kontinensprodukter

Kontinensprodukter are produkter designed to manage urinary or fecal incontinence. They are used by people who have reduced bladder or bowel control to maintain hygiene, reduce moisture and odor, and protect the skin. They come in several forms, including absorbent pads and liners, adult diapers (pants or pull-up styles), protective underwear, and gender-specific shields for men and women. For overnight protection, bed protectors and mattress covers can be used, while reusable or disposable items target different preferences and budgets. In many markets, products exist for light to moderate leakage and heavy incontinence, with absorbency ratings expressed in milliliters or numbers of drops.

Key considerations when selecting continence products include level of leakage, mobility, fit and body shape, skin sensitivity, and comfort. Breathable materials, a secure fit, and easy removal are important for daily use. Skin care is essential; barrier creams and gentle cleansing products help prevent dermatitis, and frequent changing reduces irritation and infection risk. Environmentally, options include disposable products and reusable cloth products; disposal guidance varies by region. Some products claim flushability or easy disposal, but concerns about plumbing should be considered.

Regulatory and care pathways vary by country. In many places, continence products are considered medical devices or hygiene products and may be subsidized or prescribed by healthcare providers. Training for caregivers on correct fitting, changing frequency, and skin care improves outcomes.
