Question 1

What is an in-bed shower system?

Accepted Answer

An in-bed shower system is a portable medical device that enables bedridden patients to receive a full shower while remaining in their hospital bed or home bed. Bed Shower™ eliminates the need to transport patients to a shower room, reducing infection risk, caregiver injury, and patient discomfort. The system uses a waterproof mattress cover and integrated drainage to contain water.

Question 2

How does Bed Shower™ reduce hospital-acquired infections (HAIs)?

Accepted Answer

Bed Shower™ enables daily antiseptic bathing with CHG (chlorhexidine gluconate) solutions directly in the patient's bed. Clinical studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine and NEJM Evidence show that daily CHG bathing reduces bloodstream infections by up to 36% in ICU patients and reduces all-cause HAIs by up to 40%. The system allows thorough, consistent antiseptic coverage that sponge baths cannot achieve.

Question 3

What is the difference between Bed Shower Wib™ and Wibby™?

Accepted Answer

Bed Shower Wib™ is designed for hospital and healthcare facility use (ICU, acute care, SNF, LTAC). It connects to standard hospital plumbing for continuous water supply. Bed Shower Wibby™ is designed for home care settings, featuring a compact battery-powered design with a 9-liter self-contained water tank — no plumbing required. Both systems use the same patented waterproof bed cover and drainage technology.

Question 4

Is Bed Shower™ FDA registered?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bed Shower Wib™ is FDA registered as a Class I medical device. The company also holds CE certification for the European market and is ISO 13485 certified for medical device quality management.

Question 5

Can Bed Shower™ be used for CHG (chlorhexidine gluconate) bathing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bed Shower™ is specifically designed to support daily CHG bathing protocols. The system allows thorough, head-to-toe application of CHG solution while the patient remains in bed, achieving the consistent coverage and contact time required for effective decolonization — something that cannot be reliably achieved with traditional sponge baths.

Question 6

How long does an in-bed shower with Bed Shower™ take?

Accepted Answer

A complete in-bed shower using Bed Shower™ takes approximately 10–15 minutes — comparable to a traditional bed bath but delivering a true shower experience. Setup takes 2–3 minutes. The system is designed for one or two caregivers to operate efficiently.

Question 7

Does insurance cover Bed Shower™?

Accepted Answer

Bed Shower™ products may be reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance plans as durable medical equipment (DME) or as part of home health care benefits. The Wibby™ home care model is particularly positioned for DME reimbursement. Visit bedshower.com/insurance-reimbursement for current coding and reimbursement guidance.

Question 8

What types of facilities use Bed Shower™?

Accepted Answer

Bed Shower™ is used across a wide range of care settings including hospital ICUs, acute care units, burn units, trauma centers, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs), nursing homes, home health agencies, hospice programs, and palliative care units. It is suitable for any setting where patients are bedridden and require regular hygiene care.

Question 9

How does Bed Shower™ prevent pressure injuries (HAPIs)?

Accepted Answer

Regular showering with Bed Shower™ helps prevent hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) by keeping skin clean and free of moisture, fecal matter, and bacteria that break down skin integrity. The system also reduces the need for repositioning during hygiene care, lowering friction and shear forces on vulnerable skin. Clean, well-hydrated skin is significantly more resistant to pressure injury formation.
