Salk HaloShield Antimicrobial Reusable Underpad, 23 x 36 Inch

The Salk HaloShield Antimicrobial Reusable Underpad is built with antimicrobial technology that kills 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria within 10 minutes of contact, addressing the source of urine odor rather than simply masking it. HaloShield protection is renewed with every chlorine bleach wash, maintaining effectiveness over the life of the product. The ultrasoft moisture-wicking top layer keeps users dry by pulling fluid away from the skin, while the super absorbent inner layer quickly traps and locks fluids in. A 100% waterproof backing protects bedding, chairs, and other surfaces from moisture damage. Non-irritating for sensitive skin and more economical than disposable underpads.

Ideal For

This underpad is well-suited for individuals managing incontinence at home who need reliable bed and chair protection with active odor control beyond what standard absorbent pads provide. Caregivers and home health aides supporting patients with limited mobility will appreciate the reusable construction, which reduces the ongoing cost and waste associated with disposable underpads. Long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and home health programs that prioritize odor management alongside fluid containment will find the HaloShield technology a meaningful upgrade over conventional reusable pads. Sensitive skin users who require a soft, non-irritating surface for extended contact will benefit from the ultrasoft moisture-wicking top layer, which keeps skin dry and comfortable throughout use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does HaloShield antimicrobial technology work?
HaloShield is an antimicrobial treatment built into the fabric. When bacteria contact the treated surface, the technology disrupts the bacteria’s cell structure and kills 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria within 10 minutes — actively eliminating the source of odor rather than simply absorbing it.

Does the antimicrobial protection wear out over time?
No. The antimicrobial protection is renewed with every chlorine bleach wash. Standard bleach laundering simultaneously cleans the pad and restores HaloShield protection throughout the pad’s usable life. Do not use fabric softener, as it can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce absorbency.

How do I wash and care for this underpad?
Machine wash with chlorine bleach to clean the pad and renew the HaloShield antimicrobial protection. Follow the care label for water temperature and cycle recommendations. Tumble dry or air dry as directed. Bleach is both the cleaning agent and the mechanism that restores antimicrobial performance.

How does this compare to disposable underpads?
Reusable underpads have a higher upfront cost but are significantly more economical over time — a quality reusable pad can replace hundreds of disposables over its lifespan. The HaloShield adds active odor control that most disposables do not offer, making it a strong choice where odor management is a priority alongside fluid protection.
