Description
The Quik-Sorb Reusable Underpad with Straps builds repositioning straps into the 34 x 35 inch washable birdseye pad so caregivers can use the pad itself to reposition the patient. It is the workhorse pad for facilities that turn patients on a schedule and for home caregivers doing the same work.
- Repositioning Straps – Straps are built into the pad's sides – boost and turn the patient with the pad, not by the arms
- Full Bed-Zone Size – 34 x 35 inches covers the sleep zone – absorbency where turning patients need it most
- Birdseye Cotton Face – 100 percent cotton birdseye top layer – soft and cool against the skin during long turns
- Washable to 300 – The manufacturer rates the pad for up to 300 washings – one pad serves a long turning program
One Pad That Protects the Bed and Moves the Patient
Turning a patient every two hours is standard skin care, and it usually takes a draw sheet plus an underpad. This Quik-Sorb variant merges the two: the pad carries side straps rated for patient handling, so the same washable birdseye pad that protects the mattress becomes the sheet the care team pulls to boost or turn.
The absorbent side is the line's standard construction, a cotton birdseye face that absorbs and traps wetness over a non-leak, non-slip bottom layer, washable up to 300 times by the manufacturer's rating. At 34 by 35 inches it covers the bed zone fully, and a small rotation of pads keeps scheduled turning programs supplied.

Why Straps Belong on a Turning Pad
Repositioning is where caregivers get hurt and where skin gets sheared. A pad with straps gives the team a proper grip at the patient's center of mass, so turns are smoother for the patient and safer for the staff doing them every two hours.
- Two Jobs, One Product – Absorbent pad and repositioning sheet in a single washable item – less linen layered under the patient
- Better Grip, Less Shear – Handles at the sides pull evenly – the patient moves with the pad instead of being dragged across it
- Turns Without a Transfer Sheet – The straps are already under the patient – repositioning starts without sliding another sheet in
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the handles for?
The manufacturer builds the side handles in for easy patient handling. Caregivers use them to boost and reposition the patient with the pad.
How many pads are in this listing?
This listing is one pad, sold individually. The pad measures 34 x 35 inches with repositioning straps on both sides.
How long will the pads last?
The manufacturer rates Quik-Sorb pads for up to 300 washings each. Careful laundering is how a pad reaches that rating, so follow the care instructions with every wash.
Does the backing leak?
A durable non-leak bottom layer keeps fluid in the pad instead of the bedding. It also grips so the pad does not slide on the sheet.
Is the top layer really cotton?
Yes, the face is 100 percent cotton birdseye. Fluid blocking is handled underneath, in the bottom layer.
