Description
This is the maker's tab-style brief with a plastic backing, the style people ask for when a clothlike product has not kept the bedding dry. It is built for a full night's wear.
Who it suits
The maker builds the core to extend over the hips, for front and back protection, which is the detail that matters to a side sleeper. The plastic backing is the maker's answer to a wet mattress, and the full-fit shape gives more surface to absorb into.
How it is used
Lay the brief out, place it under the hips, bring the front up and fasten the tapes, then refasten if the fit needs adjusting. The wetness indicator turns when the brief is wet, so a carer can see whether a change is needed without disturbing the person.
Sizes and pack counts
Five sizes, from X-Small/Youth at 22 to 30 in through to X-Large at 56 to 64 in. The maker packs 10 to a bag in the two smallest sizes and 12 in Medium, Large and X-Large. Its stated capacities rise with the size, from 18.5 oz (547 mL) to 34 oz (1005 mL).
Where it fits in the range
The rest of the continence supplies we stock sit under medical supplies, with the booster pads that can be added inside a brief; patient room products covers washable bed and chair protection. Funding may help: see who may help pay.
Small items ship across Canada; see the shipping policy, or visit our showrooms in Etobicoke and Brampton. For a care setting that buys by the case, contact us.
Hygienic items are not returnable once a pack is opened, and the return policy covers the rest.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the ATN brief hold?
The maker's figures are 18.5 oz (547 mL) for X-Small/Youth, 22.2 oz (657 mL) for Small, 27.5 oz (812 mL) for Medium, 33 oz (975 mL) for Large and 34 oz (1005 mL) for X-Large.
Is it plastic backed or clothlike?
Plastic backed. The maker describes the poly backing as the reason bedding stays dry, and pairs it with soft leg elastics to stop leaks.
Can it be opened and refastened?
Yes. The maker uses refastenable tapes, so the brief can be checked and closed again, and the wetness indicator shows when a change is due.
How many briefs come in a pack?
10 in X-Small/Youth and Small, and 12 in Medium, Large and X-Large. Tell us the size and we will confirm the stock and the price.
