ABSTRACT:
An absorbent disposable cover for hospital X-ray tables and the like. The cover has a bottom layer in the form of a sheet of plastic material that is impermeable to moisture, an intermediate fluid absorbent layer that functions as a blotter that will absorb and disperse any fluid it comes in contact with, and a top layer in the form of a sheet of material of semi-permeable material that will permit the flow of fluids into the intermediate fluid absorbent layer. A pre-formed corner pocket is formed at the respective corners of the cover and adhesive pads are attached to their bottom surface for detachably securing them to the corners of a table upon which the absorbent disposable cover has been placed. The covers are folded into a compact rectangular shape and stacked in a carton having a cutout slot in its top wall. The cover has been folded in such a manner that the pre-formed cover pockets are on top and located in the area of the cutout slots so they can be grasp for pulling the cover out of the dispensing slot.
