Mattress Care and Draping
Correct draping technique is essential in preserving the life of the mattress. Drapes must be fluid repellent. The
Hill-Rom labor and delivery drape effectively covers the lower three quarters of the bedding throughout labor.
Additional pads or towels placed under the patient will help prevent fluid from reaching the edges of the drape. This
safeguard keeps the sheets clean and dry while preventing fluid exposure to the mattress.
NOTE:
Standard OB packs and paper drapes will not keep the sheets dry.
Repeated soaking of mattress materials will accelerate wear and eventually destroy mattress seals, causing fluids
to leak into the cushions.
Hill-Rom slipcovers are recommended to help extend the life of the mattress.
NOTE:
Mattress damage caused by improper draping and cleaning procedures is not covered by warranty.
NOTE:
Sheets must always be placed over the mattress before the bed is used by a patient.
The following products have been tested by the Herculite Laboratory and have been found not to have a harmful
effect on Dartex® fabrics when used in accordance with manufacturer’s recommended dilution.
