TENA Regular Underpad 350 17x24 Light Absorbency
TENA® Regular Underpad #350 – 17" x 24"
Compact 17" x 24" Targeted Protection: Cellulose Fluff Core, Moisture-Proof Blue Barrier, and Brand-Name Dependability at Volume Economics
The TENA® Regular #350 is the compact workhorse of the underpad family—the pad care professionals reach for dozens of times a day. Sized at 17" x 24", it delivers targeted protection exactly where a full bed pad would be wasteful: on wheelchair seats, car seats, changing tables, commode chairs, and beneath the hips during daily hygiene procedures. The standard cellulose fluff core rapidly soaks up light accidental urine loss and procedural moisture, while the durable blue polyethylene backsheet traps every drop, keeping the surface below—upholstery, linens, or exam table—completely clean and dry through the task at hand.
Comfort isn't sacrificed for economy. The white non-woven topsheet stays soft and gentle against skin, minimizing friction irritation during the repeated placement and removal that procedural use involves. And economy is genuinely the point: TENA's Regular tier delivers trusted brand-name consistency at a price built for high-frequency use, packaged in a pack of 25 for home routines and a bulk case of 300 that keeps clinical carts, home health bags, and caregiving closets stocked for weeks of multiple daily changes. For budget-conscious home and clinical care, it's the dependable answer to the most common protection job there is.
Key Performance Features & Benefits
- Standard Cellulose Fluff Core: Absorbent fluff pulp soaks up light-duty moisture on contact, providing dependable protection for light leakage, drips, and hygiene-procedure fluid management.
- Moisture-Proof Blue Backsheet: The durable polyethylene lining is fully liquid-impermeable, trapping absorbed fluid in the pad and preventing leaks onto furniture, vehicle seats, and linens.
- Soft Non-Woven Surface Comfort: The gentle white topsheet minimizes skin irritation and feels comfortable against the body—important when pads are placed and swapped repeatedly through a care day.
- Compact 17" x 24" Targeted Size: Right-sized for wheelchairs, car seats, changing tables, commode chairs, and procedural draping—quick to place, quick to change, and free of the excess drape a bed-size pad brings to small surfaces.
- Cost-Effective Brand-Name Quality: TENA's Regular tier delivers the consistency of a leading continence-care brand at economics designed for high-frequency, multiple-changes-per-day use.
- Latex-Free & FSA/HSA Eligible: Not made with natural rubber latex, and purchasable with Flexible Spending Account or Health Savings Account funds.
Equipment Specialist Insight: Place the pad blue side down, white surface up, centered on the target zone—on a wheelchair, let the front edge reach just past the seat lip to catch run-forward drips; on a changing table or during hygiene procedures, position it under the hips before beginning so it catches fluid at the source. This is a fluff-only core designed for light, short-duration jobs: it excels at procedural draping, transfer protection, and catch-and-change use, but it is not built for extended sitting or overnight duty—fluff without polymer holds fluid loosely, so change the pad promptly once it's wet rather than leaving it in place under body weight. For sustained seated or overnight protection, step up to a polymer-core pad in a larger size. Used as intended—fresh pad per procedure or episode—the case of 300 makes the #350 one of the most economical pieces of equipment in the entire care routine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will moisture press back against the skin (rewet) if someone sits or lies on this pad after it's wet?
A: This is the honest trade-off of a fluff-only core: unlike polymer cores that convert fluid to a locked gel, cellulose fluff holds moisture loosely, so sustained sitting or lying body-weight pressure on a wet #350 can press some moisture back toward the surface. That's why this pad is designed for catch-and-change use—procedures, transfers, and light episodes followed by a prompt swap—where its economics shine. If a user will remain on the pad after wetting (extended sitting, overnight), choose a polymer-core pad instead, where gel-locked fluid resists pressure squeeze-out.
Q: Should this pad be used alone or together with a tab-style brief or pull-on?
A: In most care routines, the #350 works alongside body-worn products rather than replacing them. A tab-style open brief or pull-on chassis provides contoured containment on the body; the #350's compact format then serves as the procedural layer—draped under the hips during brief changes and perineal care to catch mid-change fluid, protecting the bed while the garment is off. As standalone protection, it suits genuinely light, promptly-changed situations: a car ride, a wheelchair transfer, a changing-table session.
Q: When is the compact 17" x 24" the right size versus the 23" x 36" hospital-standard pad?
A: Choose the 17" x 24" when the protected surface is small and the change cycle is fast: wheelchair and commode seats, car seats, changing tables, and procedural draping, where a bed-size pad would fold, drape over edges, and cost more per change—at case-of-300 volume, the compact format is the clear economy for high-frequency jobs. Choose the 23" x 36" when protecting a bed under a resting user, where the wider footprint covers the hip zone of a centered sleeper. Many care routines stock both: the 350 on the cart for procedures, the 352 on the mattress.
