OPTOMED GROUP – Practical Aids for Babies and Parents
OPTOMED GROUP brings together practical aids for babies and parents designed for situations where ease of use, hygiene and precision are especially important. The range available at ApotekaOnline focuses particularly on products that help with urine sample collection in babies and administration of liquid preparations – everyday procedures that can be challenging when caring for very young children.
Key products include PineMed diapers with an integrated urine collection bag, designed to simplify urine sample collection in infants, as well as the Dr Gym syrup applicator, a practical aid for more controlled administration of liquid preparations to babies. The right choice depends primarily on the baby's age and body weight, the purpose for which the product is needed and the instructions given by a pediatrician, laboratory or pharmacist.
How to choose the right OPTOMED GROUP product for your baby?
These products are selected according to a specific practical need. For urine sample collection, the appropriate PineMed diaper size should be chosen according to the baby's body weight. The Dr Gym applicator can be useful when a precisely determined quantity of syrup or another suitable liquid preparation needs to be administered.

|---|---|---|
| Urine sample collection in babies up to 5 kg | PineMed diapers with urine collection bag 0–5 kg, 2 pcs | A practical aid for hygienic urine sample collection in very young babies. |

| Administration of syrups and other liquid preparations | Dr Gym syrup applicator for babies | Helps parents administer a previously determined amount of liquid preparation more easily. |
PineMed – easier urine sample collection in babies
Collecting urine from infants can be difficult because a baby cannot consciously control urination, while the sample still needs to be collected as practically and hygienically as possible. PineMed is designed for this situation as a diaper with a urine collection system, helping parents avoid the need to predict the exact moment of urination or hold a standard collection container in place.
Different sizes are available at ApotekaOnline according to the baby's body weight. For the smallest babies, there is the PineMed diaper 0–5 kg, while babies weighing 5 to 11 kg can use the PineMed diaper 5–11 kg. Choosing the correct size is important so the product fits properly and is used as intended.
Dr Gym – when a baby needs a liquid preparation
Giving syrup to a baby may be more difficult than it seems. A child may turn their head, reject a spoon or spit out part of the liquid, making administration harder to control. The Dr Gym syrup applicator for babies is designed to make the administration of liquid preparations easier and can be a practical alternative to a standard spoon.
It is important to distinguish between accurate administration and determining the dose itself. The applicator may help administer a previously determined quantity, but the dose of a medicine or other preparation should always follow the product instructions and the recommendation of a pediatrician or pharmacist.
Pharmacist's advice
When collecting a urine sample from a baby for laboratory testing, follow the instructions provided by the pediatrician or laboratory regarding collection, storage and the time within which the sample should be delivered. The appropriate collection method may depend on the type of analysis being performed, so a home collection aid should not automatically be considered suitable for every microbiological test.
When administering syrups or other liquid preparations, do not determine the dose based on the size of the applicator. The dose is determined by the product instructions, doctor or pharmacist and may depend on the child's age and body weight. If the child vomits or spits out part of a medicine, do not automatically repeat the full dose without professional advice.
