PERI-FOAM provides superior skin management by combining essential natural oils with an odour neutraliser and the natural properties of Tea Tree Oil.
Although initially developed for use in Geriatric and Disabled nursing for incontinent residents, Peri-Foam is now being used for skin sensitive conditions in other areas of nursing.
The ingredients of Peri Foam are uniquely combined to provide cleaning properties to remove urine and faecal matter and protect against infection, barrier and moisturising protection and an odour neutraliser to reduce odours associated with incontinent episodes.
Following controlled trials specifically for incontinent residents in nursing homes, Peri-Foam has proven to be more economical than soap & water with superior benefits in skin management for sensitive skin conditions.
The results of Peri-foam being used in Palliative Care nursing as a soap replacement/full body wash has proven the benefits in specialised nursing, by providing skin care excellence.
Combining essential oils and the natural antiseptic properties of TEA TREE OIL, Peri-Foam helps with dry/irritated skin conditions, fungal conditions, nappy rash, tinea, chafe etc.
WHERE SHOULD PERI-FOAM BE USED ?
The benefits of using Peri-Foam is considered essential in Frail Aged and Dementia facilities, nursing homes and for patients being nursed at home. Disabled persons suffering the effects of paraplegia/quadriplegia and any immobile patients who require assistance with personal hygiene due to incontinent episodes also benefit from using Peri-Foam.
WHY USE TEA TREE OIL?
Nature has a way of making ‘one of a kind’ products.
Extensive studies in the 1920’s by Australian scientists found that the very complex molecular structure of Tea Tree Oil, containing 48 different compounds, has ONE which is completely unduplicatable by science. This puts Tea Tree Oil in the same category as mother’s milk, which also cannot be duplicated.
The benefits of TEA TREE OIL has been known and used in Australia for many years with some amazing proven results:-
- Tested 7 times more powerful than aloe vera.
- Strongest natural antiseptic available.
- Super penetrating (7 layers of skin).
- Non-caustic (won’t burn).
- Aromatic (actually healthy to breathe).
- Strongest natural solvent available.
- Biodegradable and environmentally safe.
