FAQs
What is the primary benefit of Medline Ultrasorbs Advanced Premium Underpads?
The primary benefit is their superior absorbency and ability to keep surfaces dry quickly, which helps protect the skin from moisture and irritation.
Are these underpads reusable?
No, these are disposable underpads and are intended for single use only. They should be discarded after soiling.
How do I know which side faces up?
The soft, quilted side should always face upwards, touching the body, to provide comfort and absorb fluid.
Can these underpads be used with low air loss mattresses?
Yes, they are air-permeable and designed to be suitable for use with low air loss mattresses without interfering with the mattress's function.
What does 'Ultra' absorbency mean?
'Ultra' absorbency indicates the highest level of fluid-holding capacity available in this product line, designed for maximum leakage protection.
What are the dimensions of these underpads?
The dimensions are 30 x 36 inches, providing substantial coverage.
How do they help with odor?
The superabsorbent core is designed to trap and contain not only fluid but also odors, helping to maintain a fresher environment.
Troubleshooting
Underpad feels damp after initial use.
Ensure the underpad was positioned correctly with the quilted side up. If the underpad is saturated beyond its capacity, a fresh underpad may be needed more frequently.
Underpad bunches or shifts significantly.
Ensure the underpad is laid flat before use. For persistent shifting, consider using medical tape to secure the edges to the mattress or bed linens, or ensure the size is appropriate for the area needing coverage.
Skin irritation occurs despite using the underpad.
While the underpad keeps surfaces dry, prolonged exposure to moisture can still irritate skin. Ensure the underpad is changed promptly when soiled and practice regular skin hygiene and care routines.
