The paper describes the functional requirements of urinary incontinence pads and reviews the results of several studies which seek to relate the clinical performance of pads to their design and the technical properties of their constituent materials. Pad designs covered include: simple rectangular (for use with conventional pants or marsupial pants containing a pouch); wing-folded; shaped; and all-in-one infant-style diapers. Data on the clinical and technical properties of fluff wood pulp and hydrogel absorbents, and viscose rayon, polyester, polypropylene and polyethylene coverstocks are presented. Attention is focussed on four major aspects of pad function: freedom from leakage; freedom from discomfort and skin damage; ease of application and removal; and aesthetic properties. The relationships established between clinical and technical data will be of interest to health care professionals selecting products; organizations seeking to create standards; and pad designers.
本文描述了尿失禁护理垫的功能要求，并回顾了多项研究的结果，这些研究旨在将护理垫的临床性能与其设计以及构成材料的技术特性联系起来。涵盖的护理垫设计包括：简单矩形（用于搭配传统裤子或带有口袋的袋鼠裤）；翼状折叠式；成型的；以及一体式婴儿款式尿布。文中给出了绒毛木浆和水凝胶吸收剂，以及粘胶人造丝、聚酯、聚丙烯和聚乙烯覆盖材料的临床和技术性能数据。重点关注护理垫功能的四个主要方面：防漏；无不适感和皮肤损伤；易于穿戴和取下；以及美观性。临床数据与技术数据之间建立的关系将对选择产品的医疗保健专业人员、寻求制定标准的组织以及护理垫设计师具有参考价值。
