Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remain a critical challenge in medical facilities, affecting 1 in 31 hospital patients as reported by the CDC. These infections contribute to prolonged hospital stays, higher healthcare costs, and serious patient complications. BedShower™ systems, including Wib and Wibby, tackle HAIs with innovative bed bathing solutions that emphasize hygiene and infection prevention.
In the ICU, infection prevention is critical, especially for patients who are immunocompromised or have invasive medical devices such as central lines. Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are a major concern, with bloodstream infections (BSIs) and central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) being among the most dangerous. These infections are responsible for increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. The BedShower™ system is designed to address these challenges by providing an advanced in-bed shower solution that significantly reduces the risk of infection, enhances hygiene, and promotes patient well-being.
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a persistent and critical issue within medical facilities, impacting 1 in 31 hospital patients, according to the CDC. These infections lead to extended hospital stays, increased healthcare costs, and significant patient morbidity. BedShower™ systems—featuring Wib and Wibby—are designed to combat HAIs by delivering innovative and effective bed bathing solutions that prioritize hygiene and infection prevention.
HAIs are infections that patients acquire while receiving treatment in a healthcare setting. Common types include:

The BedShower™ system offers a superior approach to daily CHG bathing, making it easier and more efficient to perform aseptic in-bed showers. This system allows for the integration of 4% rinse-off CHG or 2% leave-on CHG solutions, providing the same infection-fighting benefits as traditional disposable CHG wipes but in a more efficient and sustainable format. BedShower™ can replace costly disposable 2% leave-on CHG cloths used in bed baths, reducing waste and costs while delivering superior hygiene.
BedShower™ is not only effective for patient hygiene but also offers a comprehensive solution for disinfecting surfaces and equipment in the ICU. With its automatic disinfection system and EPA-registered disinfectant, the BedShower™ system ensures that both its internal components and external surfaces remain free of contaminants after each use.
Research shows that skin microbial flora represents a significant pathogen reservoir for BSIs and CLABSIs, contributing to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Daily aseptic bathing with CHG has been proven to reduce the risk of infection by lowering skin microbial shedding and decreasing cross-contamination between patients and healthcare workers. Bed Shower™ facilitates this by offering a 4% rinse-off CHG shower or 2% leave-on CHG rinse, providing superior infection control compared to traditional bed baths or disposable wipes.
Key Feature: Bed Shower™ allows for an aseptic, no-rinse bathing solution that eliminates the need for water basins, reducing the contamination risks associated with traditional bed baths. The system ensures that even the most critically ill and frail patients receive hygienic care without discomfort.
The BedShower™ systems, Wib and Wibby, have been meticulously engineered to tackle the root causes of HAIs. Through innovative technology and evidence-based design, BedShower™ systems offer unmatched infection prevention features.
Healthcare facilities are high-risk environments where contamination extends beyond patient skin to surfaces and equipment. The BedShower™ system features an innovative misting system that ensures concurrent disinfection of beds, mattresses, and patient room furniture (such as tables, trays, and infusion pumps), reducing the risk of cross-contamination between patients and healthcare workers.
For ICU patients, maintaining personal hygiene can often feel invasive and uncomfortable, especially when dependent on others for basic care. BedShower™ prioritizes patient dignity by offering a less invasive, fully automated in-bed shower system that minimizes discomfort and enhances patient well-being. The system’s no-rinse bathing process eliminates the need for frequent handling of patients, reducing stress and anxiety while improving overall comfort.
The BedShower™ systems are transforming the landscape of infection prevention in healthcare facilities. With advanced features designed to address common HAIs, BedShower™ ensures that patients receive the highest standard of hygiene care while minimizing infection risks.
BedShower™ can transform how you approach hygiene and patient care, helping reduce the risk of infections and improve patient outcomes. How will you integrate BedShower™ into your hygienic care strategies?
