Care Aids

Single-use care aids make daily personal care easier in care homes, hospitals and community care. They save laundry, speed up routines at the bedside and ensure fresh material is ready for every resident.

Three sub-categories make up the range. Disposable wash gloves are available as a molton wash glove, a dry non-woven mitt and a pre-moistened, fragrance-free mitt. Disposable bibs protect clothing at mealtimes: for adults with a crumb pocket in two material versions, and brightly printed for children. For mouth care there are swabs with foam or cotton heads, glycerin swabs and a complete oral care set with toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash and lip care.

Typical applications

• Full-body washing of bed-bound residents and patients
• Protecting clothing at mealtimes in care homes and hospitals
• Daily mouth care for people who cannot manage it themselves
• Community nursing teams taking supplies into clients' homes
• Children's wards and nurseries using disposable bibs

What to look for when buying

Plan by care situation. For bed baths with water and your own wash lotion, dry wash gloves are the right choice; a weight of 60 g/m² is stated for the molton glove, none for the plain non-woven mitt. Where no wash water is to be prepared – at night or on the move – pre-moistened mitts are more practical.

For bibs, size and backing count: 38 × 60 cm for adults, 30 × 40 cm for children, each with a water-repellent back. For mouth care, choose between foam and cotton heads, with or without glycerin, or the complete set. Minimum quantities range from 30 bags of moist mitts to 1,000 foam oral care swabs.
