Summary

When absorbent hygiene products-such as panty liners, sanitary pads, incontinence products, or wound care items-are used over extended periods, they can sometimes have negative effects on the skin. The aim of the current study is to investigate the best way to measure the amount of cytokines on the skin through a non-invasive method.

Cytokines are small proteins that act as signaling molecules in the immune system and regulate inflammation and the body's response to infections. Because inflammatory markers often appear in very low concentrations in skin surface samples, it is essential to optimize both collection and extraction methods to overcome this limitation.

The researchers want to evaluate different sampling and extraction techniques to measure the skin's inflammatory response. The effectiveness assessment involves determining how well these methods can detect and analyze inflammatory markers. This includes ensuring the sampling methods are non-invasive yet sensitive enough to detect subtle changes in skin inflammation. Furthermore, the extraction methods must efficiently isolate relevant biomarkers to provide reliable data on the skin's response to the products.
