Design award for Conveen Optima urisheath

Coloplast wins Janus de la Sante Award for the design of its Conveen^® Optima.

 

The Conveen^® Optima urisheath has received the Janus de la Sante Award from the French Institute of Design. The French Institute of Design awards prizes for the most creative and innovative achievements in product design, environmental design, health, packaging and communications. Approximately one thousand prizes have been awarded over the past fifty years.

More than 700,000 men in France experience some form of urinary leakage and suffer the risk and embarrassment of involuntary urine loss. With Conveen^® Optima these men will be able to live a normal life among colleagues and family without being afraid of sudden leakages, preventing the social isolation that often follows with untreated urinary incontinence.

Conveen^® Optima sets a new standard in urisheaths for males suffering from urinary incontinence. The new Conveen^® Optima provides both users and healthcare professionals a unique, innovative and easy to use solution.

Conveen^® Optima is made from medical grade silicone so is stretchy and breathable and allows for a perfect fit. The anti-leak system, balanced adhesive and the secure connection to a leg bag ensure maximum security.

Due to the Smart Pack packaging, the retail box is 75% smaller than conventional retail boxes, substantially reducing storage and transport space. The box is very discreet, clicks open easily and is designed to protect the urisheath in any situation. It is small and thin, yet strong enough to hold the compressed urisheath inside. After opening, the urisheath is ready to use and easily removed from the Smart Pack. The unique double strip grip ensures a secure roll out for both users, including those with reduced hand dexterity, and healthcare professionals wearing gloves.

A clinical study conducted by Coloplast shows that 67 per cent of participants preferred Conveen^® Optima, as it is easier to apply, also when wearing gloves, as they do not stick to the urisheath when using the double strip grip, it is comfortable to wear and the Smart Pack is very convenient in any situation.

Conveen^® Optima is an excellent example of Coloplast developing a new product listening carefully to the needs of users and healthcare professionals. These needs have been translated into the ingenious features of Conveen^® Optima, making life easier for our customers.

The Janus Award Ceremony will be held on 28 September at the Sénat in Paris. The French Minister Christine Lagarde will chair the event.
