Huntington Beach, Calif.-October 25, 2005 -- Quellent Technologies, a supplier of proprietary disposable absorptive pads and technologies, today announced the introduction of its DriPAD product line designed for use in human and animal healthcare. DriPADs are available in several configurations and sizes for each of its key customer groups: First Responders (EMS, Fire, Police, and Ambulance), Hospitals (ER, OR and Burn Care), Blood Banks, Laboratories, and Mortuaries. DriPADs are also ideal for Pet Care and Pet Transportation, and are used for Home Bedwetting and Incontinence Care.

"The DriPAD line of products provides healthcare professionals and consumers with a powerful tool to manage biological fluids such as blood, serum, urine, saline solutions and vomit," said Craig Sundheimer, Quellent's Chief Business Officer. "They are constructed of super absorbent air-laid fibers. The disposable pads will literally absorb liters of fluids, and then sequester the pathogens in the pad core matrix."

"DriPADs quickly remove potentially biohazardous fluids from the scene, and by reducing the spread of the contaminants, create a safer environment for patients, healthcare workers and the consumer. Compared to towels and other reusable absorbents, they are very cost effective.'' added Lloyd Jarvis, Quellent's CFO. "For example, hospital laundry costs are per pound. Since only one liter of water weighs over two pounds, those costs add up - but the real benefit of DriPADs is their ability to improve turn-around efficiency, reduce clean-up time and manage the mess and associated hazards of biofluids in the care environment."

"DriPADs are applied at the source of the fluids and contain the biohazard mess immediately. This means our hospital customers can save time and money each time their staff uses a DriPAD - time that would have been spent cleaning floors or equipment - not to mention the added worker safety. When compared to other disposables available to institutions and consumers, there just is no product available that absorbs and disinfects like a DriPAD does," said Jarvis.

DriPADs are available via the company's website www.Quellent.com and through select distributors.
