skin irritation does not improve or worsens over time, talk to a physician or
other health care professional.
- Wash skin gently. Pat dry, do not rub.

3. Lay a single layer of fabric in the skin fold, placing one edge into the base of the fold. Gently smooth the rest of the fabric over the skin, keeping it flat.

InterDry® is a skin protectant for the management of skin folds and other skin-to-skin contact areas. It reduces microbial colonization in the fabric. This single use fabric provides moisture transportation to keep skin dry while the antimicrobial in the fabric reduces odor. The safe use of InterDry fabric during pregnancy, lactation and on children has not been demonstrated. Although many patients benefit from the use of this device, results may vary. See the device labeling for detailed information including the indication, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and potential complications/adverse events.
