Ultrasorbs ES Extra-Strong Breathable Drypad

Medline’s Ultrasorbs ES Extra-Strong Breathable Drypad gives the end user an air-permeable and superabsorbent disposable sheet that allows for effective moisture management and is ideal for repositioning individuals weighing up to 170 kg.

This drypad helps enhance patient comfort by way of high-performing, superabsorbent polymers that lock in moisture and odour. It facilitates fluid absorption by incorporating a superabsorbent core sheet, ensuring the patient’s skin is kept dry.

Our Ultrasorbs are particularly useful in high-dependency wards—like the ICU where caring for patients is difficult due to their fragile condition. Ultrasorbs unique, breathable technology was developed to promote better moisture management and help prevent moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) in the most challenging of care settings, especially for heavier patients.
