Unique Wellness Brings NASA Technology to Senior Care with Its Advanced Briefs
BROOKLYN, NY, UNITED STATES, July 7, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- When astronauts travel to space, even the most basic bodily functions require innovative solutions. NASA's answer to managing hygiene during long missions was the Maximum Absorbency Garment (MAG)—a high-capacity, multi-layered brief designed to keep astronauts dry and safe during spacewalks. Now, that same engineering excellence is helping transform incontinence care for millions of older adults through Unique Wellness, a U.S.-based healthcare brand committed to bringing space-age innovation to everyday life.
At the core of Unique Wellness' award-winning product line—Wellness Briefs, Pull-Ups, and Underpads—is its proprietary InconTek® technology, inspired by the MAGs and used by NASA. This multi-layered core system is designed to absorb up to 87 ounces of liquid, reducing leaks, preventing skin breakdown, and significantly lowering the number of daily changes required.
With this innovation, Unique Wellness is redefining what it means to provide effective, dignified incontinence care. As the global elderly population continues to rise and more than 25 million Americans live with incontinence, the demand for premium hygiene products has grown rapidly.
For seniors, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, Unique Wellness offers a solution that combines performance with compassion.
Wellness Briefs: Designed with maximum absorbency in mind, these briefs minimize overnight changes, eliminate common issues such as leakage and foul odor and are suitable for both mobile and bedridden users. Wellness Briefs feature a 3-per-day change system to reduce up to 70 percent in product use over regular brands, which also saves a lot of time, cost, and laundry.
Wellness Pull-Ups: These provide the same advanced absorption in a more flexible, underwear-style design. For active seniors seeking discretion, comfort, and mobility, Wellness Pull-Ups are the perfect option. Whether running errands or relaxing at home, users experience the confidence of leak-free protection.
Wellness Underpads: Meant to be used on beds, chairs, and wheelchairs, these protective pads provide another level of protection. Their absorbent core and soft, breathable materials help maintain cleanliness and skin health in both clinical and home settings.
Wellness Brief® Softistico™ Pack: The latest in the Unique Wellness offering of incontinence care range, the Softistico ™ Pack is a luxury solution, elevating comfort and performance. The Softistico ™ is developed with extra-soft, breathable materials, facilitating all-day wear to deliver maximum comfort for sensitive skin. It is also the first-ever breathable adult diaper with secure tape tabs (not Velcro) and a resealable landing zone, allowing for easy adjustments and a custom fit.
Conventional incontinence products often require 6-8 changes daily, resulting in caregiver burnout, higher expenses, and user discomfort. InconTek® changes the equation. Its layered core system draws liquid away from the skin and traps it deep inside the brief, keeping users dry for up to 8 hours. This innovation not only boosts comfort but also supports skin integrity by reducing exposure to moisture and bacteria.
Combined with advanced odor control, the technology ensures users remain comfortable, confident, and dignified throughout the day and night. Whether in a hospital, long-term care facility, or private home, Wellness products provide a dependable, high-performance solution that prioritizes both user health and caregiver efficiency.
Unique Wellness designs its products with both clinical professionals and family caregivers in mind. Reduced changes mean fewer interruptions, better sleep, and more time for care.
'The only product that lets my dad sleep through the night without interruption.'
— Caregiver, Illinois
'I've tried many brands. Nothing compares to the absorbency and comfort of Wellness Briefs.'

Stanford scientists 'totally surprised' by potential Parkinson's treatment discovery
A recent study from Stanford Medicine that "totally surprised" researchers highlighted what could be a promising approach to slowing Parkinson's disease progression. The research, published in the journal Science Signaling, took a closer look at enzymes — proteins in the body that speed up chemical reactions and are essential for digestion, liver function and other key functions, according to Cleveland Clinic — and their role in Parkinson's. The team found that targeting a certain enzyme helped to restore neuron and cell communication in mice. Lead author Suzanne Pfeffer, PhD, the Emma Pfeiffer Merner Professor in Medical Sciences and a professor of biochemistry at Stanford, told Fox News Digital that the team was "totally surprised that we saw as much improvement as we did." In about 25% of Parkinson's cases, the culprit is some form of genetic mutation. One of the most common mutations creates an overactive enzyme called LRRK2, according to a Stanford press release. When there is too much LRRK2 activity, it changes the structure of the brain cells, disrupting important communication between neurons and cells. This system is crucial to movement, motivation and decision-making, according to the researchers. The goal of the study was to determine whether a specific molecule — the MLi-2 LRRK2 kinase inhibitor — could reverse the effect of overactive enzymes. Using mice that had the genetic mutation that causes overactive LRRK2 and also had symptoms consistent with early Parkinson's disease, the scientists tried feeding them the inhibitor for two weeks. There were initially no changes detected in brain structure, signaling or function of the dopamine neurons. However, after three months of eating the inhibitor, mice affected by the overactive enzyme appeared to have restored their neurons to the point where they were virtually the same as those without the genetic mutation, the study found. "Findings from this study suggest that inhibiting the LRRK2 enzyme could stabilize the progression of symptoms if patients can be identified early enough," Pfeffer said in the press release. The study did have some limitations, the researchers acknowledged. "This was in mice, not people, but our current results indicate that similar pathways are important in humans," Pfeffer told Fox News Digital. While the study focused on a specific genetic form of the disease, overactive LRRK2 is also present in other cases, meaning this treatment could help multiple types of Parkinson's patients and possibly those with other neurodegenerative diseases, the reseachers claimed. Looking ahead, the team plans to investigate whether other forms of Parkinson's could benefit. Parkinson's — a disease that involves the slow death of dopamine-producing neurons, leading to symptoms like tremors and stiffness — affects nearly one million Americans, according to the Parkinson's Foundation, which has offices in New York and Miami. Experts agree that early intervention is key, as Parkinson's symptoms often appear years after the disease begins. "These findings suggest that it might be possible to improve, not just stabilize, the condition of patients with Parkinson's disease." Identifying and treating at-risk individuals sooner could potentially halt or reverse neuron loss. "These findings suggest that it might be possible to improve, not just stabilize, the condition of patients with Parkinson's disease," Pfeffer said.

The study was funded by The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, the Aligning Science Across Parkinson's initiative and the United Kingdom Medical Research Council.

RFK Jr. promoted a food company he says will make Americans healthy. Their meals are ultraprocessed
WASHINGTON (AP) — Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday praised a company that makes $7-a-pop meals that are delivered directly to the homes of Medicaid and Medicare enrollees. He even thanked Mom's Meals for sending taxpayer-funded meals 'without additives" to the homes of sick or elderly Americans. The spreads include chicken bacon ranch pasta for dinner and French toast sticks with fruit or ham patties. 'This is really one of the solutions for making our country healthy again,' Kennedy said in the video, posted to his official health secretary account, after he toured the company's Oklahoma facility last week. But an Associated Press review of Mom's Meals menu, including the ingredients and nutrition labels, shows that the company's offerings are the type of heat-and-eat, ultraprocessed foods that Kennedy routinely criticizes for making people sick. The meals contain chemical additives that would render them impossible to recreate at home in your kitchen, said Marion Nestle, a nutritionist at New York University and food policy expert, who reviewed the menu for The AP. Many menu items are high in sodium, and some are high in sugar or saturated fats, she said. 'It is perfectly possible to make meals like this with real foods and no ultra-processing additives but every one of the meals I looked at is loaded with such additives,' Nestle said. 'What's so sad is that they don't have to be this way. Other companies are able to produce much better products, but of course they cost more.' Mom's Meals do not have the artificial, petroleum dyes that Kennedy has pressured companies to remove from products, she noted. Mom's Meals said in an emailed response that its food products 'do not include ingredients that are commonly found in ultra-processed foods.' The company does not use synthetic food dyes, high fructose corn syrup, certain sweeteners or synthetic preservatives that are banned in Europe, said Teresa Roof, a company spokeswoman. The meals are a 'healthy alternative' to what many people would find in their grocery stores, said Andrew Nixon, U.S. Health and Human Services spokesman, in response to questions about Mom's Meals. Mom's Meals is one of several companies across the U.S. that deliver 'medically tailored' at-home meals. The meal programs are covered by Medicaid for some enrollees, including people who are sick with cancer or diabetes, as well as some older Americans who are enrolled in certain Medicare health insurance plans. Patients recently discharged from the hospital can also have the meals delivered, according to the company's website. It's unclear how much federal taxpayers spend on providing meals through Medicaid and Medicare every year. An investigation by STAT news last year found that some states were spending millions of dollars to provide medically tailored meals to Medicaid enrollees that were marketed as healthy and 'dietician approved." But many companies served up meals loaded with salt, fat or sugar — all staples of an unhealthy American's diet, the report concluded. Defining ultraprocessed foods can be tricky. Most U.S. foods are processed, whether it's by freezing, grinding, fermentation, pasteurization or other means. Foods created through industrial processes and with ingredients such as additives, colors and preservatives that you couldn't duplicate in a home kitchen are considered the most processed. Kennedy has said healthier U.S. diets are key to his vision to 'Make America Healthy Again.' His call for Americans to increase whole foods in their diets has helped Kennedy build his unique coalition of Trump loyalists and suburban moms who have branded themselves as 'MAHA." In a recent social media post where he criticized the vast amount of ultraprocessed foods in American diets, Kennedy urged Americans to make healthier choices. 'This country has lost the most basic of all freedoms — the freedom that comes from being healthy," Kennedy said. — Aleccia reported from Temecula, Calif.
