Can Joey Bath Wipes be used for incontinent care?
The Joey Wipes Complete Bath System has been designed to replace basin baths. It was not designed for incontinent care. The Joey Bath Wipes are excellent cleansers and skin conditioners; however, Joey Wipes Complete Bath System is not cost-effective for a patient that is frequently incontinent. Joey Bath Wipes were designed to save a facility as much as 70% versus a basin bath. Wipes which are designed particularly for incontinence tend to be a much thinner cloth and have a different solution on them which is not ideal for bathing the whole patient but are cost-effective and appropriate for the incontinent patient. Therefore, any disposable wipes which are marketed as incontinence wipes and bath wipes will not give an adequate complete bath and may result in added expense to the facility and should be avoided.
