Support tools
Besides incontinence products Abena offers a wide range of support tools
in addition to Continence Management. Abri-Check Web is a software
programme which provides valuable feedback following the keying in of
information from user cards.
Abri-Check Web
It makes financial sense to monitor the pad
consumption closely, and that is why Abena has
developed our Abri-Check-Web service.
¡¡ Abri-Check-Web provides a specific consumption
overview both for each ward and for the whole
institution.
¡¡ Abri-Check-Web is a simple user-friendly system.
Being web-based, the system is housed on a server
at Abena, which means that all you require is
access to the Internet and a Windows-compatible
computer.
¡¡ Abena maintains all information on products
and prices. The individual ward only has to
register consumption and enter the data into
Abri-Check-Web.
¡¡ The data entered into the Abri-Check-Web offers the possibility of forecasting future consumption
in a given period, which makes it easier and safer
for the ward to prepare budgets and order goods.

The weighing test is carried out by weighing the pad before and after use.
The weight increase is equal to the urination amount. The weighing test
