Continence Management Program

Continence Management

NAHCA-approved in support of Medline’s skin health initiative

Proper continence care takes more than quality products. It takes a comprehensive program designed to help maintain resident comfort and improve outcomes. Go beyond briefs with Medline Continence Management Program.

Pick the Right Products

The FitRight® Assessment Tool has been designed to help caregivers determine which type of disposable incontinence management product is needed for each individual resident. Once an assessment is completed, caregivers will know the following:

The best product to use for that patient
The correct size
Level of absorbency required to manage output
How much product will be needed each week/month

Without a product that fits right, a culture has developed where residents are placed in larger briefs to accommodate bigger thighs. This creates problems: leakage, odor, compromised skin integrity, discomfort, loss of confidence, and escalating costs.
