McKesson Breathable Underpads, Ultra

Description

Absorbency Level

Heavy

McKesson Breathable Underpad – Ultra is a high-performance disposable bed pad that provides heavy-duty protection for beds, chairs, or other surfaces. This underpad is ideal for incontinence care, overnight use, or long-term care situations. Measuring 23" × 36", the underpad features a soft, nonwoven topsheet and a fluff/polymer core with a heavy absorbency capacity, quickly capturing fluids and locking them away to keep the surface dry and comfortable.

A key feature of this pad is its air-permeable, breathable backsheet, designed for “low-air-loss” surfaces such as airflow therapy beds — which helps improve ventilation and comfort over extended use. The top layer promotes rapid fluid acquisition, while the super-absorbent polymer core not only traps moisture but also helps reduce the pH of urine, which supports skin wellness and reduces odor — a key benefit in prolonged incontinence care.

Edge seams are heat-sealed and gentle on skin, and the entire construction is latex-free, making it suitable for users with sensitive or delicate skin. McKesson Breathable Underpad – Ultra offers a disposable solution that balances absorbency and comfort, while providing complete and discreet protection.
