Product Information

Full details

The ABENA San 12 - 4000ml Absorbency Premium Incontinence Pads are designed for adults seeking high-level protection and skin health. Their key benefit is superior leakage protection and comfort through advanced Top-Dry Technology. A potential caveat is the high absorbency level, which may be more than needed for lighter needs, leading to potential bulkiness.

FAQs

What is Top-Dry Technology?

Top-Dry Technology is a system that ensures rapid absorption of liquid, pulling it away from the skin surface and into the pad's core, leaving the skin feeling dry and comfortable.

Are these pads suitable for men and women?

Yes, these are unisex incontinence pads designed for both men and women. The anatomical design and leakage barriers offer protection for all wearers.

How often should I change the pad?

The frequency of change depends on the individual's needs and the amount of fluid. Generally, pads should be changed when the wetness indicator shows significant saturation or as soon as possible after soiling to maintain skin health.

Can I reuse the incontinence pad?

No, ABENA San incontinence pads are designed for single use only. Reuse can compromise absorbency, hygiene, and increase the risk of infection.

What does the 4000ml absorbency rating mean?

The 4000ml rating indicates the approximate maximum fluid volume the pad can hold under standard testing conditions. It signifies a very high absorbency level suitable for severe incontinence.

What is the Nordic Swan Ecolabel?

The Nordic Swan Ecolabel is a certification indicating that the product meets strict environmental standards throughout its lifecycle, from raw material sourcing to production and disposal.

How do the standing barriers work?

The standing barriers are flexible cuffs that stand up along the edges of the pad. They create a seal against the body to prevent leakage from the sides, especially when the pad is full or during movement.

Troubleshooting

Pad not staying in place

Ensure the underwear is snug-fitting. Re-apply the pad, making sure adhesive strips are firmly attached to the fabric and standing barriers are correctly positioned.

Leaks occurring

Check that the standing and cross barriers are properly unfolded and positioned against the body. Ensure the pad is the correct size and fitted snugly. Avoid overfilling the pad beyond its intended capacity.

Skin irritation

Ensure the pad is changed promptly when wet. Cleanse the skin thoroughly during changes. Confirm the breathable backsheet is not obstructed. Consult a healthcare professional if irritation persists.

Wetness indicator difficult to read

Hold the pad up to a light source or use a flashlight to better see the lines on the indicator. For caregivers, regular checks of the pad's fullness may be more reliable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent skin protection due to breathable materials and fast absorption.
  • High absorbency capacity suitable for severe incontinence and overnight use.
  • Designed for comfort with an anatomical fit and soft materials.
  • Environmentally friendly with Nordic Swan Ecolabel certification.
  • Provides discreet protection with advanced leakage barriers.

Cons

  • The high absorbency may feel bulky for individuals with lighter needs.
  • Requires careful fitting to ensure the leakage barriers function optimally.
  • Wetness indicator might be difficult for some users to interpret without assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unfold the pad carefully.
  2. If the pad has adhesive strips, remove the backing paper.
  3. Position the pad within the user's underwear, ensuring the standing barriers are upright against the crotch area.
  4. Secure the pad using the adhesive strips (if applicable) to the outside of the underwear, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit.

Compatibility:

These pads are designed for use with standard-fitting underwear. For optimal performance, a close-fitting brief-style underwear is recommended to keep the pad securely in place. Avoid using with loose-fitting boxers or mesh-style underwear, as this can compromise the seal and lead to leaks.

Care:

  • Storage: Store pads in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep packaging sealed to maintain hygiene.
  • Disposal: Used pads should be disposed of properly. Wrap the used pad securely and place it in a sanitary waste bin. Do not flush used incontinence products, as this can clog plumbing.
  • Skin Care: Change pads regularly, especially when soiled or wet, to maintain skin health. Cleanse the skin thoroughly during changes and consider using barrier creams if recommended by a healthcare professional.
