Incontinence management: They are commonly used for patients with urinary or bowel incontinence to protect bedding and furniture. Post-operative care: Underpads can be used to manage discharge and fluid leakage after surgery. Wound care: They help in containing drainage from wounds, preventing infection, and keeping the surrounding area dry. During procedures: Underpads are often used during medical procedures to maintain a clean and dry environment. Bedridden patients: They provide an extra layer of protection for patients who are confined to bed for extended periods.
