• Disposable gloves, towels, bibs, wash gloves. Fixing mitten for active patients Mittens for washing bedridden patients

The skin protects the body from pathogens and helps the body regulate its temperature. But only clear skin! If you do not regularly wash off dead cells, sweat and dust particles from the skin, then it ceases to perform a protective function and itself becomes a source of problems.

This is especially true for people who are bedridden. Firstly, they are constantly in an unnatural horizontal position, which impairs blood circulation. Secondly, bedridden patients often suffer from urinary and fecal incontinence, which contributes to the appearance of irritation and bedsores. Therefore, the hygiene of a bedridden patient should be performed regularly and with the help of special means.

Why regular soap doesn't work

The skin of bedridden patients is sensitive and usually dry (especially in the elderly). Therefore, it is very important that the washing of a bedridden patient takes place in the most gentle mode. Ordinary soap dries the skin, disrupts the acid-base balance and normal microflora. This negatively affects the stratum corneum of the skin, which performs a protective function.

Soap foam should be thoroughly washed off with water, and then wipe the body dry, but wiping can cause discomfort to the patient. And if the soap is not completely washed off, it is deposited on the skin in the form of lime salts of magnesium and calcium, causing itching and irritation. Therefore, it is better to wash a bedridden patient with the help of hospital hygiene products.

Specially formulated alcohol-free, neutral pH (5.5) cleansers for bedridden patients maintain the oil balance of the skin, soften and soothe it. In addition, cosmetic products for skin care of a bedridden patient practically do not smell and do not contain substances that can cause allergies.

What is the difference between washing bedridden patients and ordinary hygiene

Hygiene of a bedridden patient consists of three stages:

  • Gentle skin cleansing
  • Skin hydration
  • Protecting and nourishing the skin

If you simply clean the skin without the use of protective and moisturizing agents, there is a high risk of irritation, especially if the patient suffers from incontinence.

Since it is not always possible to bathe a bedridden patient in a bath (and sometimes this is simply impossible), special detergents that do not require rinsing with water.

Types of means for washing bedridden patients

All skin care products for a bedridden patient are divided into three large categories according to the stage of the hygiene procedure:

  • Skin cleansing products (foaming mitts and sponges, washing creams, gels, washing foams, cleansing lotions, wet wipes, shampoos without water, caps for washing hair without water)
  • Skin protection products (creams, tonics, sprays)
  • Means for moisturizing and nourishing the skin (oils, lotions, creams)

Means for cleansing the skin of a bedridden patient

Shampoo without water Ready to use, no rinsing or rinsing required. The shampoo is simply applied to the hair and dried with a towel. Even if a little shampoo remains on the hair, it will not affect their condition in any way and will not cause irritation.

Washing caps without water is a shampoo-conditioner 2 and 1, produced in the form of a cap. The cap should be put on the patient's head and massaged with light movements, then remove and wipe the hair with a dry towel.

The fixation mitt is intended for patients who:

  • remove diapers;
  • comb bedsores;
  • may interfere with treatment by pulling out a dropper or catheter;
  • prone to self-aggression.

The mitten is designed in such a way as to reliably and painlessly protect the patient from unconscious self-harm.

The use of such a filler has an additional calming effect - the patient can compress and roll them indefinitely.

Peculiarities:

  • The fastex fastener that fixes the mitten on the wrist is located on the back of the hand, which makes it impossible to unfasten it on its own (unlike Velcro, which the patient can unfasten with his teeth with sufficient activity);
  • The material of the mitten is dense 100% cotton, thanks to which the mitten passes air and the hand does not sweat inside;
  • Suitable for the hand of any size of an adult, while the length of the clasp is adjustable to the desired girth;
  • The lower part of the cuff is additionally sealed with a soft material to prevent vascular occlusion;
  • Filler - expanded polystyrene, has antibacterial properties, because. it does not contain organic impurities and bacteria, fungi do not start in it, it is not subject to decay and insects.

Indications for use:

  • If there is a risk of treatment violations (for example, pulling out droppers and catheters);
  • When the patient tries to remove the sensors of the connected equipment;
  • If the patient damages himself - scratching, scratching the skin, bedsores, itchy areas;

The strap should be fastened tightly enough, but not overtighten the wrist, so as not to disrupt blood circulation. If the mitten is too loose, the patient may remove their hand from the mitten and injure themselves.
