TouchDRY Absorbent Pad with Wings 190cm x 90cm - White - Box/60

A new era in breathable bed pads TouchDRYBreathable Absorbent Pads are white, soft flat sheets with an absorbent layer and a waterproof breathable underside that stops fluid getting through to equipment below and wicks away moisture to protect the patients skin. Designed to be breathable and to manage climate control and preserve skin integrity. Three layers of protection Soft, non-woven air-permeable top layer is gentle on healthy skin as well as skin of the very young to the very old plus vulnerable and fragile skin during periods of illness The super absorbent inner layer allows body fluids to be taken away from the skin. The fluids are locked in the inner layer to keep skin dry The breathable, waterproof backing assists the containment of fluid for safe disposal Moisture management Preserving the microclimate, the TouchDRYis drier faster than traditional bed pads. Breathable backing 20 times more breathable than Blueys and Pinkies High level fluid handling capacity Absorbs 3.2 litres per m2 (AWTA 62) which assists the containment and safe disposal through control of fluids Reduce cleaning costs By protecting your air assisted patient transfer mats, theatre tables and equipment How does TouchDRYbenefit your clients Breathable bed pad - MVTR is a measure of breathability. Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate (MVTR) measures the passage of water vapour through a substance. The higher the MVTR rate the more breathable the product. TouchDRYis 425.5g / mxm / 24h / 23oC (See graph below) compared to 32.6 and 19.8 with other traditional bed pads. (Test method ASTM E96-2012). Keeps patient dry. Moisture management and preserving the microclimate of skin and reducing or eliminating the risk of moisture related skin damage is paramount in maintaining skin integrity (see attached independent report and testing) Soft on skin.
