Information about pad weighing before and after 8 hours wearing time:

Weigh the pad before usage, wear the pad for 8 hours and weigh the used pad after usage. The difference from the before and after measurement is the ml. urine loss. Secure normal fluid intake and normal daily activities.

Profile 1

Those persons with incontinence who have no need for care from others, although they may benefit from support in choosing appropriate containment products.

Profile 2

Those with either moderately reduced mobility or occasional mild confusion and able to dress themselves, requiring occasional support but mostly achieving full toileting. Containment products provide reassurance in case toileting is not successful.

Profile 3

A combination of possible occasional confusion and either significantly reduced mobility or the inability to dress themselves, requiring assistance on many or most toileting occasions. A greater dependence on carer assistance, which may not always be available when needed, means the individual has to rely more often on containment than those with profile 2.

Profile 4

A significant degree of confusion means a greater need for carer involvement to identify when to toilet as well as support with the toileting itself, with more reliance on containment than those with profile 3. Mobility may be reduced to the degree that a maximum of one carer is required. The individual may or may not need assistance with dressing. Successful toileting is still achievable with a high degree of personalised care.

Profile 5

Restricted mobility is the driver of T&CC (toileting and containment care) requirements. The need for an active mechanical lift in addition to support from a single carer to transfer to the toilet requires more carer time and results in a greater reliance on containment than those with profile 4. In addition the individual may have any degree of confusion. Reduced mobility makes the individual likely to require support with dressing. Successful toileting is still achievable with carer support and a high degree of personalised care.

Profile 6

Further reduction in mobility beyond profile 5 drives T&CC (toileting and containment care) needs. Toileting may still be possible with use of a passive mechanical lift and two carers to allow use of a bedside commode, but advanced immobility means that the majority of urine voids require containment, while faecal accidents are more likely to occur. The individual is likely to need help with dressing. This degree of immobility may be accompanied by any degree of confusion.
