Ultrasorbs Air Permeable Drypad Underpads

AllegroMedical.com presents the Ultrasorbs Air Permeable Drypad Underpads by Medline. Skin Breakdown Is a Common, costly and painful problem. The Need For Protection is Real. As a caregiver, you encounter many different skin conditions. Among the most common are those caused by prolonged exposure to moisture: incontinence-associated dermatitis, intertriginous dermatitis or periwound moisture-associated dermatitis. Moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) negatively impacts the physical health of your patients and the financial health of your facility.

Unlike conventional underpads, our Ultrasorbs® and Extrasorbs® drypads feature advanced polymers that help ensure ongoing dryness of skin,13 help reduce friction and shear, allow air circulation and support low air-loss mattresses.

Ultrasorbs Features:

• Helps prevent skin breakdown with a moisture trapping film that protects against leaks, resulting in less frequent full bed linen changes
• Draws in moisture, locks it away from the skin and feels dry to the touch in just minutes
• Advanced super-absorbent core with high performing absorbent polymer lies flat when wet without bunching, swelling or disintegrating
• Protects bedding and permits air flow with air-permeable cloth-like backsheet, suitable for low air loss mattress therapy
• Tough and durable with strong backsheet built for Q2 turning, boosting and repositioning protocols for patients up to 300 lb.

Why use a conventional under pad when you can use Ultrasorbs drypads? Designed to hold moisture away from the skin, absorb leaks and reduce odor, no other incontinence pad compares.

What is the Importance of Air Permeability?
Many patients require the use of specialty support surfaces such as low air-loss mattresses. Using an air-permeable drypad such as Ultrasorbs or Extrasorbs helps maximize air circulation, drying the skin and reducing potential maceration from moisture buildup.
