Management of urinary incontinence. A new absorbent bed sheet

D M Prinsley et al. Med J Aust. .

Abstract

A new, highly absorbent bed sheet (Kylie sheet) was evaluated against cotton drawsheets in the management of incontinence of urine in a crossover study of 19 male and female geriatric patients. When the new Kylie sheets were in use, there was a significant decrease in skin wetness, in disturbance of patients, in nursing workload, and in laundry costs. There were no adverse effects.
