Disposable underpads for Europe
Wholesale and private label underpads for European distributors, hospital groups and residential care. Known locally as alèses, Krankenunterlagen, salvacamas or traverse, they are the same product: an absorbent pad with a waterproof backsheet.
Europe is the largest market
Europe and the United States are the largest underpad markets, driven by ageing populations and the shift of care from hospitals to residential and home settings. European tenders specify by size and capacity, which is how PadsHealth publishes its range.
