SCA extends personal care product range
Through the acquisition of two health care companies – Dutch JoyinCare BV that was acquired during the summer and Swiss Medical Solution AG, acquired on September 3 – two new products are added to Tena’s product range.The self-test for urinary tract infections can replace a demanding and time consuming urine sampling routine, and the product can easily be part of already existing routines.“The test is simply placed into and taken out of the pad with usual diaper change. It’s a user friendly solution with quick results”, said Margareta Lehmann, SCA's President Incontinence Care Europe.The second product, the wet glove, has raised a lot of interest on the Dutch market. The routines developed in the Netherlands to wash patients with impregnated disposable wash gloves are very successful. Some 25 percent of all Dutch acute and long term care institutions are using wet gloves. The Dutch Ministry of Health has promoted these washing routines since they contribute to saving time and improving care.
