Diaper Rashes And Air Inspire
An Aerospace Engineer’s Invention
One day a new mother brought her premature infant home after his release from the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit. She immediately encountered a problem.
A nasty diaper rash spread over her child’s bottom, a condition common with babies but even worse in preemies because of their not fully developed skin.
Her pediatrician recommended Desitin, but unconvinced that would suffice the mother turned to an online forum to seek advice from fellow preemie moms.
“What's the deal with keeping baby dry?” she wrote. “Is cloth better because it breathes – or does baby stay wetter? What would you do?”
Mothers weighed in, sharing rash stories and rash treatments.
Colleen John, a Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) nurse, along with Nigel Parker, an aerospace engineer, pursued an answer to this problem for several years. Parker did not participate in this forum but if he had, he would have suggested a one-word remedy: air.
“It’s been well known to parents for a long time that air does a better job of healing diaper rashes and bed sores than ointments or other treatments,” Parker says. “The problem, of course, is how to deliver that air to where it’s needed continuously, whether the patient is mobile or bed-ridden.”
After years of research and development , Parker who is Founder and CEO of RashEndZ Inc. (www.RashEndZ.com), invented the RashEndZTM technology, a non-cloggable, non-occludable skin-aeration liner for incontinence garments that prevents and treats those rashes. They call this therapy Dynamic Oxygen Skin Therapy (DOST™).
Adult sizes are already on the market for adults who suffer from incontinence, diaper rash or bedsores. Soon to join them will be infant sizes. Health care facilities are a target audience, but REZair™ is now available to the general public as well.
Here’s how this general-wellness product works: The skin-aeration liner is inserted inside a diaper, incontinence garment or wound dressing and is “structurally designed to avoid contact with the rash or wound.” REZair connects to any air/oxygen source and circulates air or oxygen on the rash. This helps keep the skin dry and speeds up skin repair and healing. The liner is disposable and a new one can be inserted in a few seconds with each diaper change.
In most cases diaper rashes are mild, but sometimes become extreme. The Mayo Clinic has a few diaper-rash tips, but recommends seeing a physician if symptoms persist: The clinic’s tips include:
Maintaining continuous airflow, of course, became Parker’s focus. To be successful, the product should be easy to use, disposable and safe. He concentrated on making it all those things.
“This is rocket science applied to business,” he says. “I’m an engineer – just one who happened to be on a mission that began with healing diaper rash for babies and led to topical oxygen wound care for all.”

Civil Rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would be outraged that people with disabilities do not have equal access to 911 medical & police services
Dr. King is an inspiration and hero to me, like him, I must be a strong voice to defend the defenseless and speak out against these gross injustices.”
— Michael Carey - Advocate for people with disabilities and their families
ALBANY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, April 6, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Civil Rights Leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fought and was killed for equal rights, yet some of the worst discrimination in civil rights continues in 2018 in New York State because of Governor Andrew Cuomo.
- 1955 - Rosa Parks was denied equal seating on a bus; she refused to relinquish her seat to a white man which was the spark that ignited the Civil Rights Movement that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. championed.
- 2018 – New York Governor Andrew Cuomo continues to deny equal access to 911 emergency services for 1,000,000 people with disabilities. Cuomo also treats the disabled unequally by denying our most vulnerable their basic constitutional right to equal protections of laws when they are victims of crimes.
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
It is amazing that Gov. Cuomo claims to champion equal rights, but ignores New York State residents with disabilities, the massive Discrimination in Civil rights cannot be any clearer.
Gov. Cuomo's press release on the 50th anniversary of the assassination of MLK makes no mention of the disabled, they are a forgotten group of people and they are victims of horrific discrimination. The number one known reason for what are being called "untimely" deaths, but in all reality, criminally negligent homicides, of people with developmental disabilities is staff NOT calling 911. As Cuomo looks the other way and countless innocent people with disabilities die because they do not get 911 emergency assistance, he continues to do everything possible to hide his civil rights violations and the wide-scale discrimination.
Gov. Cuomo has the nerve to say this in his press release on the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. King;
"We continue to fight against discrimination, inequality ..." Then his very last sentence and statement is "The obligation to continue Dr. King's work now, more than ever, rests in our hands." Yet, at the very same time, literally thousands of crimes occurring against the disabled in his mental health care system, including most rapes and deaths, every year disappear and are purposefully kept from local authorities and the courts.
Dr. King would vehemently speak out against this evil to end this horrific discrimination against the disabled. Dr. King is an inspiration and hero to me, like him, I must be a strong voice to defend the defenseless and speak out against these gross injustices.
Governor Cuomo must be investigated by the US Department of Justice Civil Rights Division and Criminal Division for some of the worst civil rights atrocities imaginable, they are likened to war crimes. Numerous federal crimes, along with the civil rights atrocities, corruption and obstruction of justice is believed to be the worst in New York State history.
