ABSTRACT:
A fluid absorption mat is applied to the floor of a surgery room during medical procedures. Patient body fluids drip onto the mat while medical personnel stand on the mat. The fluids are absorbed by the mat through an upper and lower non-woven non-cellulose fibrous material and into a copolymer intermediate layer. The upper and lower layer dry while the intermediate layer retains any fluids absorbed by the mat. The mat is then disposed into a waste container. Medical personnel are thereby exposed to minimal patient body fluids and the clean up of the surgery room is more efficient and cleaner.
