Faecal incontinence associated with diarrhoea can cause effects ranging from mild skin irritation to severe complications such as perineal dermatitis, altered intestinal water absorption, infection, and sepsis. It is a significant risk factor for the transmission of infections such as difficile and Norovirus. Infection can spread beyond the patient to the wider care environment, including family members and visitors.
- Effective faecal management systems (FMS) help reduce infection transmission through improved containment.
- FMS keep skin clean and dry, reducing moisture-related skin breakdown and the risk of pressure ulcers.
- They prevent contamination of the patient care environment by containing infectious waste in a closed system.
- Improved faecal management can lead to financial benefits, including fewer pressure ulcers, reduced nosocomial infections, lower nursing time and consumable costs, and decreased expenses related to clinical complications.

Incontinence is associated with an increased risk for all pressure ulcers, but especially full thickness injuries1
The substantial burden of Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI) on healthcare services, including lengthy hospital stays and readmissions, can increase the costs of managing these patients to circa £5,0002
