TLC Positioning & Absorbency Products

TLC products bridge two everyday needs in patient care: keeping the bed dry and moving the person in it safely. When a caregiver or nurse has to reposition someone who can't easily shift on their own, the right underpad does double duty — protecting the mattress from incontinence while acting as a lift-and-turn sheet that reduces the strain of pulling a patient up in bed.

The TLC Positioning Underpad (555012) is built for exactly that. At 40 x 48 inches, it's sized to fit under the torso and hips with enough width on either side to grip and slide. The tricot top layer stays soft against skin, the foam core wicks and holds moisture at moderate absorbency, and because it's reusable, it launders and returns to service — a real cost saver for facilities and families running through disposable pads daily.

Two questions come up most often with a pad like this. First, how many people does it take to reposition? A larger positioning pad lets two caregivers work together to turn or boost a patient without dragging them across the sheet — which is what causes friction, shear, and pressure injuries. Second, how absorbent is "moderate"? It handles routine nighttime incontinence and light-to-average output; for heavy or overnight-only protection you may want to pair it with a higher-capacity pad or a brief.

Reusable underpads like this one belong in any plan built around skin integrity and safe handling. Explore related options in Incontinence supplies, or browse our full range of Underpads to match the absorbency and size your care routine calls for.
