Specified to offer a high soak capacity, they can absorb up to 3 litres of fluid, and when combined with the in-built top layer, will keep the sleeper dry to maximise patient comfort. Each bed pad has bound and stitched edges, which means that they are thicker and extra tough, offering great durability. Please note: Wash at 95 centigrades before use and tumble dry on low heat below 77centigrades. Do not use softeners.
