About Medline Ultrasorbs Advanced+ Premium Absorbent Underpads, Extra Absorbency

Medline Ultrasorbs Advanced+ Premium Absorbent Underpads deliver hospital-quality protection in a format designed for comfortable, reliable use at home. The superabsorbent core rapidly pulls fluid away from the skin surface and traps it — along with associated odor — deep within the pad, leaving the top layer dry to the touch within minutes. Unlike standard underpads that can bunch, swell, or fall apart when saturated, the Ultrasorbs pad lies flat throughout wear, maintaining its shape and coverage even when fully loaded. The ultrasoft, breathable top layer is gentle against skin and helps protect against the friction and shear that can damage fragile or compromised skin during repositioning or extended bed rest. The high-strength AquaShield film backsheet resists tearing and leaks, helping to protect mattresses, furniture, and bedding from saturation and reducing the frequency of full linen changes. Air-permeable throughout, this underpad is compatible with low air loss mattresses and supports skin health during extended use. Available in multiple sizes and pack quantities to suit a range of protection needs and purchasing preferences.

Key Benefits & Features

• Extra-Absorbent Superabsorbent Core: Rapidly draws fluid away from the skin surface and locks it deep within the pad, keeping the top layer dry to the touch within minutes and helping to prevent prolonged skin exposure to moisture — a key factor in reducing the risk of skin breakdown and pressure injuries.
• Stays Flat When Wet: Unlike standard disposable underpads that bunch, swell, or disintegrate when saturated, the Ultrasorbs pad maintains its flat, stable shape throughout use, ensuring consistent coverage and comfort even after full absorption.
• Odor Control: The superabsorbent core traps odor along with fluid, helping to maintain a fresher environment and supporting dignity and comfort for the user during use.
• Ultrasoft, Breathable Top Layer: The soft, quilted top surface is gentle against sensitive and fragile skin, helping to protect against friction and shear forces that can cause skin damage during repositioning, transfers, or extended periods of bed rest.
• AquaShield Backsheet for Leak Protection: The high-strength backsheet with AquaShield film technology resists tearing and prevents fluid from saturating through to the mattress or furniture below, significantly reducing the frequency of full bed linen changes and the associated caregiver workload.
• Air-Permeable for Skin Health and Mattress Compatibility: The breathable construction allows moisture vapor to escape, supporting a healthier skin microclimate during extended use and making this underpad compatible with low air loss mattresses used in advanced pressure injury management.
• Hospital-Quality for Home Use: Designed to the performance standards used in acute care and long-term care facilities, but equally appropriate and practical for at-home caregiving and incontinence management.
• Multiple Sizes and Pack Quantities Available: Available in a range of sizes and configurations to accommodate different coverage needs and purchasing volumes, from small packs for home use to larger cases for facilities and high-frequency users.

Who Should Be Using This?

Medline Ultrasorbs Advanced+ Premium Underpads are appropriate for adults managing urinary or bowel incontinence who require a high-capacity, skin-protective underpad for use in bed, on a chair, or on other furniture. They are particularly well suited for individuals with fragile or compromised skin, those who are bed-bound or have limited mobility, and caregivers who want to reduce the frequency of linen changes during overnight or daytime care.

How Do You Use or Apply This Product?

Place the underpad soft-side up on the bed, chair, or other surface where protection is needed. Position the pad so that the soft, quilted top layer is in contact with the user's skin, centering it under the waist and hip area for optimal coverage. Replace the underpad when saturated or soiled. Dispose of used pads in a trash bin — do not flush.
