About Lille Healthcare
Lille Healthcare is the French adult incontinence range Ontex acquired in 2011, comprising incontinence pads together with pants and adult diapers, and distributed mainly across Europe. It is aimed at institutional care — hospitals, nursing homes and home-care services — rather than at shoppers, which is the healthcare channel Ontex has spent several years narrowing its whole business towards while selling off its emerging-market consumer operations.
