Vivactive Super Bed Pads (60 x 60 cm)
Single-use disposable underpads designed to protect beds, mattresses, chairs, and surfaces from bodily fluids. Each pad features a soft, non-woven top sheet that allows rapid liquid absorption, an absorbent cellulose core that locks fluids away from skin, and a leak-proof polyethylene backing that prevents strike-through to underlying surfaces. The 60 x 60 cm size provides coverage for standard bed widths and seating areas. Rated "Super" absorption level (4 drops) for moderate to heavy fluid management.

- Surgical procedure draping and fluid containment in resource-limited operating environments
- Examination table protection during medical assessments and procedures

Vivactive Super Bed Pads Advantages: The super absorption rating makes these pads suitable for heavier fluid loads compared to standard light or moderate options, reducing change frequency and conserving supplies in resource-limited settings. The 60 x 60 cm size provides generous coverage for most beds and chairs while remaining manageable for caregivers to place and remove. Disposable format eliminates laundry requirements, critical in humanitarian contexts with limited water, electricity, or sanitation infrastructure. The soft top sheet promotes patient comfort and dignity during incontinence episodes.
