Absorbent underpads are flat, disposable fabric sheets designed to absorb bodily fluids during medical procedures, childbirth, or incontinence care. Placed beneath patients on surfaces like beds or tables, they help maintain cleanliness and prevent fluid leakage in clinical or home settings.
These devices are typically single-use, non-antimicrobial, and regulated as medical devices rather than drugs. They’re widely available through healthcare providers, distributors, or retail channels, with compliance requirements varying by jurisdiction but generally aligned with safety and performance standards for absorbent materials.
