The HiCare range of personal bath wipes are made for high-dependency bedridden patients in aged care and hospital environments with reduced skin integrity. Bath wipes from HiCare offer a comprehensive bathing solution that is strenuously lab and dermatologically tested which outperforms many other bath wipes in the market. HiCare bath wipes are made from a soft and thick non-woven fabric that is needle-punched and impregnated with a custom blend of emollients to moisturise and help soften the skin.
With each use of these luxurious bathing wipes skin is nourished and cleaned with no residue left behind. Traditional soaps and water can deplete the lipids from the skin, drying the skin out and increasing the risk of pressure ulcers. HiCare Bath’s blend of ingredients and emollients softens and nourishes the skin to greatly improve skin integrity, which means no further moisturising is necessary.
HiCare wipes can be heated or cooled to suit the patient. The wipes are pH balanced, free from latex, alcohol, and soaps and only the smallest amount of chemical preservatives are used. Bath bathing wipes do not promote any microbial growth and are discarded after each use. All HiCare products were developed in Australia.
