Larger bariatric brief and male guard among new products
October 22, 2019
By: Tara Olivo
Associate Editor at Nonwovens Industry
Principle Business Enterprises (PBE), a manufacturer of superabsorbent products and footwear safety solutions, announced new product developments and improvements for its Tranquility product family. “People are struggling with incontinence care because they have different types of needs, ranging from unique body types to different levels of incontinence,” comments Andrew Stocking, president of PBE. “Our investments in product enhancements over the past year are the first of many consumer-based innovations planned to ensure our products remain best-in-class for the many types of people dealing with incontinence.” As the first incontinence manufacturer to introduce bariatric absorbent products (3XL+) to the market, and with the CDC citing that 40% of adults in the US are obese, PBE has launched the largest incontinence product on the market. Now fitting sizes 4-5XL, the Tranquility AIR-Plus Bariatric Brief serves wearers with a 70-inch to 108-inch waist. This brief features a 100% breathable cloth-like outer layer, stretchy side panels, micro-hook closure tabs, Kufguards (inner leg cuffs), and wetness indicators. PBE has also developed the Tranquility Male Guard to provide a discrete, in-underwear solution for men with moderate incontinence who need a superabsorbent solution. The guard features a cloth-like, moisture-proof backing with an adhesive strip, and a soft, absorbent core that quickly draws in fluid, reduces odor, and protects sensitive skin. PBE has also redesigned the Tranquility and Select Personal Care Pads for improved comfort and fit. Each brand features three levels of absorbency and is available in three different sizes. The new, contoured hourglass shapes conform to the body to prevent leakage, and the soft, absorbent cores quickly draw in fluid to keep skin dry and protected. PBE has also updated the packaging for both product lines with retail-ready designs, ideal for the Home Medical Equipment market to feature in stores.
