Patient bathing is an essential nursing activity and enhances the quality of life and well-being of patients. For immobile patients, a bed bath is the only solution to maintain hygiene and keep them feeling fresh. In addition, patient bathing plays a very important role in infection prevention and the preservation of skin integrity.
Medline offers various solutions to make patient bathing more practical for both the healthcare staff and patients.
