Persimmon Scientific Introduces EPIBI® Nursing Pads

Online, October 11, 2010 (Newswire.com) - (SPECIAL TO ABC EXPO, Booth #4439) Persimmon Scientific, Inc., dedicated to integrating technical and engineered fabrics for healthcare, is showcasing its skin-friendly EPIBI Nursing Pads in the First Timers Pavilion Booth #4439 and at the New Products Showcase during ABC Kids Expo taking place October 10 - 13, 2010 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. They are the only skin-friendly, washable nursing pads with an antimicrobial layer on the market.

"Breastfeeding women are vulnerable to moisture-related, traumatic nipple and breast problems and skin infections due to inappropriate nursing pads," commented Dr. Elly Hann, a former wound care team physician and founder of Persimmon Scientific. "Fabrics such as cotton and wool can irritate sensitive skin. I developed the EPIBI® Nursing Pads to help nursing mothers keep their skin comfortable, dry and healthy, encouraging women to breastfeed longer."

The FDA-cleared, patent-pending engineered layer in the EPIBI® Nursing Pad, feels cool to the touch, is abrasion-free and its antimicrobial layer inhibits bacteria. Its moisture transfer system quickly moves moisture away from the skin allowing the pad to dry quickly. Together, the system produces a clean and healthy environment that protects skin and promotes healing. All EPIBI® products are machine washable making them better for the environment and 70% more economical than traditional disposable pads.

In addition to being skin-friendly, the EPIBI® Regular Absorbency Nursing Pads have a low profile (35% lighter than a cotton pad) and are contoured to fit comfortably inside a nursing bra. EPIBI® Nursing Pads are available in regular and super absorbent in a variety of fashionable colors. A Starter Pack, consisting of one pair of Regular Absorbency and one pair of Super Absorbency pads with a wash bag retails for $19.99. A package of 2 pair EPIBI® Regular Absorbency Pads retails at $19.99 and includes a wash bag. One pair of EPIBI® Super Absorbency Pads with a wash bag retails for $14.99.
