DEPEND®

Belted Shields with Tabbed Straps

DEPEND Belted Shields are specially designed to provide superior protection and a comfortable fit for moderate to heavy bladder control problems. EasyFit adjustable strap tabs by VELCRO USA Inc. make DEPEND Belted Shields easy to put on with or without clothing - whether a person is standing, sitting or lying down.

IMPORTANT TIPS
  • Straps are individually wrapped and are located inside the belted shield package in the blue pouch.
  • Clean the groin and buttocks thoroughly after removing a belted shield.
  • Dispose of soiled briefs in a sanitary manner. Do not flush.
  • Wash hands after handling soiled briefs.
  • Seek professional advice from your physician or health care professional if you or someone you care for is experiencing bladder control problems.
To Put Them On While Lying Down

STEP 1
Identify the inside and outside of the product.

  • The inside (side placed against the skin) has a white absorbent layer.
  • The outside of the belted shield has a white moisture-proof outer cover.

STEP 2
Identify the front and back of the product.

  • The front of the belted shield has two angled patches of fuzzy green fabric on the outside of the top of the belted shield.
  • The back of the belted shield also has two patches of the same fuzzy green fabric, but attached squarely to the top of the belted shield.

STEP 3
Attach the elastic straps to the back of the belted shield by pressing the hook & loop tabs onto the fuzzy green fabric patches.

STEP 4
Move the person onto his or her side.

STEP 5
Place the inside of the belted shield (the white absorbent layer) against the buttocks. Align the end with the elastic straps with the person's back waistline.

STEP 6
While holding the belted shield in place, roll the person onto his or her back, so they are centered on top of the belted shield. Bring the front of the belted shield up between the legs. Make sure that the straps are not twisted and press the hook & loop tabs onto the fuzzy green fabric patches on the front.

STEP 7

  • Position for a close fit by pulling the elastic straps toward the waistline, making sure heights on the front and back of the belted shield are equal.
  • Elastic straps should be angled slightly upward, over the hips.
  • Make sure the straps are not twisted.
  • Move any folds of skin - especially on the inner thigh - to prevent leaking and chafing.
  • Save elastic straps for reuse. To clean elastic straps, hand wash in mild detergent and hang to dry. DEPEND Belted Shields with EasyFit adjustable strap tabs by VELCRO USA Inc. packages include two pairs of elastic straps.
  • Note for men: be sure that the penis is pointing down into the belted shield.
