Brands - Cavilon
Cavilon is a line of skin care items from 3M that includes cleansers, moisturizers, and skin barrier products. No-rinse cleansers eliminate odor from the skin without the use of water, making them ideal for those with limited mobility. It is ideal to follow up with a body moisturizer after cleansing to lock in hydration and keep the skin in healthy condition. Cavilon makes a skin barrier cream as well as a skin barrier film. Barrier cream forms a layer on the skin to help medical tape and other adhesive products hold better. Skin barrier film is designed to protect the skin from incontinence leaks, stoma output, and other bodily fluids. Skin barrier film is available in a liquid spray or disposable wipes.
Convatec Aloe Vesta is another great brand of body care items such as cleansers, skin barriers, and antifungals. The waterless, no-rinse formulas are ideal for those who are not able to bathe in a traditional shower. They use the power of botanical oils and pH-balanced formulas to soothe and moisturize the skin. Aloe Vesta products are safe to use on delicate skin that is at risk of breakdown. These products are convenient to use and the body wash can double as shampoo. If you are experiencing a skin condition such as athlete's foot or a yeast infection, using Aloe Vesta's antifungal ointment can clear the infection and relieve pain and itching. Please see our blog for tips on how to give a bed bath.
If you have limited mobility but want to bathe traditionally in a shower, a Medical Transfer Bench can help you do so. A transfer bath bench has four legs, two of which are positioned inside the tub and two that are outside of the tub. The user sits on the transfer bench and slides across the seat into the shower. This allows you to sit while showering, making for a safer and easier bathing experience. All of our transfer benches have a backrest, which allows for additional support and comfort. Some shower benches have a fixed seat, while others have a seat that slides and swivels. The sliding seat maneuvers so that you do not have to move your body across the length of the seat yourself. You simply sit down and the seat glides across the track.
A Medical Shower Chair allows the user to shower in a seated position. A shower chair differs from a transfer bench in that all four legs of the chair are positioned in the shower or tub. Therefore, the user must be able to step over the wall of the tub. There are several types of shower chairs available, including styles with or without a backrest and arms. The style without a backrest is best for those who can hold themselves upright while bathing. Express Medical Supply also carries transport wheelchairs that can be used in a shower. In order to use a wheeled shower chair, you must have a stall-style shower without a tub. If a person has incontinence, a shower chair with a built in commode is ideal. We sell commode chairs with or without wheels to suit your needs.
