ADULT WASHCLOTHS

Professional Disposables International (PDI) announces new and improved Hygea Adult Washcloths, featuring enhancements inside and out. Hygea, a premoistened washcloth for adult incontinent care, now offers a reengineered package for one-handed dispensing, a larger, softer cloth that's gentle on skin, and an advanced formula with aloe, lanolin, and vitamin E. New one-handed, tissue-like dispensing permits continuous washcloth feed, significantly reducing cross contamination and ensuring ongoing care between caregiver and patient. Healthcare workers can also close the lid with one hand, and the new top seal ensures that wipes retain moisture.

AIR FILTER

The first-of-a-kind air purification system that minimizes cross contamination of germs and bacteria and reduces the risk of airborne infection is now available from Airsonett, Inc. The Swedish-designed Airsonett Airshower works on the principle of nonturbulent displacement and controlled thermal stratification, with very low remixing of the surrounding air. With this unique technology, "clean room" quality air is delivered to the patient's breathing zone less than three minutes after the unit begins operating, allowing for faster relief and treatment. Airsonett Airshower removes at least 99.95% of all airborne particles greater than 0.3 micron.
