일회용 언더패드를 척스 패드라고 부르는 이유는 무엇인가요?

The word “chux” comes from the idea to “chuck” the pad after use. In 병원 그리고 nursing care, people wanted a short name for 일회용 언더패드. Staff began to say 척스 패드. Over time, the name stuck. Today, many people also say 언더패드, bed pads, disposable bed pads, or even blue pads. All these names point to the same goal: keep beds and chairs clean, dry, and easy to reset.

Here is why the name stayed common:

• Single use: you chuck it when soiled
• Fast cleanup in incontinence care 그리고 medical use
• Simple, short word that people remember
• Clear link to 일회용 언더패드 for beds and chairs

A chux pad has layers that manage liquid well. The soft top sheet pulls wet down fast. The absorbent core often uses fluff pulp 그리고 super absorbent polymer (SAP) to lock in liquid. A tough leak‑proof backing blocks soak‑through. Sealed edges help stop side leaks. Many add odor control for fresh air. Some include adhesive strips so the pad stays put on smooth floors. A quilted pattern can spread liquid to boost absorbency. After use, fold the wet side in, then chuck the pad. Quick. Clean. Simple.

People use 척스 패드 in many spots. In incontinence care, they protect mattresses, seats, and stretchers. In medical use, they help during dressing changes and other clean tasks. You may also see 언더패드 on exam beds and changing tables. Pads come in small, medium, large및 extra‑large sizes. Pick the absorbency level and size that match the job and the space.

So, why do we still say 척스 패드? The name tells the main point: this is a disposable underpad you chuck after one use. If you are choosing pads, look for a soft top sheet, a strong fluff pulp + SAP absorbent core, a solid leak‑proof backing, tight sealed edges, and real odor control. Add adhesive strips if the floor is slick. With the right pick, you keep surfaces dry and make cleanup fast.
