Gussin GM, et al. · Clinical Infectious Diseases · 2025 · DOI: 10.1093/cid/ciaf704
80% reduction in C. auris shedding when residual CHG skin concentration ≥156 µg/mL — achievable only with thorough, full-body CHG bathing as enabled by Bed Shower™.
Directly validates the clinical need for in-bed shower systems capable of delivering adequate CHG concentration to bedridden patients.
Climo MW, et al. · New England Journal of Medicine · 2013 · DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1113849
Daily CHG bathing reduced MRSA and VRE acquisition by 37% and bloodstream infections by 44% in ICU patients.
Establishes the clinical foundation for CHG bathing protocols — which require thorough skin contact that traditional bed baths cannot reliably deliver.
Huang SS, et al. · New England Journal of Medicine · 2013 · DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1207290
Universal decolonization with CHG reduced MRSA clinical cultures by 37% and all bloodstream infections by 44% vs. targeted screening.
Supports universal CHG bathing protocols for all ICU patients — a protocol that Bed Shower™ enables for bedridden patients who cannot access traditional showers.

Manual patient handling causes 35,000+ nursing back injuries annually. Mechanical assistance reduces musculoskeletal injury risk by up to 90%.
Validates the nursing injury reduction benefit of Bed Shower™ — eliminating the need for manual lifting and repositioning during bathing.
Padula WV, et al. · BMJ Quality & Safety · 2019 · DOI: 10.1136/bmjqs-2018-007396
Hospital-acquired pressure injuries cost US hospitals $26.8 billion annually. Proper skin hygiene and moisture management are primary prevention strategies.
Bed Shower™ enables thorough perineal and skin hygiene without friction or shear forces — directly addressing HAPI prevention protocols.
Lo E, et al. · Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology · 2014 · DOI: 10.1086/675718
Perineal hygiene is a key component of CAUTI prevention bundles. Thorough cleansing reduces bacterial colonization around catheter insertion sites.
Bed Shower™ enables thorough, consistent perineal hygiene for catheterized patients — a core CAUTI prevention intervention.
Schedule a clinical demonstration and see how Bed Shower™ delivers the CHG concentrations these studies demand.
