Today, it is quite common for the bedridden individual to live in the home with a family member acting as caretaker or nurse. In such instances, the bedridden person needs to be made as comfortable as possible by the caretaker. This often means frequent bed changes as the ill often have accidents while being confined to the bed. Often, they cannot get up fast enough to prevent human waste from soiling the bed linens. In these circumstances, they urinate and/or defecate in the bed, leaving the mess and the odor to be cleaned up.
A good reduction in cleanup can be created simply by lining the bed linens with disposable bed pads. These pads are water resistant, and they are strong enough to hold solid waste as well. They should always be placed strategically so that the individual’s bottom is centered in the middle of the pad. This makes is possible that any accident will be properly caught within the perimeters of the pad.
While the disposable pads are thin, they are durable and strong. If the bedridden person suffers a bought of diarrhea, the disposable pad will be able to support it if the pad is changed frequently throughout the day. The same concept works for the incontinent bedridden individual. If changed frequently, repeated urination will not cause the pad to disintegrate. It will hold together and keep the urine away from the clean sheets.
Disposable bed pads come in several sizes 17″ x 24″, 23″ x 24″, 23″ x 36″, and 30″ x 36″. Depending on the size of the bed and your bedridden individual, you can select a pad that will fit your needs. You can also buy super absorbent versions of the pads as well. Volume purchases are encouraged. Sums ranging from 10 to 25 in a pack to 150 and 300 pieces can be purchased.
Disposable bed pads come in super or extra absorbency, waterproof and standard. These pads are designed to maintain dryness against the skin of the bedridden party. They reduce odors and they can be purchase in the sizes that reach the full length of the bed. The pads are also latex free and non-irritating to the skin.
Caretakers and nurses save countless hours in clean up time by using bed pads for their bedridden family and patients. Because they are affordable and easily stocked in quantity, one can be used for each day that a loved one or patient is confined to the bed.
