A nursing pad is a disposable sanitary product made of PE film, non-woven fabric, and fluffy pulp material, mainly used for hospital surgeries, gynecological examinations, maternal care, paralyzed patients with urinary and fecal incontinence, and so on. Adult care pads are mainly used for postoperative patients, paralyzed individuals, and those who cannot take care of themselves. They are easy to replace and can prevent dirt from contaminating the bedding underneath. This product also has some inevitable problems during use. Below, the editor will share with you the usage problems and solutions of the nursing pad.
1. Bacterial infection
If urine or feces touch the skin for a long time, the pH value of the skin will increase to become alkaline, and microbial reproduction will accelerate, quickly producing a large number of bacteria that stimulate the skin.
Solution: After using the toilet, it is necessary to clean it and frequently ventilate and bask in the sun.
2. Unreasonable design of nursing pads
Some nursing pads have insufficient softness in the surface material, which can easily scratch the skin; Poor breathability can cause stuffiness and excessive humidity; Those with poor water retention will no longer feel dry after urinating once.
Solution: Carefully choose adult care pads and consider various factors such as material, cutting, water absorption, and breathability before purchasing.
3. Diapers are stuffy, damp, and hot
After defecation, patients may experience an increase in temperature and humidity in the nursing pad, resulting in a state of stuffiness, dampness, and dryness. In such an environment, the patient's skin will become soft and swollen, making it prone to injury. The ammonia gas released from urine will also directly stimulate the skin.
Solution: Replace the nursing pad immediately after wetting and choose a breathable nursing pad.
4. Frequent scrubbing
The patient's buttocks are cleaned more frequently, which can easily damage the natural oil protective film on their buttocks, making the red buttocks even more severe.
Solution: You can selectively use wet wipes to wipe, reduce the number of washes appropriately, and then apply talcum powder to keep your buttocks dry.
