INCONTINENCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND DIAPER

摘要

A diaper (20) for a person to wear, for use in an incontinence management system or a system for the management of exudates from the body of a person, has a sleeve (28) for the insertion of a diagnostic strip (30) adapted to detect relevant substances in urine or exudates. The sleeve (28) has a V-shaped notch (34) for ease of insertion of a diagnostic strip (30). Pores and channels (36) are provided on the sleeve (28) to facilitate the drawing in of urine from the diaper (20) to the sleeve (28) to contact the strip (30) and expose chemical sensors on the strip (30) to the collected urine. The sleeve (28) may be attachable to the diaper (20) by adhesive material (40).
