Abstract

We present the clinical case of a 64-year-old multi-pathological patient who presents numerous skin tears in the upper extremities.

The aim is to restore skin integrity in a patient with numerous skin tears (ST) on both forearms using a new class I medical device composed of elastic and adjustable medical grade encapsulated gel.

Once the NANDA International diagnostic labels were identified using the NNNConsult online tool, the expected results were planned along with the nursing interventions.

The care plan and cure guidelines are detailed based on the consensus evidence of the International Skin Tear Advisory Panel, also including preventive activities in risk areas (General Health, Mobility and Skin), in addition to the implementation of a new class I medical device. Finally, skin integrity is restored.

This work shows the positive preventive and therapeutic results in fragile skin and ST when carrying out a multiple care strategy with a new medical device.
