Hospital-Grade Maternity & Postpartum Lochia Care Pads
Shenghongda manufactures hospital-grade postpartum care pads and sterile maternity napkins specifically engineered for high-volume obstetric discharge (lochia rubra) during the critical 72 hours following vaginal or cesarean delivery. Unlike standard feminine napkins, our maternity pads feature an enlarged surface area (150x380mm and 180x450mm) and an anatomical contour that cushions sensitive postpartum sutures and perineal tears. The topsheet is made from an ultra-delicate, 100% lint-free spunbond nonwoven that does not snag on medical stitches or sensitive episiotomy incisions. The absorbent core combines North American virgin fluff pulp with Japanese Sumitomo SAP to absorb viscous fluids rapidly (holding 600 ml to 1,200 ml) while neutralizing odor via natural botanical extracts. The base layer features a wide adhesive fixation strip and a microporous breathable PE backing that shields bed linens while promoting continuous airflow to support perineal wound healing. Available in sterile ethylene oxide (EO) packaged singles or hygienic retail 10-packs at an MOQ of 50,000 units, FOB $0.05 to $0.12 per piece, with 260,000 pieces per 40HQ container.
