Cómo manejar la incontinencia de un ser querido:
Guía para el uso adecuado de productos para la incontinencia
Cuidar a un ser querido que padece incontinencia puede ser difícil, pero con los productos y las técnicas adecuados, puede garantizar su comodidad y salud. A continuación, se ofrecen consejos clave para utilizar correctamente los productos para la incontinencia:
Proper Application of Incontinence Products
To help your loved one stay comfortable and confident, make sure they are using the right product, size, and absorbency level. Avoid using multiple products at once, as this can cause leakage. A snug fit is essential for optimal performance.
Changing Products Regularly
Regular product changes are crucial to prevent discomfort and skin irritation. Change the product whenever there is leakage to maintain cleanliness and reduce the risk of infection.
Personal Hygiene Care
Each time you change a product, cleanse the affected areas thoroughly from front to back. This helps prevent infection, such as Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). We recommend using our disposable adult washcloths, as soap and water can be harsh on sensitive skin.
Prevención de erupciones cutáneas
Las erupciones cutáneas relacionadas con la incontinencia se producen cuando la humedad permanece en la piel durante demasiado tiempo. Asegúrese de que el producto sea del tamaño adecuado y cámbielo de inmediato para evitar dañar la piel. Si aparece una erupción cutánea, consulte con su proveedor de atención médica para obtener orientación.
Manejo del olor
Para la ropa, agregue 1/2 taza de vinagre al lavado para eliminar el olor a orina.
Solución de problemas de incontinencia
Si tienes problemas de fugas, considera ajustar el nivel de absorción o el tamaño del producto. Usa nuestras tablas de altura y peso para asegurarte de que se ajusta correctamente, ya que los productos demasiado pequeños o demasiado grandes pueden causar incomodidad o fugas.
