Extrasorbs AP Breathable Drypads

Medline’s Extrasorbs AP Breathable Drypads facilitate effective moisture management when a large amount of bodily fluids is expected. Each superior and disposable sheet was designed and developed to help prevent moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) in the most challenging of care settings.

These breathable and unique drypads are particularly useful in high-dependency wards like the ICU, where caring for patients is difficult due to their fragile condition. It helps enhance patient comfort, thanks to its high-performing, air-laid core with superabsorbent polymers that lock in moisture and odour, thereby keeping patients’ skin dry.

Extrasorbs AP Breathable Drypads provide extensive benefits to:

Patients:

Reduces the risk of separating, bunching or clinging to skin when wet; feels dry to the touch within minutes

Reduces friction and shear while maintaining its core integrity

Provides greater comfort, as a result of an ultra-soft, non-woven top sheet

Helps reduce heat build-up, thereby maintaining an optimal micro-environment via its air-permeable back sheet; promotes exceptional skin dryness with zero strikethrough.

Caregivers:

Helps prevent fluid overflow by way of exclusive fold-over edges

Compatibility with low-air-loss mattresses and pressure-elevated beds

Supports the repositioning of heavier patients, up to 150 kg (only large size Extrasorbs).

For more adaptability to your needs, our Extrasorbs AP Drypads are available in three sizes with dimensions of 61 x 91 cm, 76 x 91 cm, and 210 x 80 cm (unique sizing that allows your staff to reposition patients weighing up to 150 kg).
