TENA Air Flow Underpads, Moderate Absorbency Absorbency Level Moderate Maintaining skin integrity is a top priority for caregivers and individuals managing incontinence. TENA Air Flow Underpads are specifically engineered to work in tandem with specialty low-air-loss beds, ensuring that the therapeutic benefits of the mattress reach the user. Unlike standard plastic-backed pads that can trap heat and moisture against the body, these underpads feature a breathable backsheet that allows air to circulate freely. This advanced design helps regulate skin temperature and minimize the risk of moisture-associated skin damage (MASD). While the focus is on breathability, protection remains uncompromised. These underpads utilize a high-quality fluff core that quickly wicks away fluids, locking them deep inside to keep the surface dry to the touch. This moderate absorbency level is ideal for protecting bed linens and furniture from leaks, spills, and moisture. Whether used in a clinical setting or for at-home care, TENA Air Flow Underpads provide a reliable barrier that promotes a drier, healthier environment for the skin. The soft, non-woven topsheet is gentle against sensitive skin, reducing friction and enhancing overall comfort during extended periods of rest. By choosing a product that balances effective absorption with superior airflow, you are investing in a comprehensive solution for skin health and moisture management. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Can these underpads be used on a regular mattress? A: Yes, they can be used on any surface. However, they are specifically designed for use on low-air-loss beds to ensure the airflow from the mattress is not blocked, maximizing the skin-cooling benefits of the bed. Q: Are TENA Air Flow Underpads waterproof? A: These pads feature a moisture-proof yet breathable barrier. This means they prevent liquid from soaking through to the sheets while still allowing air and vapor to pass through for better skin health. Q: How often should I change the underpad? A: For optimal hygiene and skin health, it is recommended to change the underpad immediately after it becomes soiled or wet. Even with high breathability, keeping dry skin is the best way to prevent irritation. Q: Do these pads have adhesive strips to keep them in place? A: TENA Air Flow Underpads typically do not feature adhesive strips to maintain maximum breathability across the entire surface area, though their textured backsheet helps minimize shifting on the bed. Q: Are these suitable for heavy overnight use? A: These pads are rated for moderate absorbency. For heavy nighttime incontinence, they are best used as a secondary layer of protection in combination with a high-absorbency brief or pull-up.
