iso-PADs represent the next generation of bedding
materials. iso-PADs are flat, compressed, rectangular pads of cotton
fiber material that can be conveniently dropped into standard shoebox
rodent cages.
iso-PADs are meant to be used as a contact bedding.
Rodents enthusiastically shred the pads into a soft, fluffy consistency
which offers an unsurpassed enrichment aspect to this unique bedding
product.

High Absorbency
•Absorbs more than 400% its weight
in water
•Enhanced evaporation of liquids
•Controls odors better and lasts longer than traditional bedding materials
•Biodegradable and environmentally friendly
•Reduced waste volume
Color and Consistency
•Improved observation of animals and
their discharges due to light color
Minimized Dust
•No pouring and no dispensers greatly
reduces airborne particulates
Environmental Enrichment
•Rodents are instinctively motivated
to shred iso-PADs, creating a natural nest-like environment
•Shredding provides rodents with a natural enrichment activity
•Provides material for a nest building environment
•Ideal environment for rearing young
Economics and Ergonomics
•Consistent pad size insures uniform
dispensing, facilitating accurate cost control accounting
•Reduced weight decreases waste disposal costs
•Improved personnel safety due to light weight and low dust
•Labor saving
Storage and Convenience
•Compressed pads dramatically reduce
storage requirements of this product (1 small case contains enough
