Awareness of medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI) has increased in the decade since a foundational consensus report was published in 2013. Additional research has provided greater knowledge of the epidemiology of MARSI, along with its assessment, prevention, and management. To summarize knowledge generated in the past decade and review our current understanding of MARSI, a panel of nine clinical experts from four countries (United States of America, United Kingdom, Canada, and Brazil) convened to discuss the literature published since the initial 2013 document and develop updated recommendations for clinical practice. The group formulated 20 updated consensus statements covering the assessment, prevention, and management of skin injuries related to adhesive medical devices and proposed next steps to address remaining gaps in research and knowledge of this complex and clinically relevant condition.
