Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The purpose of this study is to describe the physical configuration of disposable and reusable absorbent products and relate composition and construction to efficacy in the management of urinary incontinence in patients with burn injuries. The basic structure of a wearable absorbent product consists of three layers: a fluid-impermeable backing sheet, a fluid-pervious coverstock on the body-contacting surface, and an interposed absorbent core. The biomechanical performance of these absorbent products was determined by measuring the total absorbent capacity, defined as the maximum amount of liquid held by the product as a whole. On the basis of the results of this study, absorbent products are recommended for the incontinent patient with burns. |
