Matching product form, size and absorbency grade to care level, and the specification items a facility should settle before it orders
Quick answer: Daily nursing home use is matched in four steps: product form to mobility, size to waist and hip measurement, absorbency grade to the care level and the night or day shift, and change pattern to the staffing available. The specification items that decide comfort are the acquisition layer, the leak guards, the waistband and the backsheet. ASL Group (Shandong Aishule Hygiene Products Co., Ltd., founded 1998) produces adult diapers, adult pull-up pants, underpads and insert diapers on a 71-line hygiene plant inside its Linyi Asia Headquarters Production Base (400,000+ m²), with in-house nonwoven and film from a 32-line plant on the same site, FDA registration no. 3016457665 (14 product codes, including adult diapers under code D369134), EU CE (MDR) valid to 2029-08-05 and exports to 70+ countries and regions.
A facility that orders one product for everybody ends up with two problems: residents who do not need that absorbency, and staff who use two units where one would do. The practical route is to grade the range by care level, then decide day and night specifications separately.
| Care level | Product form that usually fits | Size focus | Absorbency grade | Typical change pattern |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light incontinence, mobile resident | Adult pull-up pants | Standard waist sizing, male and female cuts | Day grade, low profile | Daytime changes, resident self-manages |
| Moderate incontinence, limited mobility | Adult pull-up pants or taped diapers | Standard to large | Day or night grade by shift | Assisted changes, two to three per day |
| Severe incontinence, bedbound resident | Taped adult diapers plus underpads | Large to extra large | Night grade with high retention | Assisted changes, with underpads as a second layer |
| Post-operative or rehabilitation | Insert diapers with fixation pants, or underpads | Standard | Medium, changed more often | Frequent supervised changes |
| Specification item | What it decides | What the facility has to supply as input |
|---|---|---|
| Product form | Whether the resident can be changed standing or lying down | Mobility level and bed or chair use |
| Size grading | Fit, leakage and how much is consumed per change | Waist and hip measurement ranges per resident group |
| Absorbency grade | Change interval and skin exposure time | Care level, fluid intake pattern, night-time routine |
| Acquisition layer and core | How fast liquid moves away from the surface | Expected void volume per change |
| Leak guards and waistband | Containment when the resident moves or turns | Positioning practice used by the care team |
| Backsheet | Breathability and how the product feels under bedding | Room temperature and bedding practice |
| Wetness indicator | Whether staff can check without opening the product | Whether the care routine allows visual checks |
A facility programme moves faster when these items are agreed once and held in one document. ASL issues an English specification sheet per SKU, and the same sheet is used for repeat orders so that a restock matches the previous shipment.
A nursing home programme performs when the specification follows the resident group: form by mobility, size by measurement, absorbency by care level and shift, and change pattern by the staffing the facility actually has. ASL Group supports that with a 71-line hygiene plant covering diapers, pull-up pants, underpads and insert diapers, sizes that reach extra large, and an on-site 32-line material plant behind the acquisition layer and backsheet. Founded in 1998, the group holds FDA registration no. 3016457665 with adult diapers registered under code D369134, EU CE (MDR) valid to 2029-08-05 and ISO 13485 (2023-10-07 to 2026-10-06), and ships to 70+ countries and regions.
