Attends® Care Dri-Sorb® Heavy Absorbency Underpads - 23" x 36"
Attends® Care Dri-Sorb® Advanced Underpads
Cellulose and Super-Absorbent Polymer Core Mat, Waterproof Blue Poly Backsheet Film, Non-Woven Rapid Moisture Wicking, and Wider Rectangular Coverage
The Attends® Care Dri-Sorb® Advanced Underpads (Model UFS-236) deliver an exceptional, highly reliable everyday fluid barrier engineered for individuals managing heavy urinary or fecal incontinence. Sourcing efficient, cost-effective containment solutions for residential bedding, seating, or medical procedure prep is critical to preventing surface degradation and cross-contamination. The Dri-Sorb® platform addresses these core clinical requirements systematically, utilizing an elongated rectangular 23 x 36 inch layout that provides superior horizontal or vertical coverage across targeted moisture strike zones.
At the center of its high-performance protective design is an advanced core blend pairing premium cellulose fibers with high-density super-absorbent polymers (SAP). This composite mat quickly locks away sudden fluid volume, transforming moisture into an isolated internal gel layer while actively neutralizing alkaline-based ammonia odors. The top surface incorporates a cloth-like, non-woven textile sheet that accelerates fluid transport away from skin tissue to preserve a dry microclimate, while a heavy-duty waterproof blue poly backsheet establishes an uncompromised barrier seal against linens and furniture upholstery 100% of the time.
Key Features & Benefits
- Polymer-Enhanced Absorbent Mat: Specialized cellulose and SAP core matrix locks in heavy moisture volume far more efficiently than economy fluff-only lines.
- Advanced Moisture-Wicking Topsheet: Soft, cloth-like non-woven facing layer quickly routes dampness down into the core, protecting delicate skin integrity.
- 100% Waterproof Poly Backsheet: Durable blue polyethylene backing acts as an absolute defensive wall, entirely preventing any liquid pass-through to sheets or cushions.
- Optimized 23" x 36" Rectangular Geometry: Wider dimensions are perfectly shaped for cross-mattress positioning, wheelchairs, electronic lift chairs, and clinical exam procedures.
- Active Odor Containment: High-density absorbent polymers trap volatile odor molecules inside the core, keeping the immediate room environment fresh and dignified.
- FSA/HSA Approved Supply: Fully qualified under standard healthcare spending accounts to optimize daily care budgets for families and professional providers.
Incontinence Specialist Insight: Sourcing a rectangular 23" x 36" underpad with integrated SAP, like the Dri-Sorb series, is crucial for preserving sacral skin health during extended rest. Standard fluff chux compress under body weight, forcing trapped moisture back upward where it compromises the skin barrier and accelerates tissue breakdown. Because the Dri-Sorb matrix chemically binds liquid on contact, it maintains structural integrity under pressure, significantly reducing manual bed linen changes and maximizing user comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of a blended cellulose/SAP core over standard paper fluff pads?
Standard grocery-grade chux use only basic paper fluff, which breaks apart, clumps, and lets moisture travel backward under body pressure. Attends infuses its Dri-Sorb core with Super-Absorbent Polymers (SAP). These particles lock fluid into an uncompromised gel state, keeping the top layer dry and preventing leaks under real-world body force.
How should the 23" x 36" rectangular shape be aligned on a standard home care mattress?
For maximum overnight security, we suggest positioning the pad horizontally across the width of the mattress, placing the center directly beneath the hips and sacral zone. The 36-inch length provides extensive lateral safety boundaries to catch fluid if the user turns or rolls over in bed.
Can these single-use underpads be safely used to reposition or slide a patient up in bed?
No. These pads feature a high-density, waterproof poly backing designed to prevent leaks and remain stable on fabrics, but they are not intended for heavy mechanical repositioning. If your homecare setup demands an underpad certified specifically for manual patient turning and lifting, we suggest checking our high-tensile Attends Supersorb Advanced Series.
