Abena’s Bariatric Solution
We aspire to offer products based on the requirements of the individual. Our new bariatric sized products aim to help severely obese users to improve their everyday comfort and independence.
We believe that everybody has the right to proper care irrespective of their needs. We want to increase the well being of the individual as well as offer better tools for carers to assist severely obese users. Therefore, we
have launched our new bariatric solution.
The products included in our bariatric assortment are:
- Shaped pads, All-in-ones and Pull-ups
- Disposable and washable bed protection
- Skin care
- Body wash solutions are available for use with or without water
The bariatric solution includes both absorbing products as well as skin care and body wash products for both mobile and bed-bound individuals. Our skincare and body wash products are especially focused on skin folds in
order to ensure good hygiene as well as focused on improving blood circulation.
For bed-bound users and for users that have body shapes where fixation of absorbing products can be a challenge, we offer a wide range of special bed protection solutions as well as breathable underpads for the best possible comfort in addition to the absorbing products.
