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