Create an Awareness of
Continence Products for Men,
Women & Children
Practical solutions for the bariatric client,
those with dementia and other special
needs
Good Practice
• Essence of Care Factor 7 – Patient access
to continence supplies . Patients have
access to appropriate ‘needs specific’
supplies to assist in the management of their
incontinence (DH, 2003)
• Charter for Continence People with bladder
& bowel problems should be provided with
full, impartial information on the range of
products which are available and how to
obtain them (Continence Foundation, 1995 )

Product Design
Challenges
Products for the Bariatric (clinically
obese) Patient/client
• Problem – lack of continence products
for bariatric people
Product Challenges
• a flexible size disposable continence pad
• an assistive technology product which
would allow the ‘abdominal apron’ to be
held during clinical examination or
procedure
• Presumably many more from a clinical
perspective
Accessing the Toilet
• Problem – wheelchair dependent people
who cannot transfer to use the toilet
when in social settings
• Challenge – a discreet, portable, lightweight
hoist that will attach to all wheelchairs to
enable toileting
Men
• Problem – disposal of continence
products in men’s toilets
• Challenge – a ‘flushable’ continence
pad
• re-design and improve appearance of
male bodyworn urinals
Tell us the problem, 99% of the time

practical solution
