ABENA Nova
Changing the world of incontinence care
ABENA Nova gives caregivers real-time data on how wet the incontinence product is, helping ensure changes happen when needed -neither too early nor too late.
This reduces unnecessary checks and leakages, improving comfort and dignity for people with incontinence while easing the workload for care staff. It is continence care that is both smarter and more human.
A challenge in the healthcare sector
Incontinence is one of the biggest challenges in the healthcare sector. Continence care is time-consuming and physically demanding for healthcare professionals. In addition, for residents, incontinence may cause physical discomfort and a reduced quality of life.
This is why we offer ABENA Nova - to support caregivers and help improve quality of life for people living with incontinence.
What makes ABENA Nova unique?
ABENA Nova looks like a regular incontinence product but features an integrated sensor that continuously detects moisture inside the product.
Based on the level of saturation and the placement of moisture inside the product, the sensors notify caregivers that it is time for change through its monitor app. This gives caregivers real-time and actionable data for timely and personalized continence care.
