ANSWER
:
The placement of absorbent pads under and around exposed drains is meant to prevent skin irritation and wound contamination.
The absorbent pads keep the area of surgery dry and ensure the safety and hygiene of the patient by absorbing water and body fluids.
These pads are highly absorbent and are made up of materials such as cellulose or rayon fibers.
They come in different shapes and sizes to ensure the comfort of the patient.
