Why DriPADs Beat Out Chux? • 10 to 15 chux = One DriPAD • That makes DriPADs less expensive to use. • Many times more absorbent. • DriPADs don’t drip. • Chux make 10 to 15 times more landfill. • Only DriPADs have a sticky back • Chux slip around. • Chux bunch up under patients. • Only DriPADs have an anti-microbial. • Only DriPADs have a 9x9 size. • Only DriPADs have a fast uptake fabric. • DriPADs are Made in the USA!

ER Procedures • Irrigating and debriding wounds • The saline solution is captured at the source. • Kept off of equipment, floor, and the clinician. • Clean up spills in a busy ER • Buckets /mops are impractical and dangerous. • Keep the patient’s sheets dry • Manage incontinence and bleeding.
ICU / Burn Procedures • Wound debridment / dressing changes • Bed sheets do not need to be changed. • Patients do not need to be moved. • All the mess is folded up and thrown out. • Extended incontinence protection • DriPADs absorb more, and stay dry longer. • Don’t move the patient – use a DriPAD. • More protection for susceptible patients • Immune compromised patient need the DriPAD.
