The benefits of a unique washable and reusable absorbent bed pad (Kylie) present significant advantages over drawsheets. In a crossover study on incontinent geriatric patients, those on the new bed pads required less than half the bed changes needed by patients who were lying on drawsheets. The patients benefited by having longer periods when their skin was dry, so that the incidence of erythema was reduced. The new bed pads also demonstrated other advantages, such as less wrinkling and creasing and a reduction in the level of odour, which resulted in patients being more restful. The subsequent need for less linen meant a reduced workload for nurses and cost savings to hospitals and laundries. This bed pad represents a significant advance in the management of incontinent patients.
一种独特的可清洗和重复使用的吸收性床垫（凯莉）与衬单相比具有显著优势。在一项针对失禁老年患者的交叉研究中，使用新床垫的患者所需的床单更换次数不到使用衬单患者的一半。患者受益于皮肤保持干燥的时间更长，从而降低了红斑的发生率。新床垫还显示出其他优势，如皱纹和折痕更少，气味水平降低，这使患者更加舒适。随后对亚麻布需求的减少意味着护士的工作量减少，医院和洗衣房的成本节约。这种床垫代表了失禁患者护理管理方面的重大进步。
