In-Bed Shower Systems for ICU Patients

Universal CHG Decolonization for the Highest-Risk Patients

ICU patients face the highest risk of HAIs and universal CHG decolonization is the highest-evidence prevention strategy. Bed Shower Wib enables daily full-body CHG bathing for ventilated, device-dependent ICU patients without transport or disconnection.

Clinical Benefits

How Bed Shower™ Addresses Intensive Care Unit

Daily CHG bathing without ventilator or IV line disconnection
No patient transport, eliminates hemodynamic instability risk
Full-body antiseptic coverage for CLABSI, CAUTI, and VAP prevention
Automatic internal disinfection prevents cross-contamination between patients
Precise temperature control for hemodynamically unstable patients
Supports universal decolonization bundle compliance
Reduces MRSA, VRE, and C. auris transmission in ICU settings
Single-nurse operation reduces staffing burden

The NEJM 2013 REDUCE MRSA trial demonstrated a 40% reduction in all-cause bloodstream infections with universal CHG decolonization in ICU settings. Bed Shower Wib is the delivery system that makes daily CHG bathing practical for ventilated and device-dependent ICU patients.

Case Study

Real-World Outcomes

Medical Intensive Care UnitNortheast United States
Challenge

ICU patients on ventilators and with multiple lines were at high risk for CLABSI and VAP. CHG wipe protocols were difficult to apply consistently to ventilated patients without disrupting lines and tubes.

Solution

Bed Shower™ Wib™ was implemented for all ICU patients, enabling full-body CHG decolonization without patient repositioning or line disruption.

Result

CLABSI rate decreased from 2.1 to 0.8 per 1,000 line days. VAP rate decreased 29%. ICU length of stay decreased by an average of 1.4 days.

"In the ICU, every intervention has to be evidence-based. The Wib delivers CHG where it needs to go, safely, without disrupting our most critical patients."

Outcome
CLABSI rate decreased from 2
FAQ

Common Questions About Intensive Care Unit

Can Bed Shower Wib be used on ventilated ICU patients?

Yes. Wib is designed for use with ventilated patients. The system delivers a full-body shower without requiring ventilator disconnection, patient repositioning, or transport, making it safe for hemodynamically unstable patients.

How does Wib support CLABSI prevention in the ICU?

CLABSI prevention bundles include daily CHG bathing as a core intervention. Wib enables thorough, daily CHG bathing that achieves the skin concentrations required to reduce skin colonization, the primary source of central line contamination.
