Diabetes during pregnancy

Diabetes affects more Americans than previously thought. Diabetes during pregnancy-gestational diabetes -affects about 4% of all pregnant women. There are about 135,000 cases of gestational diabetes in the U.S. each year. Pregnant women need to be especially careful to follow their gynecologist's advice, adhere to healthy meal plans and get adequate exercise.

Diabetes can also affect nursing moms after the baby is born. Diabetic skin is less able to withstand infections, and these moms are at risk for delivery complications, exposure to antibiotics, and thrush of the breasts.

Engineered Textiles to Improve Skin Comfort

EPIBi nursing pads are innovative, because they integrated engineered textiles to improve skin comfort. Our goal is to minimize embarrassment and maximize moisture handling. Our pads are not designed for heavy leakers. Fabric layers' capacity to absorb liquid is lower than disposable's diaper technology.

EPIBi Nursing Pads

Persimmon Scientific has been busy building EPIBi nursing pad website. We will soon import some photos of our nursing pads soon to be available for sale.

EPIBi nursing pads are unique in several ways: Antimicrobial fabric is a permanent part of the textile, which means it does not wash off. It's proven to be safe, FDA-cleared fabric. It also offers super soft surface (non-abrasive) against irritated nipples, which reduces nipple and breast trauma. Breathable multi-layered moisture wicking system helps to get rid of moisture faster. Its thin, contoured pad fits really well under the tank tops.

EPIBi Nursing Pads will soon be introduced to the general market. Persimmon Scientific will be releasing them through distributors and retailers. Institutions are interested in testing our nursing pads for patients who are at risk for developing yeast infections. Women who have to take antibiotics during the delivery tend to develop yeast infections of the breast. Our hospital partners want to know whether EPIBi nursing pads can protect these women in the earliest phase of breastfeeding.
