Dukal 12436 - Fluff Underpad 23" x 36", 50/BG, 3 BG/CS
The Dukal 12436 Fluff Underpad is a high absorbency disposable pad designed to protect surfaces and enhance patient comfort during medical care. Measuring 23 x 36 inches, this large size underpad provides reliable coverage for beds, exam tables, and chairs. Constructed with a soft non woven top sheet and absorbent fluff core, it effectively locks in fluids and reduces the risk of leakage, keeping both patients and surfaces dry.
Key Benefits
This underpad delivers superior absorbency, making it suitable for extended use in clinical or home care settings. The soft surface enhances patient comfort while minimizing skin irritation. Its single use, disposable design supports infection control protocols and simplifies cleanup, saving staff time and reducing laundry costs. The strong backing prevents fluid strike through, protecting bedding and furniture underneath.
Compatibility and Applications
The Dukal 12436 Fluff Underpad is compatible with a wide range of care environments, including hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and home healthcare. It is commonly used for incontinent patients, post operative recovery, wound care, and procedures requiring fluid absorption. The 23 x 36 inch size provides versatile coverage for adult patients and larger surface areas.
Usage Guidelines
Place the underpad with the soft absorbent side facing up and the moisture resistant backing facing down. Position it under the patient or over any surface requiring protection. Dispose of the underpad after single use according to facility waste management protocols. Do not flush. For optimal hygiene and performance, replace promptly when soiled or saturated.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
Dukal Fluff Underpads are manufactured in compliance with medical industry quality standards for disposable patient care products. They are latex free and designed to meet infection control guidelines for single use absorbent products. Regulatory details and applicable safety certifications can be confirmed on the product packaging and manufacturer documentation.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to basic disposable underpads, the Dukal 12436 offers a larger surface area and superior fluid retention due to its fluff core construction. Many competitor pads may use thinner materials that can lead to leakage or discomfort, while this product is designed to provide reliable absorption, durability, and comfort at a competitive cost. The case pack of 150 pads (3 bags of 50 each) offers added value for facilities with higher patient volume.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Primary users include nurses, caregivers, and healthcare aides in hospitals, nursing facilities, and home settings. Common application scenarios include managing patient incontinence, post operative recovery, wound dressing changes, and as an additional protective barrier during clinical procedures. Patients benefit from improved hygiene and comfort, while facilities reduce cleaning and maintenance burdens.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store the underpads in a clean, dry environment until use. Always handle with clean hands and use aseptic technique when needed for wound care support. Replace pads promptly when saturated to prevent skin breakdown and maintain a hygienic care environment. Dispose of properly after single use according to facility infection control and waste management guidelines.
