Reusable Bedding

Encompass No-Fold linen system

Creating the perfect comfort bed for your patients’ comfort and care. 

Each individual item in the perfect comfort bed concept was designed to improve patient care. Smoother linens mean less wrinkles and bunching to reduce the risk of pressure points. Toe-tented top sheet reduces pressure on toes and heels. Minimal layers under the patient allow the pressure redistribution mattress you use to do its job. Low-friction patient positioner reduces skin damage from shear and friction, as well as helping to reduce staff injuries.

• Maximized bed-making efficiencies; reduce bed making time
• Reduced shrinkage for a smoother surface
• Skin-care-friendly fabrics
• Improved color retention and stain resistance for aesthetic appeal
• Crease-resistant fabric to reduce wrinkling

Construction

Almost all underpads are constructed of a top or “facing” layer, a middle “soaker” layer, and a bottom “barrier” layer. Each has a job to do:

FACING — get moisture away from skin; provide soft, comfortable surface. 

Modern, all-polyester fabrics provide the softness that cotton does, but are designed to wick moisture from the top facing into the soaker level. For best patient care, we recommend a high-performing all-polyester facing, instead of one made from cotton fabric.

SOAKER — attract, hold and disperse moisture over multiple voids. 

A good patient care pad will have a minimum of 35% rayon, which is more effective at drawing the moisture into the soaker and quickly spreading it horizontally. Disposable incontinent pads generally use polymer gels to capture liquids. However, once activated, the gel usually cannot absorb or disperse more liquids on multiple voids like a reusable pad can.

BARRIER — keep moisture inside pad; keep pad from slipping down the bed.

The best patient care pads “bond” their barrier layer to the quilted facing and soaker levels. Bonding ensures that the pad will not bunch on itself, and also makes it more durable and wrinkle-free during the laundering process.
