NEWcare concept
The challenges of traditional hygiene routinesPersonal hygiene is an important part of daily resident care, but it can be challenging to perform, especially for residents with limited mobility. Even basin bathing or sponge baths at the bedside can present risks and challenges for both residents and caregivers:
Skin health
As the skin ages, it becomes thinner and more delicate. Many soaps can strip away natural oils,
causing dryness and irritation if not properly rinsed off.
In addition, reusable washcloths can be rough and may damage
already fragile skin
Cross-contamination
Reusable basins and reusable washcloths can harbour harmful bacteria1
Labour intensive
The daily hygiene routine can be time-consuming and
physically demanding for both the resident and caregiver2
!

This caring and convenient solution is specifically designed for fragile skin, and can be used as an alternative - or in addition to - regular baths and showers.

eliminates the cross-infection risk posed by washbasins, cotton washcloths, soap and water.”
