Clinical Towels & Sheets: Frequently Asked Questions

Are disposable sheets cost-effective?

Yes. While the upfront cost may be slightly higher than reusable linen, disposable sheets save costs on:

Laundry (water, electricity, detergent)
Labour hours
Infection control management

What’s the difference between PE backing and quilted sheets?

PE (Polyethylene) backing: Waterproof barrier, ideal for fluid protection.
Quilted: Offers added comfort and absorbency, used commonly in aged care.

Do I need different linens for general practices and surgery?

Absolutely. Surgical linens require sterile packaging and higher absorbency. General-purpose bedsheets can be non-sterile and single-use, depending on your clinic’s workflow.

Benefits of Using Clinical Towels & Sheets

Using proper clinical linen is not just a preference—it's a regulatory and safety necessity in Australia. According to the Australian Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Infection in Healthcare, linens must be handled, cleaned, and disposed of correctly to reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).

Why switch to high-quality clinical linens?

✅ Improved Patient Comfort: Soft-touch surfaces, breathable materials
✅ Enhanced Infection Control: Disposable and barrier-lined options
✅ Time-Saving: Easy changeover between patients
✅ Regulation Compliance: TGA-approved, Australian standard compliant

Key Use Cases:

GP clinics and family practices
Massage and physio centres
Hospitals and surgery centres
Aged and disability care homes

How to Choose the Right Clinical Towels & Sheets

With so many variants, it's essential to select linens that align with your facility's size, patient volume, and health specialisations.

Factors to Consider:

Absorbency

For incontinence management or surgeries, choose underpads or sheets with multi-layered absorbent cores.

2.Size and Coverage

Ensure proper bed coverage: popular dimensions include 60x90 cm, 100x200 cm, and full-width table rolls (45 cm x 100 m).

3. Material Composition

Look for non-woven fabric, PE-laminated backings, and hypoallergenic surfaces.

4. Sterility & Packaging

Surgical products should come pre-sterilised with tamper-proof packaging.

5. Environmental Considerations

Eco-disposable options reduce plastic usage and are biodegradable.

Conclusion

High-quality clinical towels and sheets are more than just patient linen—they are an essential part of infection prevention, comfort, and professional healthcare delivery. Whether you're outfitting a general practice, aged care facility, or operating theatre, investing in the right clinical linen will elevate your hygiene standards and operational efficiency.
