Look out for news of our exciting Key Speaker soon to be appearing at our new premises.
Abena Bulletin January 2013
We have recently introduced a lower absorbency to our Abri-Form Premium and Abri-Flex Premium ranges. Both products still have the same features and benefits as the other absorbencies in our Premium range such as a fully breathable back sheet, leakage barriers and wetness indicators. As with all the Abena Premium range these products also carry the Nordic Swan Eco Label.Traditionally, the Abri-Form product has a higher absorbency but the Abri-Form
Premium Zero is our lower absorbency and can be ideal for end-users that don’t require a high absorbency but are unable to cope with a 2 piece system.As with all pull-ups the absorbency is suitable for moderate incontinence but again the Abri-Flex Premium Zero could be an ideal option for an end-user that needs the reassurance of a pull-up product but doesn’t require a higher absorbency.

Focus on... Male Incontinence
Although incontinence is more often associated with women approximately 1 in 9 men suffer with incontinence at some point in their life. The most common type of incontinence that men are diagnosed with is overflow incontinence which can be caused by an enlarged prostate gland. All men over the age of 40 will have an enlarged prostate gland which may lead to an incontinence problem. Some of the signs of an enlarged prostate are repeated urinary tract infections caused by the bladder not
emptying properly, emptying the bladder more than 7 times a day and having the sensation that the bladder hasn’t emptied properly.Dealing with incontinence can be very distressing and end-users should be encouraged to seek professional advice. However, even when undergoing treatment an i ncontinence product may be necessary to maintain the dignity of the end-user. Abena have a number of products that have been designed with men in mind.

Further news / UpdatesSurvival of the Candida Albicans on human skin under incontinence management. (Source: EDANA)
Edana’s study shows that the number of Candida Albicans has been significantly reduced by end-user’s wearing a product with a breathable backsheet in comparison to the end-users wearing a nonbreathable (ie. PE) backed product. All of Abena’s Premium range are fully breathable therefore helping to improve the skin integrity of our end-users and maintaining our philosophy.
