In-Bed Shower Systems for Burn Unit Patients
Gentle, Controlled Wound Cleansing Without Transport Risk
Burn patients require frequent wound cleansing but are among the most difficult to transport safely. Bed Shower Wib delivers controlled, temperature-precise wound irrigation and antiseptic bathing directly at the bedside.
How Bed Shower™ Addresses Burn Care
Burn wound infections are a leading cause of mortality in burn patients. CHG-based antiseptic bathing reduces wound bioburden and systemic infection risk. Bed Shower Wib's precise temperature control and gentle delivery make it suitable for burn wound care protocols.
Real-World Outcomes
Burn patients required frequent wound cleansing but traditional shower chairs and stretcher showers caused significant pain during transport and positioning. Infection rates from wound contamination during bathing were a persistent concern.
Bed Shower™ Wib™ was deployed to allow in-bed wound cleansing without patient repositioning, with precise temperature control to minimize pain response.
Patient-reported pain scores during bathing decreased by 38%. Wound infection rates dropped 28% compared to the prior 12-month period.
"For burn patients, every movement is painful. Being able to clean wounds without moving the patient has been a significant quality-of-life improvement."

Yes. Wib's precise temperature control and adjustable water pressure make it suitable for burn wound care. The system can deliver sterile or antiseptic solution at the exact temperature required for wound irrigation without the trauma of traditional wound cleansing methods.
How does Wib reduce infection risk in burn patients?
Burn patients are highly susceptible to wound infections. Wib enables CHG antiseptic bathing directly at the bedside, eliminating transport-associated infection exposure while delivering the antiseptic concentration required for wound decolonization.
