First Responders - EMS, Fire and Police

Quellent's family of EMS DriPADs is new and specifically designed for emergency services to enable personnel to manage potentially biohazardous fluids often encountered on site at accidents and other emergencies. These super absorbent pads can soak-up and trap liters of blood, urine and other body fluids, and accrue substantial productivity improvements as well.

Here are some ways your colleagues have told us EMS DriPADs make their job easier and safer:

Absorbent Side Down:

• Use them for clean-up - to soak up blood, urine from the pavement, or in the vehicle.
• Use them as knee pads - to keep the mess on the ground off of your uniform, and to cushion gravel when kneeling.
• Spread out a larger size for a work area - to keep the fluids on the ground, such as blood or water or antifreeze, off of your fanny pack or med supplies while you work on your patient.
• Drop one in your urinal or emesis basin to keep the fluids from spilling.

Absorbent Side Up:

• Under an IV start - to catch any bleeding.
• Under a scalp wound - to absorb any bleed through.
• Under a possible incontinent patient - to keep the mess contained.
• On the gurney or vehicle seat - to avoid the clean-up after the case.
• Under the patient - to catch fluids from emesis or child birth.

EMS Managers also cite these important issues and benefits:

• Helps to save money by averting costly clean-up down time.
• Enhances the protection of workers from potentially biohazardous fluids.
• Avert slippery environments that can cause worker injuries.
