Product overview

Cardinal Health 3523 Towel Polylined 18" x 26" is designed to offer both durability and superior absorbency in clinical and procedural environments. Constructed with a soft, absorbent material and lined with a fluid-resistant poly backing, this towel serves as a dependable surface protector or patient covering during medical procedures. Its dual-layer construction ensures fluids do not seep through, maintaining cleanliness and promoting infection control.

Ideal for use in hospitals, outpatient centers, and medical offices, this towel provides both functional protection and professional-grade quality. Whether lining instrument trays, drying hands, or protecting surfaces during patient care, it offers versatility and reliability where its needed most.

Key benefits

• Absorbent front layer efficiently handles fluids, preventing messes and maintaining a clean workspace

Comparison with competitor products

Compared to traditional absorbent towels, Cardinal Health 3523 stands out with its polylined backing that adds an extra layer of fluid protection. While many towels offer absorbency, few combine absorbent softness with an impermeable poly liner that delivers reliable surface protection in high-fluid situations.

Its larger size and consistent performance make it a preferred choice among clinical professionals who need durable, effective solutions without added bulk or complexity.
