Incontinence care is an essential aspect of healthcare management, especially for elderly individuals who require constant assistance for maintaining hygiene and comfort. The selection of quality underpads for elderly care can significantly impact the quality of life by providing superior absorbency, comfort, and ease of use. INTCO Medical, a global leader in the production of medical consumables and protective products, has transformed the landscape of incontinence care with its premium underpads. Known for its world-class disposable gloves and extensive product portfolio, INTCO is also recognized for pioneering innovative healthcare solutions that enhance user experience and meet the specific needs of elderly care and incontinence management.

The following blog illustrates how INTCO Medical’s underpads have increased comfort, reliability, and hygiene for incontinence sufferers, thus assuring a high level of quality care for both patients and caretakers.

Commitment to Unrivaled Quality and Innovation

As one of the most substantial and trustworthy medical consumable manufacturers worldwide, INTCO Medical has managed to create a great name for itself in producing items that are second to none in quality and performance.

INTCO Medical always guarantees excellence in manufacturing for the different products it produce. Tests like FDA, ISO, and CE verify that underpads can be safely used under all conditions anywhere in the world. With customer satisfaction and continuous improvement regarding its product lines, the value and performance of underpads are maximally returned to the users of every underpad.

Key Features That Enhance the User Experience

Soft, Hypoallergenic Materials for Maximum Comfort

The non-woven surface layer of INTCO underpads is engineered with soft, hypoallergenic materials that are gentle on the skin. In the case of sensitive skin, especially for aged patients, long-term use of underpads can cause frowst or discomfort. INTCO’s focus on skin-friendly materials guarantees the breathability, offering a comfortable experience while enhancing patient satisfaction.

Studies have shown that the most prevalent problem in elderly incontinence care is skin irritation caused by prolonged exposure to moisture and friction. According to the National Institutes of Health, skin care for bedridden patients is critical, and the use of underpads featuring soft, non-abrasive surfaces reduces the incidence of pressure ulcers and rashes by a significant percentage. INTCO’s non-woven surface layer effectively addresses these concerns, ensuring superior comfort over an extended period.

Rapid Liquid Absorption and Long-lasting Dryness

INTCO underpads boast top-notch absorbency, handling high fluid volumes while keeping skin dry. This is a sure way to maintain good, healthy skin. The nature of rapid liquid absorption properties in INTCO underpads is possible in the advanced materials, which are designed to draw the moisture away as fast as possible.

A major innovation within their design is the utilization of superabsorbent polymers which help to lock moisture; preventing leakage and enabling these patients to remain dry for long periods. According to recent research in the Journal of Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nursing, management of moisture is one of the major factors in skin breakdown prevention and wound healing promotion. INTCO’s underpads minimize the risks of prolonged exposure to moisture through skin dryness, hence offering comfort and health to the wearer.

Breathable and Waterproof Interlayer Options

INTCO Medical offers underpads with a PE film interlayer that is available in both breathable and waterproof options. This balance between breathability and leak-proof protection helps maintain the skin’s health and hygiene, which is especially important for elderly patients in need of long-term care.

The breathable interlayer option limits the occurrence of pressure ulcers because the skin can “breathe” while still keeping the bed linens and surroundings dry. On the other hand, the waterproof interlayer is designed to ensure that fluids do not leak, hence ideal for users with heavier incontinence or for institutional use.

Lightweight and Easy to Use Design

INTCO’s underpads are designed to be lightweight and thin for easy handling, disposal, and changing. Compact and portable in design, these underpads add convenience for both caregivers and users. These underpads are available in sizes that range from small (30x45cm) to extra-large (90x190cm), which can be adapted to various patient needs.

Variety of Underpads for Various Needs

INTCO Medical provides underpads that suit multiple needs in the line of incontinence care, which include:

Underpads Moderate: From 60x40cm up to 90x90cm in size, these are for general use, providing moderate absorbency and protection. Ideal for elderly incontinence care and light incontinence management. Available in multiple colors: white, blue, and custom.

Underpad Ultra: 90x190cm in size, with a total weight of 135g, is designed for heavy incontinence or bedridden patients who require extra coverage. These underpads offer superior absorbency for extended use, reducing the frequency of changes and improving patient comfort.

Basic Underpads: For cost-effective care, the basic line features smaller sizes (30x45cm, 40x60cm, 60x90cm) with lighter weights, ranging from 10 to 50 grams for the treatment of light incontinence. These ensure real reliability and protection in daily application.

Advanced Manufacturing for Maximum Efficiency

INTCO Medical utilizes advanced manufacturing technologies to guarantee high production standards. For over 20 years, INTCO has produced medical consumables with top-of-the-line production equipment provided by industry leaders such as Siemens and Rockwell. These facilityies ensure that every underpad is made with high quality.

Why Choose INTCO for Your Incontinence Care Needs

The selection of appropriate underpads is paramount for the best care for the elderly and those affected by incontinence. INTCO Medical is committed to quality and innovation, thus being the best choice for incontinence care. Its underpads offer a higher level of protection, comfort, and reliability, offering solutions to meet the needs of healthcare providers, nursing homes, and families with varied needs.

In addition to underpads, INTCO offers a wide range of glove products, including nitrile gloves, latex gloves and vinyl gloves. Disposable gloves play an important auxiliary function when used in conjunction with underpads. When nursing staff change the underpads for patients, wearing gloves can keep the hands clean and avoid direct contact with excreta, and thus reduce the risk of bacterial transmission. At the same time, the flexible use of gloves can more accurately adjust the position of underpads to ensure that they are in the best protective state.

The underpads at INTCO Medical are an exceptional benchmark for incontinence and elderly care. Because of the company’s concern for comfort, absorbency, and skin protection, such underpads fulfill the expectations not only of users but also of medical professionals and carers. Advanced manufacturing processes combined with leading technologies ensure high quality while securing INTCO Medical as a leading driver for innovative healthcare.
