Overview
Protective shorts are a device intended to provide a barrier against leakage and contamination. The device consists of a protective cover made from a thin layer of impermeable material, such as vinyl, aluminium, or latex, which prevents the escape of oily materials and secretions and protects the skin from contamination.
The protective shorts are supplied non-sterile and are intended for single use. They are designed for use in clinical or home settings to contain medication or secretions, particularly in the anal area, and are authorized under FDA 510(k) clearance K943948 with product code DXC.
