Choosing disposable underpads

Underpads add surface protection to a bed or chair and sit alongside the worn product rather than replacing it.

Sanivy supplies one underpad specification: 60 × 90 cm, 14 per sealed pack, with manufacturer-confirmed absorbency of approximately 1,000 mL.

What an underpad is

A disposable underpad is a flat absorbent sheet placed on top of a surface. It protects mattresses, chairs and other furniture, and is disposed of after use. It is not worn on the body and does not replace a pull-up or tabbed brief.

The Sanivy specification

There is a single underpad size, so no wearer-size selection is required.

Where underpads are commonly used

Underpads are typically used for surface protection during changes, overnight bed protection, or on a chair or recliner used for long periods. Placement depends on the routine and the surface being protected.

  • • Under the hips on a bed
  • • On a chair or recliner
  • • As a working surface during an assisted change

How many might be needed

Underpad quantity in a Sanivy supply scales with the number of reported supported changes. The Supported 3 supply, for example, includes 84 underpads as 6 packs of 14. Actual use varies with routine and surface protection preferences.

How underpads fit into a Supported supply

Underpads are one part of a Supported subscription alongside tabbed briefs, continence wipes, nitrile gloves, foaming cleanser and barrier cream. Everything arrives together on the same 28-day cycle rather than being ordered separately.
