The benefits of TRIPLE LAYER LOCK™ technology
Here at Vivactive, we’re at the forefront of emerging technological improvements to incontinence products. Our experts are always working away to source the very best wearable incontinence items, with the newest innovations, to keep you dry and confident. That’s where TRIPLE LAYER LOCK ™ technology comes in. But, what exactly is it?
Three layers sit inside the pad, working together to create rapid absorption. Due to its versatile nature, we can use TRIPLE LAYER LOCK technology ™ in a range of wearable incontinence products. Our range of large-shaped pads, disposable pants and adult nappies all feature this superb bit of tech. The rapid absorption capability means urine is sucked away, keeping your skin totally dry. By reducing the amount of time your skin is in contact with urine, you’ll find that you’re less likely to experience any irritation or skin problems.
Let’s take a closer look
So, we’ve talked a bit about what it does overall, but let’s have a closer look at what each component does. As we mentioned, there are three layers that work together to rapidly absorb liquid:
Layer 1:
The first layer is a comfortable top sheet. Once it comes into contact with urine, the liquid is dispersed across the sheet, so that it can be absorbed quickly. Liquids can be absorbed much faster when spread out across the surface area. This stops any urine from pooling in one area, where it might take a long time to absorb.
Layer 2:
Inside the second layer are highly absorbent fluff fibres that grab onto any urine that they come into contact with. Once the urine has been picked up, it’s then channelled down into the pad’s core. We only use virgin fluff fibres from sustainably managed forests, which are PEFC Certified. We take skin health seriously, which is why they don’t contain any ‘nasties’ like chlorine or extra additives.
Layer 3:
Once the urine hits the third layer, superabsorbent molecules inside the core absorb and lock it in, turning the urine into a gel. This process happens very quickly. Once the urine is absorbed and turned into a gel, you won’t be experiencing any leaks. During the absorption process, any unpleasant odours are neutralised, so no unwanted smells will be leaking out. Nobody wants to smell like urine, right?
Now that we know how it all works, let’s take a look at some products that are utilising this fantastic bit of tech!
