Key Facts:
- MUN Australia has launched GuardON Sustainable Underpads, a new healthcare product designed to improve patient comfort and hygiene outcomes whilst addressing sustainability priorities across aged care, hospitals, disability services, and home care settings.
- The underpads feature a 6-ply construction incorporating a Super Absorbent Polymer core, a soft biodegradable viscose topsheet, and a leak-resistant backing, offering reliable absorbency without compromising clinical performance.
- Biodegradable components and reduced plastic content have been incorporated into the product's design, supporting sustainability goals within healthcare procurement and reducing environmental impact.

MUN Australia has announced the launch of its latest healthcare innovation, GuardON Sustainable Underpads, designed for better patient comfort, improve hygiene outcomes whilst supporting growing sustainability priorities across care environments.
Underpads are a critical, high-volume consumable used across aged care, hospitals, disability services, and home care to protect surfaces from moisture and contamination. GuardON introduces a more responsible, performance-driven solution that aligns with evolving clinical and environmental expectations.
GuardON Sustainable Underpads are engineered to deliver reliable absorbency, everyday comfort, and reduced environmental impact, without compromising performance. Built on the principle "Sustainable by design. Superior by performance," the range balances clinical effectiveness with more thoughtful material choices.
MUN Global Australia Country Director, Leonard Brown, said the product addresses both operational and environmental challenges:
"Most teams find they use fewer pads due to better absorbency, so total cost comes down. However, the proof is in the pudding, which is why we're inviting customers to trial GuardON alongside their current product."
The underpads feature a 6-ply construction, including a highly absorbent core with Super Absorbent Polymer to lock in moisture, a soft biodegradable viscose topsheet for comfort, and a leak-resistant backing for reliable surface protection.
Biodegradable components and reduced plastic content support sustainability goals across healthcare procurement.
Designed for use across aged care, hospitals, disability services, rehabilitation, veterinary clinics, and home settings, GuardON delivers consistent performance where it matters most.
Beyond product supply, MUN focuses on outcomes, reduced leakage, improved hygiene, time savings for staff, and better patient and care results.
As a high-use consumable contributing to healthcare waste streams, underpads present a clear opportunity for improvement. GuardON represents a step forward, helping organisations maintain clinical standards while progressing toward more sustainable care practices.
