Alerta Washable Incontinence Chair Pad, Waterproof, 1 Litre Absorbency, 5 Colours
- 1L Absorbency - integral waterproof barrier prevents moisture strike-through to chair upholstery and armchair cushions across standard residential and care seating; suited for moderate urinary incontinence without requiring a separate disposable liner layer.
- 5 Colour Options - Brown, Dark Green, Wine, Petrol Blue, and Tartan colourways support individual resident colour preference; enabling care teams to document personal choice in care plans directly supports CQC Regulation 10 dignity compliance during CQC inspection.
- 300-Wash Guarantee - machine washable at 40°C and low heat tumble dryable; the 300-wash product life meets HTM 01-04 thermal decontamination requirements for reusable continence products in care home laundry cycles, delivering long-term procurement savings over disposable equivalents.
- Discreet 50x60cm Format - tailored pad dimensions suit standard care chairs and recliners without overhang; the neutral fabric surface avoids signalling clinical function in communal lounge settings, maintaining resident dignity under CQC Regulation 10 person-centred care standards.

Regulatory Compliance
NICE NG213 (urinary incontinence) supports absorbent products as part of a structured continence management plan. CQC Regulation 10 (person-centred care) requires that care environments respect dignity; the five colour options directly support compliance by enabling resident choice in continence products. NHS IPC guidelines and HTM 01-04 thermal disinfection standards are met by the 40°C machine wash and low-heat drying specification, which maintain waterproof barrier integrity while achieving microbial decontamination between uses.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this pad be used on a pressure relief cushion?
Yes. The slim, flat profile is compatible with standard pressure relief cushion covers. Avoid folding or creasing the pad during placement, as surface irregularities can create localised pressure points inconsistent with NICE CG179 tissue viability guidance for individuals at risk of pressure ulcers.
How do the 5 colour options support CQC inspection readiness?
CQC Regulation 10 assessors look for evidence that care environments respect individuality. Documented person-centred practice in continence care - including offering residents a choice of colour - is a tangible compliance indicator. The five options allow care homes to record resident preference in care plans and demonstrate dignity in practice during inspection.
