About the Patient protective equipment and incontinence aids category
Patient protective equipment and incontinence aids group two everyday needs: protective items used in care settings and the incontinence products that support patient dignity and skin health — pads, liners, protective sheeting and related aids. The EMDN label explicitly carves out personal protective equipment (PPE), which is regulated separately, so this branch stays focused on patient-side protection. These are high-volume, recurring-consumption products common in elderly and long-term care.
Common questions
What does EMDN category T contain?
It contains incontinence aids such as pads, liners and protective sheeting, together with patient protective items used in care — but, as the label notes, it excludes personal protective equipment (PPE), which falls under separate rules.
Why does the category exclude PPE?
Personal protective equipment that protects the wearer (such as staff masks and gowns) is governed by the EU PPE Regulation rather than the medical-device rules, so EMDN keeps it out of category T to avoid overlap with that separate framework.
