The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of various absorbent materials (fluff pulp and superabsorbent) on the leakage performance of incontinence pads. A shaped pad-and-pant system was used as the basic design and four pad types made to different specifications were compared using a double-blind technique. Forty-five elderly hospital residents who were incontinent of urine used all four pad types in a randomly allocated order. Data were recorded on more than 5000 pads over a 2-month period. Leakage was reduced by adding a second layer of fluff pulp and, whilst the addition of a superabsorbent material tended to reduce leakage further, we found no clear relationship between the amount of superabsorbent and the reduction of leakage. Other data indicated the importance of securing the pad in place with the appropriate net pants and the leakage rates of pads in relation to the amount of urine they contained. This research suggests that superabsorbent materials have great potential for reducing the leakage rate of incontinence pads but that the way in which they are incorporated into the pad, the amount of fluff pulp and the design of the pad also play an important part.
本研究的目的是评估各种吸收材料（绒毛浆和高吸水性树脂）对失禁垫渗漏性能的影响。采用一种成型的垫裤系统作为基本设计，并使用双盲技术比较了四种不同规格的垫。45名老年住院尿失禁患者按随机分配的顺序使用了所有四种类型的垫。在两个月的时间里，对5000多个垫进行了数据记录。添加第二层绒毛浆可减少渗漏，虽然添加高吸水性树脂材料往往会进一步减少渗漏，但我们发现高吸水性树脂的用量与渗漏减少之间没有明确的关系。其他数据表明了使用合适的网状内裤将垫固定到位的重要性，以及垫的渗漏率与其中所含尿量的关系。这项研究表明，高吸水性树脂材料在降低失禁垫渗漏率方面具有巨大潜力，但它们融入垫的方式、绒毛浆的用量和垫的设计也起着重要作用。
