One indispensable item for hygiene and incontinence needs is the underpad. Luckily manufacturers have put time and money into the research and development of super absorbent and hygienic underpads.

You might just need a small one for extra protection or a large one that tucks under the mattress; these are also useful for moving a patient in the bed or from bed to bed.

Plus, the kind you need depends on the need.

Incontinence care products are a very specialized industry and you need a reputable and reliable provider. Incontinence is not a pleasant situation but a frequent one.

They are available for specific reasons for the individual needs and caregiver needs.

When my sister started working at an assisted living center, one of the first things she learned was the difference between adult wipes.

In trying to make them nice, they might do some harm since some patients may be allergic to them.

When you read about medical supplies, one of the least mentioned and most important is disposable gloves.

Did you know underpads serve many purposes? They protect the bed and the person by drawing moisture away and absorbing it, plus they are very useful in helping an immobile person scoot up or down in the bed. That means you get assistance in moving the person to change their clothes, the bed, or whatever. It’s easy for in bed patients to slide down when the head of the bed is raised and the washable underpads are wonderful in bringing them back up.
