A drypad used on a low air loss mattress has to let air through. Medline Ultrasorbs AP Drypads do that: the backsheet is waterproof but air permeable, so the pressure care surface underneath keeps doing its job.
The core is a super absorbent polymer that pulls moisture off the skin and locks it away, and the top layer is soft enough to cut friction and shear when the client is repositioned. Five sizes are made, from a small pad through to full bed width coverage, and the pads are not made with natural rubber latex.
They are the right choice for a client with incontinence who is nursed on a pressure mattress, or anyone whose skin integrity depends on staying dry with minimal drag across the surface.
Good to know
- Sold by the box; box quantity varies by size, ask us when ordering
- Do not use for lifting or repositioning unless the pad is rated for it
- Choose the 760 or 790 x 910 mm size for full bed width coverage
