Incontinence defines the inability to control the elimination of urine or faeces and varies from minor "accidents" (wetting the linen) to the complete involuntary elimination of urine or faeces.

The skin of people with incontinence requires special care, because the aggressive substances in the urine/faeces they come in contact with, destroy the natural barrier function of the skin, leaving it vulnerable to irritations, infections, skin lesions.
Because, especially in the case of mattresses, the complete removal of urine is in many situations impossible, due to its penetration into the depth of the materials, it is recommended to prevent these "accidents" by using special products to protect the bed/bedding.
