First Quality’s MaxSoft Technology is changing that rule and will now deliver superior softness while maintaining first-class acquisition speeds. MaxSoft Technology is a groundbreaking innovation and First Quality will be introducing this product improvement in multiple product lines over the next few months.

Tranquility Bariatric Briefs

admin — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 07:55:03 +0000

Bariatrics is the term used to define the specialty of treating obesity. Obesity increases the risks of other diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, some forms of cancer, asthma, other gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal diseases. According to the CDC two-thirds of Americans are considered overweight and the trend continues to increase each year.
Incontinence is one of the challenges associated with care of the bariatric patient. Product selection is critical but has been very confusing for the patient and caregiver alike. Manufacturers of incontinence products do not have a standard when labeling their products as bariatric. As an example, if you are going into a store to purchase a large shirt, you would have a fairly good idea what the size and fit will be like, with small variations, but how do you decipher the difference between incontinence products labeled XL, 2xl, 3xl, and bariatric? You might think it runs like clothing and a 3xl must be the largest size.
Manufacturers of incontinence products label their largest available product as bariatric even though they may be considered by most to be a large or extra large product. Understand that a product sized as 50”, 60” or even 70” is not going to properly fit a person weighing 300 – 500 lbs. When looking for a “true” bariatric product one must clearly look for a few key features. These include a true bariatric size which is 90”. Another key feature to consider is that not only does the waist fit that size but is the “meat” of the product in proportion to the waist. A large waist with a small pad-like target area is not a “true” bariatric product. Look at features and benefits that address: Odor control, pH neutralization, Leakage and bacterial inhibition as well as a product that will fit the patient and allow him/ her to maintain a dignified environment and lead as productive a life as possible. The Tranquility Bariatric Brief is the “true” bariatric brief that will meet all of those needs of your patient maintaining optimal skin health while achieving cost effectiveness.

Modern Incontinence Products

admin — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 07:29:10 +0000

Modern incontinence products provide high fluid absorption capacity with a smaller product volume. Incontinence products with highly absorbent synthetic granules can hold much more urine than cellulose products. In addition, they are more comfortable to wear than the thick cellulose products.

People with bladder weakness often think that the thicker the material, the better and choose thick cellulose-based incontinence products. They naturally assign the voluminous products a high absorption capacity. This is misleading as the development shows because: High quality incontinence products can be thin and safe at the same time! To rapidly absorb urine and to prevent rewetting, modern incontinence products not only include cellulose but also super absorbent polymer (SAP) capable of absorbing 50 times its own fluid weight. Cellulose can absorb 11 times its weight. So selecting the right material, and not maximum thickness, is decisive! Products with a three-part absorbent core (e.g. MoliForm) provide good protection: the top layer transfers the urine to the inner part, the middle layer can securely hold the fluid, even under pressure, by means of SAP granules; the bottom layer provides stability for the absorbent pad and helps distribute urine within the product.

Higher absorption capacity – Increased environmental protection
Thin incontinence products provide additional benefits. A significantly lower number of truck trips is required for the same quantity of thin products. This reduces fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

To sum up: thin incontinence products help ensure reliable treatment, while contributing to environmental protection!

Choosing Appropriate Incontinence Products

admin — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 03:53:12 +0000

Adult Incontinence is a serious condition that effects millions of Americans throughout the country. However information on choosing the appropriate incontinence products is difficult to find at best. Searching the Internet with Google for the keywords “Adult Diapers” can yield some good information about companies like Home Delivered Diapers, but most of the results provide content that is inappropriate or incomplete at best. Let’s try to remove some of the mystery.

Commonly Used Retail Incontinence Products

Adult Briefs
Disposable Underpads
Adult Protective Underwear
Bladder Control Pads – Liners- Guards

If you’re taking care of a parent, grand parent or looking to find incontinence products for yourself, understanding what types of products are available is 1/2 the battle. Adult Briefs, Protective Underwear and Bladder Control Pads are commonly used.

Adult Briefs, often referred to as Adult Diapers, are used by most bed confined residents in Nursing Homes. Adult Briefs offer better protection for heavy incontinence than other incontinence products. Most modern adult briefs are breathable, have adjustable tabs, and contain absorbent to reduces the pH and decrease odors. In the home care market, adult briefs only make up about 4% of U.S. sales.

Disposable Underpads are available in many sizes can be used to protect furniture and reduce laundering bed linens. Washable Cloth Underpads offer excellent protection as well and can keep expenses down. Washable Underpads also can be used as an aid to help adjust or move bed confined individuals.

Adult Protective Underwear account for 46% of retail sales because they have many advantages over briefs. Protective Underwear hold as much as most adult briefs. Since the stretch to fit, they are easier for someone taking care of themselves to step into just like traditional underwear. Protective underwear are more discreet. Adult incontinence effects more women than men so most products are designed to work for women. However protective underwear have designs for both men and women which place the absorbent where it is needed. Unisex Protective Underwear cost less than gender specific versions. Boxers for men will be available by the summer of 2012.

Bladder Control Pads for Women and Male Guards provide great protection for light incontinence. Both are used in cotton underwear but specially designed underwear with leak proof liners are available. Bladder Control Pads are commonly used after childbirth and are designed to reduce odor and lower the pH of urine. Male Guards are commonly used after prostate procedures.

If you need help choosing the appropriate products, several companies have qualified customer service representatives that can explain the differences. Purchasing a package of an item before you buy the whole case is a great idea. This allows you to test the quality and the fit. Even the best quality products leak if they are too large so consider buying a few different packages. Most websites that offer FREE or low cost samples are hoping to capture your email or phone number. Trying six different products in a row will just lead to confusion about which one worked.

Home health caregivers know more about incontinence products than your doctor or most nurses because they simply assist more people to use them. Finding a local caregiver if your taking care of a loved one, just makes good sense.
