CINCINNATI, Aug. 14, 2025 ~ Standard Textile, a leading provider of healthcare textiles, has been chosen to showcase their innovative reusable underpad, SURPASS™, at the upcoming Vizient® Innovative Technology Exchange. This event, organized by Vizient, the nation's largest healthcare performance improvement company, will take place on September 17 in Las Vegas.

SURPASS™ is a game-changing product that offers superior moisture control, rapid surface drying, and exceptional patient comfort. It has been designed to meet or exceed the performance of both disposable and reusable alternatives currently available in the market.

The annual Innovative Technology Exchange provides selected suppliers with a unique opportunity to demonstrate their products or services to supply chain and clinical leaders from Vizient's hospital clients. These leaders are also joined by subject matter experts who serve on their supply councils. The goal of this event is to showcase how each product or service can improve clinical outcomes, enhance safety, or drive incremental improvements in healthcare delivery or business models.

Standard Textile's SURPASS™ reusable underpad was chosen for its ability to offer a smarter alternative to single-use disposable underpads. While these disposable options may be convenient and effective, they contribute significantly to the healthcare industry's waste production of 29 pounds per bed per day¹ and increase long-term expenses. SURPASS™ not only meets or exceeds the performance of current options but also has the potential to replace up to 60 disposables over its lifespan. By minimizing moisture accumulation, it helps maintain a healthier microclimate² which is essential in preventing moisture-associated skin damage³. This results in a solution that not only enhances patient care but also reduces environmental impact and improves cost efficiency for healthcare providers.
