Problems solved by technology

It has been found that because the manufacturers of these supplies use easily polluting and low-quality raw materials such as plastics, cellulose fibers, and non-woven fabrics treated and bleached with chemicals, these materials can cause vaginal-anal pH in contact with delicate skin The values ​​are out of balance, so after a few hours of use, the feminine pad may become contaminated (107 bacteria / cm2)

Also due to the same problem, i.e. skin pH imbalance caused by the use of bandages, abrasive cloths and dressings of the same quality standard as mentioned above, these and other kinds of pathogenic microorganisms may attack burns, abrasions, traumas, injuries, postoperative processes cavities, mucous membranes, and skin of similar sites
