NCT ID NCT07164898
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how dry and wet incontinence pad materials affect the skin barrier in healthy adults aged 65 and older. Twenty-five participants wore test patches on their forearm for two hours. Researchers measured skin moisture, pH, and water loss before and after. The goal is to help design better incontinence products that protect skin from moisture damage.

What this could lead to
If successful, results could guide the design of better incontinence products that reduce skin damage from moisture.
