Incontinence (spontaneous leakage of urine or stool) is a disease closely related to patients' quality of life as it excludes patients from a lot of social, work, and personal activities. A long-term overlooking of this problem causes discomfort to patients and can also lead to physical and mental invalidity. This article aims to present the basic types of absorbent medical devices that can be provided to patients with urinary/faecal incontinence, with a particular focus on the proper handling and use of these devices.

Keywords: incontinence, absorbent devices, liners, insert pads, pads, medical devices.
