The handle of an adult washable incontinence underpad with handle serves multiple functions to provide convenience and ease of use for the user or caregiver. Here are some ways in which the handle operates:
Portability: The primary function of the handle is to make it easy to transport the underpad from one place to another. The handle is usually positioned along one of the edges of the underpad, allowing it to be lifted and carried effortlessly. This is particularly useful for individuals who may have limited mobility or strength.
Positioning: The handle can be utilized to position the underpad correctly on a bed or any other surface. By gripping the handle, it becomes easier to align and adjust the underpad's placement to ensure maximum coverage and protection.
Removal and replacement: When it comes to changing the underpad, the handle assists in lifting and removing the soiled pad without having to come into direct contact with it. This adds an extra layer of convenience and hygiene, as it reduces the potential for cross-contamination. After removing the soiled underpad, the handle can also be used to easily replace it with a clean one.
Hanging storage: Some underpads are designed with a handle that allows them to be hung on a hook or railing for storing purposes. This feature is especially practical in bathrooms or closets where there may be limited space. Hangable underpads provide easy access and keep the pad off the floor, maintaining cleanliness and organization.
