ADULT PANTS

PRIMARY USES

1. Management of Moderate to Severe Urinary Incontinence for Ambulatory Adults
Primary Use: Provides high-absorbency, pull-up style disposable protection designed for ambulatory adults experiencing moderate to severe urinary incontinence, allowing the user to maintain independence by changing their own protection without assistance .
How it helps: For the urologist, geriatrician, and primary care physician, maintaining patient dignity and independence is a key goal in incontinence management. Unlike tape-style diapers that require lying down for application, adult pants are designed to be pulled on and off like ordinary underwear, enabling independent changes for those with sufficient mobility. The 360 Air Waistband and dual leg cuffs provide a secure, comfortable fit that adapts to body movement while preventing leaks. For the patient, this means maintaining dignity, autonomy, and the ability to participate in social activities without fear of embarrassment or reliance on caregivers.
2. X-Core Channel Technology for Advanced Leakage Protection and Skin Dryness
Primary Use: Incorporates channeled X-Core technology with an X-shaped absorption distribution system that guides fluid away from the skin 2x faster than standard products, turning liquid into gel instantly while preventing leakage on the sides, front, or back .
How it helps: For the dermatologist and continence nurse, prolonged skin contact with urine leads to incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD), skin breakdown, and pressure ulcers. The X-CORE channel system provides instant absorption and keeps humidity away from skin for a fresher feeling and enhanced comfort, while the channeled design distributes fluid evenly across the core . The unique X-Shape allows for extra distribution at the back of the adult pants, further preventing leakage when lying down . For the patient and caregiver, this means reduced risk of skin complications, fewer clothing and bedding changes, and enhanced confidence in the product’s performance.
3. Dual Absorption Zones and Triple Wetness Indicators for Timely Changes
Primary Use: Features dual absorption zones for maximum dryness, integrated leakage barriers for secure protection, and up to three wetness indicators that provide visual confirmation of saturation levels, helping users and caregivers know exactly when a change is needed .
How it helps: For the healthcare provider and family caregiver, knowing when to change an incontinence product without unnecessary disturbance is a significant challenge. The triple wetness indicators change colour as saturation progresses—users are advised to prepare to change when the first line disappears . The dual absorption zones ensure even distribution of fluid across the core, maximising absorbent capacity utilisation . For the caregiver, this means efficient, timely changes that minimise both leakage risk and unnecessary product waste.
4. Odour Control Technology for Discretion and Social Confidence
Primary Use: Equipped with odour neutralisers that reduce ammonia smell and neutralise odours instantly and for longer periods, allowing users to maintain social confidence without fear of odour detection .
How it helps: For the psychologist and social worker supporting patients with incontinence, fear of odour detection is a leading cause of social isolation, depression, and withdrawal from activities. The odour control technology neutralises odours as they occur, preventing the build-up of ammonia smell that can be detectable to others . For the patient, this means the confidence to continue participating in social activities, employment, and family life without the constant anxiety of odour detection.
5. Gender-Specific Design for Anatomically Appropriate Protection
Primary Use: Available in gender-specific variants with designs tailored to male and female anatomy—females have higher urine distribution at the back, while males have concentrated absorption in the front—optimising absorbent material placement for maximum protection .
How it helps: For the urologist and continence advisor, male and female urinary incontinence patterns differ significantly due to anatomical differences. Female urine flow tends to be distributed toward the back of the pad, while male urine flow is concentrated at the front . Gender-specific adult pants optimise the placement of absorbent material based on these anatomical differences, ensuring maximum protection where it is needed most. For the patient, this means better fit, improved comfort, and reduced leakage risk compared to unisex products.

SECONDARY USES

1. Postpartum lochia and gynaecological procedure recovery: For women in the postpartum period or recovering from procedures such as dilation and curettage (D&C), endometrial biopsy, or hysterectomy, adult pants provide convenient, pull-up protection that can be changed without assistance, allowing new mothers to care for their newborns while managing heavy lochia flow .
2. Post-surgical recovery for patients with mobility limitations: For patients recovering from hip replacement, knee replacement, spinal surgery, or abdominal surgery who have temporary mobility restrictions, adult pants offer pull-up protection that can be managed independently or with minimal assistance, supporting earlier discharge and home recovery .
3. Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and stroke rehabilitation: For patients with progressive neurological conditions or post-stroke deficits affecting mobility and fine motor control, adult pants with soft elastic waistbands and easy-tear side seams allow for dignified, independent changes even with reduced hand strength or coordination .
4. Nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) management in adults: For adults experiencing primary or secondary nocturnal enuresis, adult pants designed for up to 8-10 hours of protection provide overnight security without requiring middle-of-the-night changes, supporting uninterrupted sleep and improved quality of life .
5. Dementia and Alzheimer’s care for ambulatory patients: For cognitively impaired patients who retain the ability to toilet independently but experience functional incontinence (inability to recognise need or locate toilet), adult pants that resemble regular underwear reduce the stigma associated with product use and may help maintain toileting habits for longer .

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

  • Plastic bag suffocation hazard: Keep plastic packaging away from children. Dispose of packaging immediately after opening. Store adult pants in a location where children cannot access them.
  • Do not flush: Adult pants do not dissolve in water and will cause severe plumbing blockages. Always dispose in a waste container.
  • Change frequency: Prolonged wear of a wet product (more than 8 hours) increases risk of incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD), fungal infections, and pressure ulcers. Change promptly when wet or soiled .
  • Appropriate sizing: Wear a size that fits snugly to prevent leaks. Refer to size chart based on waist measurement. Ill-fitting products may cause leakage or skin irritation .
  • Skin breakdown risk: Urine irritates and macerates skin, contributing to sacral pressure ulcer formation in bedbound patients. Thoroughly clean and dry skin at each change. Consider using skin barrier cream or lotion.
  • Medical assessment: Do not assume incontinence is irreversible. All adults should be screened for incontinence as reversible causes (delirium, infection, medications, stool impaction) may be treatable.
  • Not for heavy bowel incontinence: For heavy bowel incontinence, tape-style diapers with full wrap-around protection may provide better containment than pull-up pants.
  • Keep skin dry: Remove wet products immediately. Remove all wet clothing and linen. Thoroughly clean and dry skin before applying fresh product.
  • Store properly: Keep adult pants in a dry, clean place. Seal packaging well to avoid dust entering. Do not use if packaging is damaged.

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

  • Incontinence-associated dermatitis (skin rash/irritation): Discontinue use of current product if persistent irritation develops. Gently cleanse area with warm water and mild, pH-balanced cleanser. Pat dry (do not rub). Apply zinc oxide barrier cream. Allow area to air dry before applying fresh product. Consider switching to hypoallergenic or cloth alternative. If rash persists for more than 48 hours, consult a healthcare professional.
  • Fungal infection (candidiasis): If rash appears bright red with satellite lesions, may indicate Candida infection. Consult healthcare provider for antifungal treatment. Keep area dry and change products more frequently.
  • Pressure ulcer concern: If you notice reddened areas that do not blanch (turn white when pressed) on sacrum, buttocks, or hips, especially in bedbound patients, reposition the patient immediately, keep skin clean and dry, and consult a wound care nurse or physician.
  • Eye contact (product materials): If product materials accidentally contact the eye, rinse immediately with plenty of lukewarm water for 15 minutes. Seek ophthalmologic advice if irritation persists.

3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

  • Flammability: The cellulose, polyethylene, polypropylene, and SAP components are combustible. Adult pants will burn if exposed to open flame.
  • Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚). No special restrictions apply.
  • Fire Response: For small fires involving adult pants, use an appropriate extinguisher. For large fires, evacuate areas. Burning materials may release smoke and fumes. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear.
