    2012
    Co-Authors: Ng Sau-fun, Hui Chi-leung, Wong Lai-fan
    Abstract:

    The paper critically reviews medical garments with various functions and development aspects. Textiles used and developing technologies are systematically introduced. Medical garment products are described according to three major functions: protective, treatment and caring functions. Although the main theme of this paper discusses products for the elderly and the disabled, it also contains major parts on medical garments, which include personal protective equipment (PPE), hip protectors (HP), pressure garments (PG), compression stockings (CS), wet dressings, products for wound dressing, Adult Incontinence products, sanitary napkins, disposable diapers, vital signs monitoring garments, motion aware clothing, wearable sensors and smart diapers and so on. The development of apparel for the elderly and the disabled is a challenge for the healthcare and clothing industries. The developed apparel products are not only based on various design, fashion and comfort concepts but also considered in terms of particu...

  • Specific dermatological benefits associated with quantities of lotion transferred to the skin
    Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2017
    Co-Authors: Miranda A. Farage, Juan Esquerra, Richard Cheng, Stacey Carpenter, Kathryn Bunasky, Denise Gutshall, Ann Lawrence, Andre Messerschmidt
    Abstract:

    SummaryBackground A growing number of manufacturers are taking advantage of the ability of absorbent consumer products to deliver lotion to the skin. The lotion is included on these products to help protect the skin from adverse skin effects that can occur, including: 1) irritation, 2) over hydration of the stratum corneum, 3) dryness that can occur from extended exposure to highly absorbent consumer products and 4) changes in pH. Objective This manuscript presents results of a quantitative lotion transfer study of Adult Incontinence products. Resulting lotion transfer is compared to the results of several separate experiments in which specific skin benefits have been correlated to lotion concentrations. Methods The Behind-the-Knee (BTK) lotion transfer protocol was used to quantitate lotion transfer from Adult Incontinence (AI) test products constructed using 2 lotion formulations and two configurations of lotion application. A modified arm patch protocol, in which skin sites of a measured dimension were pre-treated with specific volumes of lotion, was used to evaluate protective effects of lotion against exposure to irritants, and over hydration from wetted absorbent products. Results After a 6-hr continuous exposure in the BTK the five-stripe lotion configuration products transferred (adjusted mean ± SE) 94 ± 11 μg/cm2 to 104 ± 11 μg/cm2 lotion. After 24 hr of wear, transfer had increased to 127 ± 22 μg/cm2 and 149 ± 24 μg/cm2, respectively. The single-block configuration products transferred 289 ± 10 μg/cm2 to 316 ± 10 μg/cm2 (P = 0.04). Transfer after 24 hr of wear was 328 ± 23 μg/cm2 and 472 ± 21 μg/cm2, respectively (P 

  • A randomized, controlled trial comparing skin health effects and comfort of two Adult Incontinence protective underwear.

    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND/PURPOSE It is important to confirm product use effects on skin health for products intended for prolonged skin contact. This study compared experimental and marketed reference Adult Incontinence protective underwear. METHODS Randomized, single-blind (examiner), parallel study evaluating skin health effects in predominantly obese incontinent women normally using protective underwear (approximately 20% Type II Diabetes). Subjects wore experimental or marketed reference protective underwear daily, 14 consecutive days. Visual skin grading, transepidermal water loss (TEWL) assessed before, after 1 and 2 weeks of product wear. Overall assessment of comfort assessed. RESULTS Of the 122 subjects (60 experimental and 62 marketed reference), 22 were diabetic and 88 were postmenopausal. Under the conditions of this study, there were no statistically significant differences in overall change from baseline for visual grading and TEWL between the experimental product and the marketed reference product for all subjects. Changes from baseline for skin erythema and skin marking were generally small for both products for all subjects as well as for both diabetics and non-diabetics. There were no serious adverse events (AEs), and no withdrawals due to AEs. Overall comfort assessments of size and fit were 'just right,' and skin comfort in the leg, waist and crotch areas were 'comfortable' or 'very comfortable' for both products. CONCLUSIONS In-use 14-day testing demonstrated few statistical differences between experimental product with unique odor neutralizing technology and currently marketed product for skin assessments and comfort. Both products were comfortable and well-tolerated.

  • Quality standards for choosing an Adult Incontinence product.
    Director (Cincinnati Ohio), 2004
    Co-Authors: James A Minetola, Eileen M Bowe, Lucille B Levine
    Abstract:

    Urinary Incontinence (UI) is the leading cause for institutionalization of the elderly. According to the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), over 50% of the elderly resident population living in nursing homes are considered to be incontinent. In long term care facilities, 33% of medical supplies purchased are Incontinence products. This 33% represents the number one item for this classification of expenses.
