Keep your patients comfortable, dry and protected from MASD
Moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) is painful for patients and costly for your facility. Keeping moisture away from the skin helps prevent MASD, and our Ultrasorbs line-up has multiple absorbent options to help you do it.
Each moisture-wicking Ultrasorbs is made with advanced polymers that promote skin dryness and comfort—while also reducing shear and allowing air circulation. Take a layer-by-layer look, below, to see how Ultrasorbs work for your patients.
