1 Patient Safety
Fowler¹
Detachol® Adhesive Remover has been found to be safe and effective in an irritancy study, with patch-and-repeat open application testing revealing no propensity toward allergic or irritant contact dermatitis.
To determine the role Detachol® may play in local skin reactions

2 Patient Safety
Ryder and Duley² No significant difference in the reduction of normal skin flora was observed on skin prepped with CHG/IPA vs skin prepped with CHG/IPA followed by Mastisol or Detachol. Use of Mastisol or Detachol did not affect the antiseptic effectiveness CHG/IPA.
Evaluated compatibility of 2% clorhexidine gluconate/70% isopropyl alcohol (CHG/IPA) with Mastisol and Detachol to determine whether either product affected the antiseptic effectiveness of CHG/IPA.

3 Patient Safety
Deneau and Craig³
Cookeville Regional Medical Center
Observations of multiple patients who have received application of Detachol® Adhesive Remover before dressing removal have revealed a low incidence of allergic reaction, effective removal of adhesive residue, increased nursing efficiency associated with removal of tape and dressings, and decreased patient pain with adhesive product removal.
Evaluated effectiveness of products for enhancing CVC dressing securement and removal.

4 Patient Safety
DeVries et al.⁴
Methodist Hospitals
Over 8,000 peripheral intravenous sites were assessed. The authors reported dressing integrity was improved and no dressing-related skin injuries were reported based on continuous consultation with wound nurses.
Assessed peripheral IV (PIV) dressing adherence following implementation of care bundle including Mastisol and Detachol in a pilot study

5 Patient Safety
McNichol et al.⁵
Research reports have demonstrated that the use of solvents to break the adhesive bond between the skin and an adhesive product is an effective method for preventing skin injury associated with adhesive removal.
To define best practices for prevention of medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI). A multidisciplinary group of subject matter experts outlined consensus statements on the assessment, prevention, and treatment of medical adhesive-related skin injury.

6 Cost Avoidance
Groom et al.⁶
Economic studies have reported that the cost to treat a skin tear from incidence to complete resolution (approximately 2 weeks) is $21.96 per week.
Pilot study comparing a regimen using a skin care product line containing active ingredients and nutrients with a commercially available alternative skin care regimen. Incidence of skin tear data was collected.
