NORTHFIELD, IL , September 16, 2024-

Medline, a market-leading manufacturer and supplier of medical supplies and solutions, announced today new user-friendly technology for incontinence management called FitRight® CONNECT™ Wetness Sensing System. The solution combines special briefs, a sensor pod and real-time alerts to provide data that takes the guesswork out of incontinence management and helps skilled nursing home residents stay dryer longer.

Studies show that the prevalence of incontinence among nursing home residents is as high as 83.7%. Adult briefs are an important part of managing incontinence management, but are often used incorrectly due to a lack of understanding of regular urinary patterns among residents. Depending on a caregiver’s availability, residents may spend hours in a wet brief, increasing the risk of developing dermatitis or incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD).
