Medline Select Traditional Reusable Underpads - Ultra Absorbent Washable Bed Pads 30"x36" (12/Dozen)

Premium Reusable Underpads for Superior Incontinence Protection

These professional-grade traditional reusable underpads provide a durable, reliable, and cost-effective solution for incontinence protection in hospitals, long-term care facilities, nursing homes, home healthcare settings, and residential care environments. Designed to withstand hundreds of washing and drying cycles while maintaining exceptional absorbency and leak protection, these underpads offer both superior comfort and remarkable longevity, making them an essential component of any caregiving setup, patient care program, or home incontinence management system.

Ultra Absorbency for Maximum Protection

1,000 mL Working Capacity: These ultra-absorbent underpads feature an impressive 1,000 milliliter working capacity, providing exceptional fluid management for moderate to heavy incontinence episodes, overnight protection, and extended wear situations. The generous absorbency capacity ensures patients, residents, and users remain dry and comfortable throughout the night or during extended periods between changes, reducing the frequency of linen changes, minimizing skin exposure to moisture, and improving overall comfort and dignity.

Advanced Fluff and Polymer Core: The sophisticated absorbent core combines traditional fluff fibers with modern super-absorbent polymer technology to create a highly efficient fluid management system. The fluff component provides rapid initial absorption and fluid distribution across the pad surface, while the polymer crystals lock away moisture and prevent rewetting, keeping the top surface drier and more comfortable against the skin. This dual-component system delivers superior performance compared to single-material cores, ensuring reliable protection even during heavy fluid events.

Comfortable Soft Quilted Top Sheet

Gentle Twill Facing: The soft, comfortable twill facing provides a gentle, skin-friendly surface that enhances patient comfort during extended contact periods. The smooth twill weave is soft against sensitive skin, reduces friction that could contribute to skin breakdown, and creates a more pleasant tactile experience for users. Unlike rough or scratchy materials that can cause discomfort or irritation, this premium twill facing promotes skin health and user satisfaction.

Stain-Resistant Properties: The twill facing is specially treated to resist staining, maintaining a cleaner, more professional appearance even after repeated use and laundering. This stain resistance helps preserve the aesthetic quality of the underpads, reduces the visible impact of incontinence episodes, and supports a more dignified care environment. The ability to resist staining also extends the useful life of the underpads by preventing permanent discoloration that would otherwise necessitate early replacement.

Quilted Construction: The quilted top sheet design serves multiple functional purposes including enhanced fluid distribution, improved surface softness, dimensional stability during washing, and a more luxurious feel. The quilting pattern helps channel fluids toward the absorbent core, prevents bunching or shifting of internal layers, and maintains the pad's shape and structure through hundreds of laundry cycles.

Leakproof Vinyl Knit Barrier

Soft, Flexible Waterproof Protection: The innovative vinyl knit barrier provides completely leakproof protection that stays remarkably soft and flexible, unlike traditional vinyl backings that can become stiff, crinkly, or uncomfortable. This advanced barrier technology prevents fluid strike-through to mattresses, furniture, wheelchairs, or other surfaces while maintaining a quiet, comfortable feel that doesn't create noise during patient movement or repositioning. The soft barrier enhances user comfort, reduces the institutional feel of traditional waterproof products, and provides discreet protection.

Air Permeable Design: Despite its waterproof properties, the barrier layer is air permeable, allowing air circulation that helps regulate temperature, reduce heat buildup, and minimize the risk of skin maceration or moisture-related skin damage. This breathability is critical for maintaining skin health during extended wear periods, particularly for individuals with limited mobility who cannot frequently reposition themselves. The air-permeable design creates a healthier microclimate at the skin surface while still providing complete fluid containment.

Exceptional Durability & Reusability

Heavy-Duty Construction: Engineered to endure the heavy demands of repeated commercial and home laundering, these underpads are constructed with reinforced seams, durable materials, and quality manufacturing processes that ensure long-term performance. The robust construction withstands the mechanical stresses of washing machines, the chemical exposure of detergents and disinfectants, and the heat of commercial dryers without degradation, separation, or loss of absorbency. This exceptional durability makes these underpads ideal for high-volume institutional use where products must perform reliably through hundreds of laundry cycles.

Cost-Effective Reusable Design: The reusable nature of these underpads delivers significant cost savings compared to disposable alternatives by eliminating the recurring expense of purchasing single-use products. While the initial investment is higher than disposable pads, the ability to launder and reuse these underpads hundreds of times results in dramatically lower per-use costs and substantial long-term savings for facilities and families managing ongoing incontinence care needs. The economic advantage becomes increasingly significant in long-term care situations where incontinence protection is needed daily for extended periods.

Environmental Sustainability: Choosing reusable underpads over disposable alternatives significantly reduces medical waste generation, landfill contributions, and environmental impact. This sustainable approach aligns with green healthcare initiatives, corporate sustainability goals, and environmentally conscious consumer values while delivering superior performance and cost savings.

Generous 30" x 36" Size

Optimal Coverage Dimensions: The 30-inch by 36-inch size provides generous coverage for standard hospital beds, home beds, wheelchairs, chairs, examination tables, and other surfaces requiring protection. These dimensions offer sufficient area to accommodate patient movement, positioning changes, and fluid spread while ensuring adequate protection of underlying surfaces. The size is large enough to provide comprehensive coverage yet manageable enough for easy handling, positioning, and laundering.

Versatile Placement Options: The generous dimensions make these underpads suitable for multiple applications including bed protection (placed under the torso and hip area), wheelchair seat protection, furniture protection, examination table covering, and general surface protection in any care setting. The versatile size accommodates various body types, positioning needs, and protection scenarios.

Professional White Color

Clean, Clinical Appearance: The professional white color provides a clean, clinical appearance appropriate for healthcare facilities while also making it easy to assess cleanliness and identify when laundering is needed. The white color supports infection control protocols by making soiling immediately visible, ensuring timely changes and proper hygiene maintenance.
