Support tools Besides incontinence products Abena offers a wide range of support tools in addition to Continence Management. Abri-Check Web is a software programme which provides valuable feedback following the keying in of information from user cards.

Abri-Check Web It makes financial sense to monitor the pad consumption closely, and that is why Abena has developed our Abri-Check-Web service.

¡¡ Abri-Check-Web provides a specific consumption overview both for each ward and for the whole institution.

¡¡ Abri-Check-Web is a simple user-friendly system.

Being web-based, the system is housed on a server at Abena, which means that all you require is access to the Internet and a Windows-compatible computer.

¡¡ Abena maintains all information on products

and prices. The individual ward only has to register consumption and enter the data into Abri-Check-Web.

¡¡ The data entered into the Abri-Check-Web offers the possibility of forecasting future consumption in a given period, which makes it easier and safer for the ward to prepare budgets and order goods.
