Hospital bed pads

A disposable medical bed pad is a thin, absorbent pad that is placed under a patient. Disposable underpads with the feature of super absorbent offer protection to the mattress from liquid-leaking damage. Users need to place the pad generally below or above the linens, according to personal preference.

What are the benefits?

With hospital incontinence pads, healthcare professionals do not need to change patients’ linen multiple times during the night. Also, what they need to do is merely to remove the pad and replace it with a fresh one instead of stripping the sheets. The process makes the job much easier for caregivers.

Hospital bed toppers can also be used by individual users for their beds at home. The benefit is similar to that mentioned above: If the person wakes up in the middle of the night, they only need to change the pad and go back to sleep instead of changing the whole linen.

What are the different types of bed pads?

There are two types of bed pads: reusable and disposable. Since reusable hospital bed pads can be used repeatedly, they are more cost-efficient than disposable ones. Washable bed pads stay in place better and are durable. Disposable bed covers can be used only once. They require no laundering; after a disposable bed pad has been used, it can be chucked into the trash can.

Although washable hospital bed pads are more economical and usually of better quality, if customers are looking for an easy, temporary solution, disposable hospital-grade bed pads may be their answer.

How to use it?

Simply place a hospital chux pad on top of bedding or furniture such as a hospital bed, sofa, or wheelchair, and it will adhere to it instantly. Additionally, if there are a lot of leakages, it is acceptable to use more than one underpad.
