Linen Plus USA SwiftDry Underpads are engineered to provide superior moisture management, patient comfort, and operational efficiency for healthcare and long-term care facilities. Designed with advanced fast-wicking technology, these reusable underpads quickly channel fluid toward the edges of the pad to help patients remain drier and more comfortable throughout their care.
SwiftDry Underpads are specially developed to dry within approximately 10 minutes during patient use, while significantly reducing institutional laundry drying times by approximately 18 minutes compared to traditional reusable underpads. This helps healthcare facilities lower laundry costs, reduce energy consumption, and improve linen turnaround efficiency across daily operations.
Key Features and Benefits
SwiftDry Fast-Wicking TechnologyRapidly moves moisture away from the patient contact surface toward the edges of the pad, where it is absorbed by the soaker layer. This directional wicking design keeps the patient lying surface significantly drier than traditional underpads that retain moisture in the center, directly improving patient comfort during use and reducing the incidence of moisture-related skin concerns.
Self-Drying During Patient UseDesigned to dry within approximately 10 minutes during patient use. This self-drying capability allows the pad to recover to a drier state while still in place, meaningfully reducing how often the pad needs to be changed during a shift. Fewer pad changes per patient reduces caregiver workload, decreases the amount of linen processed, and lowers overall incontinence management labor costs.
Reduced Laundry Drying TimeSaves time, energy, and operational costs with approximately 18 minutes shorter dryer cycles versus traditional reusable underpads. Across a facility that processes hundreds of underpads per day, this translates to significant cumulative energy savings, faster laundry turnaround for better linen availability, and reduced labor time associated with extended drying cycles in high-volume institutional laundry operations.
100% Polyester Green FacingThe soft green patient contact surface is designed for quick moisture evaporation and active support of the SwiftDry wicking mechanism. The polyester construction facilitates rapid fluid movement through to the soaker layer while remaining gentle against patient skin during extended contact, and the green color serves as a consistent identifier for these performance underpads within a facility's linen inventory.
Durable Bonded BarrierHelps protect mattresses and bedding from leaks and moisture penetration. The bonded barrier construction with blue finish and dark blue thread edge reinforcement provides dependable waterproof protection that maintains its integrity through repeated commercial laundering, safeguarding institutional mattress assets and reducing the frequency of mattress replacement in high-use patient care environments.
Reinforced Edge ConstructionThe dark blue thread edging on the bonded barrier enhances durability during institutional laundering. Reinforced edge construction protects the pad perimeter from unraveling or deteriorating through repeated commercial wash and dry cycles, extending the working lifespan and improving the return on investment for healthcare facilities managing high-volume reusable incontinence programs.
Performance Numbers That Matter
Three-Layer Construction
Layer 1 — Top
SwiftDry Polyester Facing
100% Polyester — Green
The patient contact surface and the active wicking layer. The polyester construction facilitates rapid directional moisture movement from the center of the pad toward the edges, keeping the surface drier and more comfortable for the patient throughout use.
Layer 2 — Middle
Soaker Layer
65% Polyester / 35% Rayon — 8 oz
The moisture absorption and retention core. The 8 oz polyester-rayon blend soaker layer provides dependable fluid retention capacity, holding absorbed moisture securely within the pad and preventing it from being pushed back to the facing surface under body weight and movement.
Layer 3 — Bottom
Bonded Barrier
Bonded Barrier — Blue with Dark Blue Thread Edge
The waterproof protective layer. The bonded barrier prevents absorbed moisture from reaching mattresses or bedding. The dark blue reinforced thread edge construction strengthens the pad perimeter through commercial laundering, extending the lifespan of each pad in institutional use.
