Improving comfort, time and budget management in continence care

Ontex developed the absorbent products, electronic devices, front-end and back-end software. The company reached out to Achilles Design to benefit from our professional services on the mechanical design for the Orizon clip-ons as well as the charging stations taking into account certain requirements:

• Cleanability: The devices need to be easy to clean, free from dirt traps and waterproof (IP65).
• ISO-13485: The devices are developed to fulfil this quality standard.
• Easy to use: The clip-ons need to be easy to handle by the caregivers but difficult to remove by the patients. They also need to be comfortable to wear on the absorbent products.
• Good interconnection to the interface of the printed sensor: The attachment needs to be secure and must ensure good connection throughout the use time of the absorbent product.
• User friendly feedback by the clip-on device: The clip-on ensures useful information through an integrated display and with good visibility of the LED light.
• Mind the budget: The clip-ons should be reusable, robust and consist of limited materials and parts to maintain the budget.
