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.

Common humanitarian uses:

• Incontinence management for elderly, disabled, or bedridden patients in shelters or field hospitals
• Maternity care for postpartum bleeding protection during childbirth or recovery
• Surgical procedure draping and fluid containment in resource-limited operating environments
• Examination table protection during medical assessments and procedures
• Wound care and dressing changes to protect bedding from drainage
• Hygiene maintenance during patient transport or evacuation
• Infection control barrier in shared living spaces with limited laundry facilities

Important safety notes:

• Not a substitute for incontinence products: Bed pads complement but do not replace proper adult diapers, pull-ups, or other personal incontinence management products
• Secure placement: Ensure pad lies flat without wrinkles; bunched pads can create pressure points or allow leakage at edges
• Disposal hygiene: Fold used pads inward to contain fluids and dispose in appropriate waste containers following infection control protocols
• Fire safety: Keep away from open flames or high heat sources; polyethylene backing is flammable
• Positioning for bedridden patients: When used under immobile patients, monitor skin regularly and reposition patient frequently to prevent pressure injuries

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.
