Absorbent Pads

Pads made of various materials used for personal hygiene usually for absorbing URINE or FECES. They can be worn as underpants or pants liners by various age groups, from NEWBORNS to the ELDERLY. Absorbent pads can be made of fluff wood pulp and HYDROGEL absorbent covered with viscose rayon, polyester, polypropylene, or POLYETHYLENE coverstock.

"
2.	Catheter-Related Infections 11/01/2014 - "The risk of catheter-associated infections may be eliminated while maintaining ability to measure urinary output of incontinent patients through the use of a highly absorbent pad and weighing postincontinence. "
3.	Pressure Ulcer (Bedsore) 12/01/2017 - "Facility staff were trained on the importance of differentiating between IAD and pressure injury; they substituted the study product (a disposable, high- uid capacity underpad) for all previously used containment products. " 08/01/2013 - "Additional studies to examine the effect of linens and underpads as well as microclimate management strategies on pressure ulcer risk are needed. " 08/01/2013 - "The results of this study suggest that putting additional linens or underpads on LAL surfaces may adversely affect skin temperature and moisture, thereby reducing the pressure ulcer prevention potential of these surfaces. " 01/01/2006 - "The results of these studies provide a scientific basis for selecting and purchasing an underpad to prevent pressure ulcers in patients. " 01/01/2006 - "The purpose of this study was to determine the performance of three commercially available underpads in reducing the development of pressure sores in patients at high risk. "
4.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 04/01/2013 - "In this study, a non-adhesive wound dressing which applies to cover the wound surface as an absorbent pad that would absorb wound fluid while accelerate wound healing was developed. " 05/01/2016 - "In the control group, absorbent pads were packed on the wound, and pressure was supplied by a weight placed over the dressing. " 08/01/2011 - "A 10-cm(2) artificial wound bed, created using a nonstick absorbent pad, was applied to the lower back of 24 healthy volunteers and the tip of a 23-gauge catheter was inserted into the pad to administer AWF. " 09/01/2014 - "Traditional wound dressings, including cotton gauze, absorbent pads and bandages, can cause trauma and pain to wounds during dressing changes, leading to a variety of physical and psychosocial sequelae. " 01/27/1993 - "Dressing a wound with paraffin tulle necessitates the use of a secondary dressing which, in common practice, is almost always an absorbent pad or gauze. "
5.	Hemorrhage 05/01/2016 - "In the study group, chitosan linear polymer was poured onto the bleeding site; absorbent pads and pressure were applied in the same manner. " 06/01/2014 - "Exudate and bleeding were generally controlled with hemostatic dressings, calcium alginate dressings, or absorbent pads. "
