My father has a wound that is taking a while to heal, and his urinary incontinence is making things more complicated. He spends most of the day in bed, and I’m worried that keeping the area clean and dry is becoming harder. We’re already doing the wound care recommended by his doctor, but I’d like to make the incontinence part easier too. Any suggestions?

I’d definitely focus on keeping urine away from the damaged skin as much as possible. When someone is mostly in bed, the right product can make changes easier without constantly moving them around. There are some options specifically designed with wound care in mind. I’d look into male incontinence care for wound care professionals and discuss the most suitable option with his care team. Protecting the surrounding skin is especially important while the wound is healing.
