Mattress Draping (OB/GYN Stretcher)
CAUTION:
Mattress damage caused by improper draping and/or cleaning
procedures is not covered by the warranty.
Correct draping techniques are essential to help to preserve the life of the
mattress. Drapes must be fluid repellent. The full size labor and delivery drape
effectively covers the lower three-quarters of the bedding throughout labor.
Place additional pads or towels under the patient to keep fluid from reaching
the edges of the drape. This keeps the sheets clean and dry while preventing
fluid exposure to the mattress.
CAUTION:
Standard OB packs and paper drapes will not keep the sheets dry.
Mattress damage could occur.
Repeated soaking and scrubbing of mattress materials will accelerate wear and
eventually destroy mattress seals, causing fluids to leak into the cushions.
