Now the hand wash can be taken to the patient!

The new Patientwash portable hot water hand wash unit from TEAL allows people to take control of their own cleanliness when confined to bed – rather than relying on busy nursing or care staff to help them.

Lightweight and easy to carry, the insulated unit can be located on a convenient flat surface allowing patients to wash their hands before eating, after going to the toilet or when they want to freshen up.

When filled the Patientwash contains enough pre heated water for up to ten thorough hand washes. It is completely self contained with a unique Waste-Safe® to retain all dirty water for disposal at the end of the day.

Particularly useful for elderly long-term patients who may be being nursed in their own homes, the Patientwash provides running hot water without the need for fixed plumbing.

With mobility problems often meaning elderly patients having to sleep in a downstairs room with no washing facilities, having a Patientwash can make the situation easier and alleviate the need for tiring trips to a toilet or bathroom.

In hospitals and care homes, a Patientwash by the side of the bed means people can wash their hands when they want to and are not reliant on nursing staff to help them to the nearest sink.

A specially designed frame on wheels is also available to make moving the unit between beds easier.
