• Published studies have shown that there is risk of cross-contamination while bathing patients using a wash basin and cloth. • Hospital acquired infections have been linked to the use of wash basins• Hospital tap water has the potential to be contaminated. • Wash basins are used several times a day, often with different patients, increasing the risk of cross-contamination.

BASINS ARE A PROVEN RISK OF INFECTION

DYMACARE® PATIENT BATHING REMOVES THE NEED FOR BASINS

OUR DYMACARE® CONTINENCE CARE WIPES:

Most common contamination is likely patients‘ own bacteria.

When the basin is refilled, microorganisms are viable within the water.

When the basin is emptied microorganisms are retained within the basin.

Using the water from the basin the microorganisms are picked up.

Microorganisms thrive in wet and warm conditions, multiplying over time.

The next patient is cleaned with the contaminated water.

FRICTION

Incontinence Associated Dermatitis (IAD) is defined as "an inflammation of the skin that occurs when urine or stool comes into contact with perineal or perigenital skin."2

Skin damage from a pressure ulcer occurs from the inside out, but IAD starts from the surface and works inwards.

Research has shown, that perineal skin damage occurs in as many as 33% of hospitalised adults.3The odds of an incontinent patient developing a pressure ulcer is 38 times more, especially for patients with impaired mobility and faecal incontinence.4

Immobilised patients skin is pressed downwards which reduces blood flow. Friction increases skin breakage.

As skin is wetted with urine, the normal skin pH disbalances, which weakens natural skin barrier and damages skin

Faecal bacteria damage skin and it starts breaking up, letting the infection spread inwards over the short time.
