Bed Shower: Prevents Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections
In-Bed Hygiene for Preventing Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs)
Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) are one of the most common and preventable healthcare-associated infections. They account for 70-80% of hospital-acquired UTIs, increasing patient discomfort, prolonging hospital stays, and contributing to severe complications like sepsis, endocarditis, and even death.
For patients with limited mobility, consistent hygiene is a challenge, leaving them vulnerable to infections. Traditional bathing methods often disrupt care routines, leaving patients feeling exposed and undignified. BedShower™ bridges the gap, providing easy, effective in-bed bathing that promotes both hygiene and emotional well-being.
The innovative solution for hygiene
Comfortable
Bed Shower™ provides a soothing and healing shower experience directly in bed.
Effective
Enables caregivers to shower bedridden patients much more quickly.
Hygienic
Bed Shower™ systems use fresh water and can be easily disinfected after each use.
The Critical Role of In-Bed Showering in Infection Prevention
Maintaining cleanliness, especially in perineal areas and around urinary catheters, is essential to preventing infections. Inadequate cleaning allows bacteria to flourish around the catheter site, raising the risk of CAUTI. Each day that a catheter remains in place increases the infection risk by 3-7%.
Research demonstrates that daily cleansing using antiseptic agents like chlorhexidine (CHG) reduces bacterial colonization and decreases infection rates significantly. Bed Shower™ makes this possible, providing comfortable in-bed showering while ensuring patients receive necessary perineal and catheter care without disruption.
