The Super Absorbent Disposable Underpads for Bedding or Seating provide an easy and comfortable way to keep body fluids from wetting and staining the bed or chair from a person experiencing incontinence problems.
The pad is a super-absorbent combination of nonwoven facing, fluff filler that is surrounded by soft facial tissue. Underneath the pad is a waterproof, blue polyethylene backing that keeps urine, feces and other body fluids from reaching the bed or chair.
This one-time use, disposable pad fits underneath the incontinent user to absorb and retain liquid as well as wick away the moisture from the skin of the user, keeping body fluids from staining a bed or chair. Using underpads helps to control bacterial growth on the bed or furniture while preventing against infection, and mitigating any urine or fecal smells from the bed or chair.
Because of the relatively inexpensive cost and the ease of use of the disposable underpads, they are often used in hospitals, nursing homes, elderly care and child care facilities, in private homes, and due to the ease of portability, in cars during trips or excursions.
