Absorbent Pads
Absorbent pads are designed to manage fluid and protect patients, equipment and clinical surfaces during a wide range of medical procedures and patient care activities. Used across hospitals, outpatient clinics, aged care and community healthcare settings, absorbent pads help maintain a clean, hygienic environment by effectively containing fluids while supporting patient comfort and infection prevention practices. Available in a range of sizes and absorbency levels, they provide a practical solution for both routine and specialist clinical applications.

- Managing waste while maintaining efficient stock levels and product availability.
Treatment Considerations
- Select an absorbent pad with an appropriate size and absorbency level for the intended clinical application.
- Consider patient comfort, particularly during prolonged procedures or extended periods of use.
- Ensure the pad provides effective fluid containment while helping to protect surrounding surfaces and maintain a clean clinical environment.
- Choose products with a waterproof backing where additional protection against strike-through is required.
- Follow local infection prevention and waste disposal protocols when handling and disposing of used absorbent pads.
- Consider product durability and fluid retention to minimise the need for frequent changes during patient care.
- Evaluate packaging, storage requirements and ease of use to support efficient clinical workflows and inventory management.
