What are the differences between disposable bed pads and disposable incontinence underpads?
All three of my children were swaddled in cotton sheets with the words "Property of Hospital" printed on them, but I knew they were mine when they came out crying.We've been using under pads for our puppy for several years.Hospitals, nursing homes, and day care centers use underpads to protect mattresses, cribs, chairs, sofas, recliners, wheelchairs and all sorts of products that they don't want to get wet.An underpad can keep the area dry when there is a lot of rain.There is a blue colored plastic sheet with a white paper sheet on top.They used to be called Chux, which was a brand name from a long time ago.These types of under pads are disposable.Different levels of absorbency can be achieved by changing the amount of paper fluff.The plastic version is very thin and has a tendency to move around.The sizes are from 17 x 24 to 30 x 36.The way the manufacturer layers the materials is another consideration to look for.Prevail uses a bonded construction that reduces top sheet separation and clumping, and in addition incorporates a soft, yet strong cloth-like topsheet with a flat seal around the pad there are no plastic edges exposed to the skin.If you hold the underpad up to a light, you can see the clumping of paper fluff and other sections have no fluff at all.There are inconsistencies that may produce leaks.Some people prefer to use disposable under pads that are made of cotton and/or a polyester blend and attached to a vinyl backing which makes them waterproof.The fabric sandwich makes it softer.Reusable under pads come in a variety of colors.The handmade underpads can be made in different sizes from a wheelchair seat to larger sizes to protect the bed.There are many different brands of underpads.There are different levels of quality, absorbency, colors, sizes, and cost.Noah has over 15 years of experience in providing high quality medical supplies and healthcare products.CWI Medical is a leading provider of clinical diabetes nutrition to healthcare facilities, and for home use.CWI Medical maintains standards of excellence in the healthcare field.Please visit the website for more information.
