Statistics tell us that 64% of acute nursing time is taken up with continence issues. Many products used on hospital beds are not absorbent enough. Conni Bed Pads have a guaranteed absorbent capacity that reduces the need for repeated bed changes.
Why is Conni® the most technically advanced, quality assured product in Australia & New Zealand?......
Conni is OEKO-TEX accredited
Oeko-Tex is an international standard for the testing of harmful substances in textiles. There is widespread concern about the use of toxic substances such as formaldehyde in textiles products and Oeko-Tex accredited products are certified to ensure that the levels of chemicals pose no risk to human health.

Conni uses sophisticated textile technology
The most important areas of performance are...
Speed of absorption: how quickly the moisture passes through the top layer of the pad. The faster this happens, the greater the comfort level.
Rate of spread: how quickly the moisture disperses to the outer perimeter of the pad. The faster moisture moves from the centre of the pad, the drier it feels.
Surface wick back: the percentage of moisture passing back up through the top of the pad under pressure. The lower the percentage (or the less amount of moisture, the better). This varies according to body weight.
% of fluid capacity: the amount of fluid the pad can hold compared to the actual weight of the pad. A light weight pad with large fluid holding capacity is best.
Fluid holding capacity: the amount of fluid the pad can hold before overflow occurs.
Conni Products are independently laboratory tested
To ensure our high standards are met, each batch of Conni products is performance tested through a NATA accredited independent textile laboratory. This process acts as an endorsement of our products to guarantee our customers we are committed to quality. Copies of the official certification from the accredited testing authority are available on request.
Commercial Laundry Information
Each batch of Conni bed pads is laboratory tested at 80°C across 5 wash/dry cycles. The team at Conni understands the rigours of textiles in commercial laundry environments and our aim is to provide a cost-effective product that will perform in these conditions, again and again.
Conni Bed Pads do not need to be laundered to activate the absorbency. This represents significant cost savings to the laundry. Our products are designed with 'non-piling' surface fabric which is critical for skin integrity issues particularly in aged or critical care.
