Overview
The aim of the present paper is to raise awareness of the incidence of skin injuries associated with the use of adhesive materials in the delivery of healthcare. It seeks to promote a culture change in approach so that prevention of medical adhesive-related skin injury becomes an integral part of comprehensive patient care. Preventive measures are essential to minimize risks and ensure optimal care. Adherence to proper procedures can significantly reduce the risk of complications and promote processes leading to patient healing. The need for education about this form of skin damage is one of the critical topics in skin care and wound management.
