Washable ABSO incontinence bed pads (reusable underpads) from Caretex: six models from light to heavy incontinence, washable at 90°C and registered as Class I medical devices.
Overview
Caretex ABSO reusable bedpads are laid on the bed under the patient to absorb urine, keep the skin dry and protect the mattress. Every model combines a quick-dry top layer, an absorbent core and a breathable waterproof polyurethane (PU) membrane, laminated together so the layers stay in place wash after wash.
Choose the model by incontinence level and use: from the light ABSO Micro to the 5-layer ABSO for heavy incontinence, the ABSO Slide for repositioning and the ABSO Eco Design listed in the German aids directory.
