•Living in a RACF
•Limited mobility defined as being able to stand to pivot transfer or less
•Ability to provide informed consent or informed consent obtained from the legal person responsible
•Those defined at risk for pressure injuries based off Waterlow scores -a score of 10 or higher (pressure injury risk assessment tool).
•Below 65 years old
•Any person with a current pressure injury to heels, buttocks, or sacrum. The reason for this is due to the inability to apply barrier wipes to a wound such as a PI.
•Not living in an enrolled RACF
•Those who are palliating and at end of life
•Those with sensitivities or allergies to any ingredients in the barrier wipe
•Those that are fully mobile or able to weight bear and mobilise and able to walk more than a metre. The rationale for this is that people who are fully mobile are at less risk for PIs.
