Importance of Air Permeability in total dry pads

Many patients require the use of specialty support surfaces such as low air-loss mattresses. Using an air-permeable drypad such as Ultrasorbs AP Disposable Underpad helps maximize air circulation, drying the skin and reducing potential maceration from moisture buildup.

Benefits to Patient and Resident

• Super absorbent core draws in moisture and locks it away from skin
• Maintains core integrity, reducing friction and shear
• Ultra-soft, non-woven topsheet for greater patient comfort
• Air-permeable backsheet for exceptional skin dryness with zero strike through
• Micro-pore film protects against leakage for fewer linen changes without double-padding

Comparison between Conventional And Ultrasorb Pads

Conventional Underpads

• Shield linens and furniture from fluids, but may hold moisture against skin
• Require frequent changing, adding to caregiver workload and laundry costs
• Linen changes are disruptive to ICU/CCU patients who should not be moved more than necessary
• Layering pads for added absorbency increases the sacral pressure
• May ball up or adhere to skin, putting patient at risk for friction and skin shear
• Offer minimal odor control
• Standard disposable pads are less air permeable, preventing heat from escaping
• Wetness, leakage, and odor may cause patients discomfort and threaten their dignity

Ultrasorbs Disposable Drypads

• Draw in moisture, lock it away from the skin, and feel dry to the touch within minutes
• Can manage multiple voids without leaking, minimizing laundry costs
• Do not separate, bunch up or adhere to skin when wet, helping reduce friction and shear
• Offer a soft and low-profile, helping reduce pressure buildup beneath patient body
• Are air permeable for enhanced skin dryness and comfort
• Are effective for use with low air-loss mattresses
• Help improve staff efficiency and reduce laundry costs
• Help enhance patient comfort and preserve patient dignity

 

10-Minute Test for Dryness:

The ability of a drypad to withstand multiple insults is determined using the “rewet” test. The test is done by pouring 500 milliliters of water onto a dry pad, waiting 10 minutes, and then measuring how much water returns to the surface. The lower the number, the drier against the patient skin.
