Incontinence: The uncontrollable loss of urine or f***s. In the USA 51% of women over 20 and 1 in 6 men experience incontinence. 53% of homebound older people and more than half the residents in nursing homes are incontinent (the second leading cause of institutionalization). The societal cost of incontinence for those 65 or older was $26.3 billion (National Association For Continence). Bedwetting
or nocturnal enuresis one of the most common form of incontinence amongst both children and adults. About 3% of male and female adults that are older than 18 years of age experience nocturnal enuresis and approximately 5 million children between the ages of 5 and 17 in the United States (NAFC). Those who wet the bed at the age of 18 are likely to continue to do so. Many adults and children who wet the bed can be embarrassed or ashamed, but are able to successfully manage the condition with the correct products. CONNI is a global leader in reusable textile products designed for the management of incontinence. Our range for men, women and children includes waterproof mattress and pillow protectors, absorbent and waterproof bed and chair pads, floor protection, swimming shorts and underwear. CONNI products challenge the uncomfortable, expensive and environmentally damaging culture of disposable incontinence products. Launched in Australia 15 years ago CONNI established itself as the most prescribed range of reusable incontinence products by health care professionals across the country. Today we have set up shop in the USA and are thriving. Our high quality products assist our customers to manage their incontinence needs and allow them the peace of mind, comfort and dignity they deserve. CONNI reusable incontinence products are made in layers of innovative fibers that all work in unison to create an advanced absorbent bed pad and linen protector. There are no separate layers to shrink and no plastic or PVC to become brittle or cause discomfort to the end user. Comfort layer is made from super-soft, treated polyester that is non-pilling, and encourages moisture away from the surface. Special quilting and silky-soft finishing ensures the surface is comfortable and gentle to the skin.
2. The Filter Layer is next, and is a superior fluid retention technology, fast drying and durable.
3. The Absorbent Layer traps and stores fluid.
4. The bottom layer is a PU Barrier which is totally waterproof, soft and supple, and fully launder-able, increases comfort and reduces bulk. CONNI holds the prestigious Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Accreditation certificate out of Switzerland. It has been tested to be more absorbent and last twice as long as any other product in the US market. More importantly our products keep the user drier due to a wickback rating of only 1.8%. A lower wickback rate will better assist in pressure ulcer prevention.
