10-Minute Test for Dryness:
Ability of a drypad to withstand multiple insults is determined using the “rewet” test. The test is done by pouring 500 milliliters of water onto a drypad, waiting 10 minutes and then measuring how much water returns to the surface. The lower the number, the drier against patient skin.
