Nursing home residents have diverse body shapes and waist sizes. This, combined with different mobility levels, makes it harder to find incontinence products that provide a secure fit and effective protection for each individual. This can result in leakages, skin health issues, heavier workloads and higher costs.
Improved TENA ProSkin Flex
More elasticity to fit different body shapes and reduce strain on caregivers
With extra elasticity to fit different body shapes and unique innovations for even easier use, improved TENA ProSkin Flex means comfort and security for more residents. It also means more efficiency and less physical strain for caregivers and more opportunities for nursing homes to create greater value and less waste

Improved for more flexibility and a perfect fit
More fit, less fuss
With more elasticity and width increased by more than 40%, the ComfiStretch belt now adapts to support larger waist sizes, providing comfort and great leakage security.
More dignity, less discomfort
The soft, breathable belt can be fastened at the front or at the back. This means caregivers can apply the product from the back, which provides more dignity for residents.

More features for greater care efficiency
More simplicity, less stress
The distinctive blue FingerLift tab combines with the white belt to clearly show where the belt opens. This helps get the product ready for application more quickly.
More grip, less slip
Wide, adjustable hooks can be fastened and re-fastened as many times as necessary without losing grip properties. Easy to grip, even when wearing gloves.
More gain, less strain
The belt can be fastened at the front or at the back on the resident. This flexibility makes it easier to apply and change whether the resident is lying down, sitting or standing.
