The Best Continence Products Available Today

The difference between good and bad continence products can have a surprisingly large impact. Influencing the health, comfort, dignity and mobility of patients and healthcare staff alike, it is of vital importance that the continence products you use are safe, comfortable and secure. 

However, there can be a lot of variation in what constitutes the right continence product, as the needs of their users can change drastically between locations and times of day.  In order to help you develop the right system for your patients or for yourself, we’ve compiled a list of the best continence supplies on the market. 

Catheters

Creating the right urine collection system starts with finding the right catheter. Medshop offers a range of catheters, designed with comfort, security and safety in mind. These include:

Yankauer Suction Catheters

Yankauer Suction Catheters have been designed with comfort and ease of use as their highest priority. They are moulded from a single piece of glass in order to mitigate the risk of shattering, and are fully transparent; making it easy to monitor the motion of fluids. Its suction tip has a smooth and grooved form to minimise tissue trauma, and its graduated nipple makes it compatible with a wide range of tubing types. 

MDevice Hydrophilic Coated Nelaton Catheter 

The MDevice Hydrophilic Coated Nelaton Catheter range has been designed to offer the maximum possible comfort to its users. The hydrophilic coating attracts sterile solutions, allowing it to stay well lubricated between insertion, use and extraction. These catheters are also available in a range of colours for easier organisation. 

Incontinence Garments 

Incontinence garments have proven to be an essential innovation in the continence product industry. Offering independence of movement and dignity to those who struggle with incontinence, they not only offer practical benefits, but can also support patient wellbeing. 

The Abena Abri-Fix 

Abena Abri-Fix underwear has been designed to support a range of other continence products. They are designed specifically for men, featuring an open pocket in the front to allow for product readjustment, and are tailored to provide security against leakage. Moreover, they are made from a lightweight cotton material, allowing the skin to breathe, and moisture to naturally wick away. 

Abena Man Formula 2 

The Abena Man Formula 2 is a powerful and versatile pad which offers its wearers a combination of mobility and security. The top dry layer quickly absorbs liquid and leaves a dry surface next to the skin, minimising potential discomfort. To this end, they also include Air Plus backing, which allows the skin to breathe and reduces the risk of skin irritation. 

Bambo Eco Nature Pull-Ups 

Whilst this list primarily focuses on the best adult continence products, it is worth mentioning the Bambo Eco Nature Pull-Up Pants Nappies.

These award-winning eco nappies are ultra-thin, yet super absorbent, offering full protection from leaks and spills whilst supporting your baby’s comfort and mobility. They also have excellent environmental credentials. As they are made in a production facility which effectively recycles 95% of its produce, these are one of the most eco-friendly continence options on the market. 

Abri Form Premium

The Abri Form Premium range includes a wide variety of continence products developed to provide an all-in-one solution for users suffering from moderate to heavy incontinence. They feature several unique elements, including a wetness indicator to facilitate effective changing, additional barriers for protection against leakage, and a special textile-like top and back-sheet to provide maximum comfort for the skin. They also feature a built-in odour control system for improved discretion. 

Urine Collection

These options have been chosen for their ability to facilitate the safe and comfortable relief of patients. 

Conveen Optima Catheter Urisheath 

The Conveen Optima Catheter Urisheath is an award winning tool for discreet, safe and secure urine collection.

Boasting a range of cutting-edge technology and well thought-through design, the Conveen Urisheath can be used all day with comfort, safety and discretion. 

Key amongst its features are the double grip strip and balanced adhesive, which allows it to stay firmly connected to the penis whilst in use, without causing irritation or pain on removal, and an anti-kink bellow to allow urine to move through quickly and easily.
