TouchDRY^® Breathable Absorbent Pads are white, soft flat sheets with an absorbent layer and waterproof yet breathable underside - thicker and more absorbent than standard TouchDRY for maternity or bariatric applications.

TouchDRY PLUS is the most absorbent pad in the TouchDRY range, capable of absorbing over 5 litres of fluid. Designed to absorb the thicker fluids prevalent in birthing suites, it is ideal for use in maternity wards - before, during, and after birth.

How does it benefit your Obstetrics department and staff?

• High fluid handling capacity of TouchDRY® Plus – 8.1 litres m2 / 24h (AWTA 62) - reduce spills. Each pad absorbs over 5L of fluid.
• Economic impact – alleviates strikethrough, protecting equipment and reducing the need for linen changes.
• Always available for staff - no waiting for laundry.
• Compatible with all pressure redistribution surfaces - assisting underlying micro-climate therapies.
• Maintains structural integrity when saturated

How does TouchDRY PLUS benefit expecting mothers?

• Breathability - TouchDRY is 20 times more breathable than Pinkies or Blueys and 13 times more breathable than Depend bed pads (AWTA product test - ASTM E96-2012).
• Keeps patients dry - TouchDRY helps manage moisture and preserve the skin microclimate, reducing the risk of moisture-related skin damage - crucial for the preservation of skin integrity (refer to independent report and testing for more information).
• Soft on skin - Designed to be flat, soft and used in direct contact with skin. Ideal for absorbing leakage during wound care and surgical procedures, nursing patients with leg ulcers, lymphedema, pressure injuries and other open wounds.
• Odour reduction - The highly absorbent polymers encapsulated in TouchDRY’s core help to reduce unpleasant odours.
• No added pressure - An independent pressure study proved that there was no additional pressure load on a patient’s skin when using TouchDRY. Tests were conducted at 25kg, 50kg and 100kg. Contact us for a full copy of the report.
