DryMax 2.4 Surgical Floor Mat

800-552-3441
FYI: This disposable mat, just a few millimeters thick, absorbs up to
nine liters of tap water or 3.5 liters of 0.9% normal saline. The com-
pany says the mat's absorption level means it won't leak or drip,
even at high fluid and bacteria retention. This is not a mat you stand
upon, because it can get slippery. When the case is over, the mat can
be treated as clinical waste, as combustion transforms the fluids into
a gel. It's meant to be placed under the operating table, in front of
the feet of the surgical team. Its core is made of cellulose and sodi-
um polyacrylate, while the outer cover is made non-woven
polypropylene. The mats come in plastic bags of 25 that can be hung
on the wall. A box 100 bags is $650 with discounts available.
