Cygnus Medical
Prevents wet packs!
NoDrip Liners utilize two-ply construction to
provide both padding and absorption. By combining the cushioning
properties of foam with the absorbent properties of medical grade
paper, NoDrip Liners prevent rips and tears in the sterile wrapping
while absorbing condensation and residual moisture. NoDrip liners
increase the evaporation rate by dispersing moisture across the top
absorbent layer. The foam base layer remains dry protecting the
sterile barrier from unwanted wet spots. Visit
