A disposable bed pad, often the Ultra line, is what a search for mckesson underpads is for, and a pack of wipes is a different cart. Super, Classic Plus, Lite, and a scatter of inch sizes all ride along in the same query. These notes do not price any McKesson underpad. They price McKesson washcloths, and they price bed pads from other brands. No pad count from this brand is filled in from memory.
An underpad has a length and a width. It lies on a mattress, a chair, or a patch of floor. A wipe is a cloth you use during a change and throw away. The two products can share a supplier and still have nothing to do with each other at the cart. If the title says wipe or washcloth, close it and go back to the bed-pad results.
The priced McKesson listings are those cloths. McKesson StayDry wipes, 50 count, was listed at $20.39 when this article was written. Check Amazon before you pay. They are large adult incontinence washcloths with aloe and vitamin E, and the page says alcohol-free. The 600-count StayDry case, sold as 12 packs, was listed at $38.75 when this article was written. Check Amazon. That case is a wipe supply. It will not cover a mattress. The pack sizes are set side by side on FitRight and StayDry wipes.
What to read on an underpad page
The live page has to say underpad, bed pad, or chux, and it has to print two inches. Ultra versus a lighter line matters if both are on offer, because the name Ultra is not a size. Disposable versus washable matters, because one goes out with the trash and the other goes into the machine. A plastic back and a cloth-like back feel different under a sheet and grip the mattress differently. Plastic-backed and cloth-backed underpads walks through that choice without picking a brand for you.
Shoppers often hope the bag says 30 by 36, or 23 by 36, or a square around 30. Use those numbers only when they are printed on the page you are buying. A photo of a made bed does not contain a measurement. If the inches are missing, leave the listing. Do not copy 30 by 36 off a different brand and paste it into this cart because the word Ultra looked familiar. A case count belongs on the same page as the inches. A short pack and a full case are different monthly bills even at the same size.
Chair pads and mattress protectors are neighboring searches. A chair pad is cut for a seat. A protector often wraps the whole mattress. The underpad you came for lies on top of the sheet area you measured. Bed pads and mattress covers keeps those jobs apart. If someone else is reordering, have them read the last bag out loud: line, inches, and count. Brand alone is how a wipe case shows up instead of a bed pad.
Bed pads with a price, from other brands
These three are comparison points for size, not silent substitutes with a McKesson label. Medline Ultrasorbs, 30 by 36 inches, 70 count, was listed at $121.00 when this article was written. Check Amazon. The page describes a non-liquid-permeable backsheet meant to keep a mattress or other surface dry. Seventy into $121.00 is about $1.73 a pad if the price holds. Thirty inches of width is wider than a 23-inch search. It is not proof of what a McKesson pad in either size costs. The pack is on Medline Ultrasorbs bed pads.
PRIVA washable pad, 17 by 22 inches, was listed at $9.65 for one pad when this article was written. Check Amazon. That rectangle can cover a chair or a small zone. It is washable, and it is not a disposable Ultra case. A reusable pad, 36 by 76 inches, was listed at $39.99 when this article was written. Check Amazon. The page calls it waterproof, with tuck-in sides, for king and California king beds. That is a mattress-length cloth pad you launder. Disposable against washable is on disposable underpads and washable bed pads.
Order a McKesson underpad only when the page in front of you says underpad or bed pad, prints the inches, and is not a StayDry wipe. Use the Medline case at $121.00 when you want a 30 by 36 disposable these notes can price. Use the $9.65 pad for a small washable zone, and the $39.99 pad for a king-length washable. Recheck those prices on Amazon. A wipe count, 50 or 600, never becomes a bed-pad count just because the supplier matches.
