BAGNOLETTO: a new help for the hygiene of bedridden patients

A budget, manoeuvrable, transportable alternative to the shower stroller

If you take care of a bedridden person, you surely know the importance of physical and psychological well-being and supporting the normal biological functions and the daily care of the body. Even when the patient is not self-sufficient, it is essential to try to keep his hygienic habits unchanged, supporting cleansing and hydration.

The method currently used is sponging.

This consists of washing the body with sponges (soaked in water or neutral detergent solutions), and drying the skin carefully. However, this method has many limits: sponges often cause irritation because of excessive rubbing (in these cases the skin is particularly sensitive). Furthermore, they do not always guarantee complete cleaning, especially in areas that are particularly difficult to reach (sores and interstices), and, if not properly sterilized they can be vehicles of infections (viruses and bacteria).

The other option, if the person’s conditions allow it, could be the assisted bath and shower.

A complete bath involves the use of a seat aid or of an electric lift, which must be installed on the bathtub, and the shower involves a wall seat or a wheelchair. Both methods are rather difficult to manage, they require more than one operator and can result in physical injuries or severe stress for the patient.

Allmobility Bagnoletto has been devised in order to overcome these problems. It is the best alternative to traditional aids; it is comfortable, practical, fast and ensures accurate cleaning, reducing operator stress and discomfort for the disabled person.

It can be used directly on patient’s bed, avoiding any incorrect handling of the patient

It offers all the benefits of a complete bath

It improves the quality of care and hygiene operations

It allows the use of running water in any conditions or context

It does not need electricity

Suitable for any type of bed (even without sides)

Fast and easy to use

BAGNOLETTO is a PVC sheet with stiffened side edges that are lifted and hooked together to form a con-tainer. It is positioned more or less in the same way as when changing the sheet with the patient on the bed. The operation is facilitated by the gripping straps.

The system has several water drainage points and straight or curved corrugated hoses that facilitate this operation.

The water can be brought from a tap with an extension, or the manual pressure tank (accessory) can be used. For professional use in residential or rehabilitation facilities, it is suggested to employ disposable sheets that can be used for every single wash.
