TheraWash® Product Information
The human body
has good and bad bacteria on it at all times. Studies have documented
that patients often have a higher bacteria count after about their third
basin bath than they had before the bath. This is because the same water
and cloth are normally used to bathe all parts of the body and the basins
are reused without being sterilized. Bedside basin bathing can cause infections
by wiping bacteria from healthy skin into minor cuts and abrasions, dry
cracked skin, sutures, and catheter sites. Reducing infections, bed sores
and related skin problems can play a major role in extending the time
patients can be cared for at home.
While it is "only a bath", the TheraWash® concept is a breakthrough
in preventing and correcting skin problems before they require expensive
healing treatments. It is ideal for bathing patients being cared for at
home. It is a major improvement for facilities faced with ever increasing
geriatric skin problems, government controls, potential bedsore lawsuits,
and shrinking funds. Equally important is that it helps prevent infecting
caregivers as well as patients and can significantly reduce potential
injury from back strains during patient handling. Since it is antiseptic
and air-dries, it should also help reduce bed linen changes as well as
towel and wash cloth costs.
TheraWash® is a 2002 patented product improvement of our Easy Wash™
and Sports & Leisure Wash® products that we have been selling since
1996. TheraWash packages have 8 pre-moistened cloths that are used to
bath different parts of the body and discarded after use. This helps prevent
cross contamination and infections. The formula includes pure Aloe Vera,
Allantoin, and Vitamin E in amounts shown to be beneficial for skin care.
Allantoin is an FDA recognized skin protectant that also promotes new
skin growth. TheraWash also includes the first known water-soluble Beta
Glucan in amounts shown to promote cell growth and enhance the skin's
natural immune system. Even its surfactant soaps are known to reduce inflammations
and redness instead of drying out skin like harsh alkali soaps.
TheraWash® is made with virtually all natural ingredients and sterilized to provide for storage in hot or cold for over a year without any significant preservatives. Most commonly used preservatives are designed to protect the product not the user, and change into formaldehyde or other skin irritants if sterilized or activated to kill germs. Sterilization requires all ingredients to be highly stable and compatible with each other. Many other ingredients commonly used in competitive products are also altered by sterilization, which requires them to use large amounts of preservatives instead.
Sterilizing TheraWash® keeps its antimicrobial preservatives available even after the package is opened or reclosed. They are made from skin compatible natural ingredients. Please see testimonials for test results on killing bacteria, fungi, and viruses that can cause skin infections.
