What are pads for incontinence?
Incontinence pads are absorbent pieces of fabric that can be placed on the bed either through normal bed sheets or below them to collect moisture before hitting the mattress. Incontinence is a loss of bladder control and a person suffering from this condition can involuntarily urinate during sleep. The incontinence pads will collect this moisture before it hits the mattress, saving a mattress of what may be permanent damage. These cushions are commonly used in convalescent homes and also in the house who suffers from incontinence. Washable pads are designed so that they are rolled manually or in the washing machine, so they can be reused while the disposable units are simply discarded after use. Washable pads are designed with several layers of material: the bottom layer is waterproof to prevent moisture from moving into contact with the mattress, the upper layers are absorbent for the collection of fluids and preventing them from spreading. Disposable cushions are also often designed in a layerEs, although the materials may not be so durable and will not be safe inserted into the washing machine.
The lower layers of the incontinence pad are made of non -slip material to ensure that the pads remain in place while you sleep on them. This layer can be a type of plastic or other synthetic material that is slipped and in the case of washable pads, washing machines. The upper layers are made of absorbent, interwoven fibers designed to capture moisture and prevent it from spreading. Items with incontinence bed can be used as a primary means to prevent fluid spread on the mattress or as a secondary agent. Adult diapers are available as a primary agent, although they may be bulky and unpleasant to sleep.
The size of the CE Incontinenupolist will vary depending on the size of the bed to which the pad is intended. Pads are often relatively longand re -usable pads can be mounted on a specific size mattress; For example, the incontinence pad of the queen size is conveniently suitable for Queen mattress. Disposable cushions are usually much smaller and cover only a small part of the mattress. Therefore, the pad must be carefully placed under the person before it gets to bed for the night.
