Explore Symbliss®, what bathing should feel like
Explore our latest innovation in hygiene, the Symbliss® bath and chair, a unique person-centered bathing solution that provides a feeling beyond clean.
Maintaining hygiene is an important element of quality of life
A well-assisted hygiene routine contributes to comfort, safety, well-being and dignity of the individual.¹ It promotes relaxation whilst maximizing wellness in addition to cleaning. Our Hygiene and wellness solutions allows the caregiver and the residents to have a choice that best suits the functional mobility needs and individual preference.
Making hygiene routines safer and easier for caregivers
Since the creation of Arjo over sixty years ago, improving the hygiene care experience for patients, residents and caregivers has been at the very heart of what we do.
Without access to appropriate equipment, hygiene care can be hazardous as static overload and physical strain puts caregivers at risk of injury.² Our solutions offer options to reduce this risk and at the same time save valuable time.³
Clinical decision making for hygiene and wellness
We recognise that clinical decision making is complex and should be based upon the best available evidence. We invite you to review this clinical resource providing examples of evidence supporting the use of hygiene and bathing solutions.
You can download the Clinical Evidence summary.
Accessories to support comfort and dignity
Arjo Hygiene Comfort collection are accessories designed to enable the caregiver to tailor the level of comfort and dignity during hygiene routines, ensuring a person-centred care approach.
Read our Clinical Focus document on Comfort and dignity in hygiene care.
Hygiene solutions benefits everyone
Did you know that 5.2 hours can be saved daily using height adjustable hygiene equipment and without the right equipment, caregivers are also often at risk of injury.¹ ³ ⁴ ⁶
Using height-adjustable and ergonomic solutions gives you the time for other activities, create opportunities for wellness and generate cost-savings.
Enable one-to-one care in sound working postures
For everyday hygiene needs we offer a wide selection of showering solutions to enable one-to-one interaction with your patient or resident whilst working in an ergonomically sound position.
Our range of showering chairs and trolleys are designed for quality, efficiency, comfort and dignity across mobility levels that also preserve caregiver safety and time.
Reducing caregiver risk during assisted bathing
Bathing has been recognised as a pleasurable relaxing experience for centuries. Bathing is a basis for hygiene, in addition it can promote a sense of well-being. A warm bath can relax both muscles and mind.⁵
Bathing is becoming even more important for individuals with impaired mobility and cognitive function. During the bathing process the resident or patient can be encouraged to take part and wash as much of himself as possible. This provides an opportunity to help maintain dignity and a level of independence.
Hygiene lifters - for transfer during the bathing routine
Using a bath lifter to reduce the risk for the resident or patient falling and to avoid strain on the staff is to be recommended in most cases. Our bathing solutions are fully integrated with a wide range of bath lifters, mobility and lifting aids, allowing you to transport residents and patients from bed or wheelchair into the bath and back again.
