Can this be adequately cleaned for use with multiple patients? For use in a hospital?

I don't think so. It's a woven material, not easily wiped down to assure that you disinfect all surfaces that could be soiled/contaminated.

My first experience with this item was as a patient in a hospital recovering from a massive injury and learning to walk again. It is worn over clothing and I assume it is machine washable. It is made entirely of nylon web material such as you would find on seat belts or high end luggage. The buckle is plastic. I bought to help care for my aging mother. It allows me to hold on to her by the waist with the straps on the back of the belt and help her out of a car without lifting her by the armpits.

i don't see any reason why not. there is no washing instructions with it but i see nothing to prevent cleaning. i don't think a washing machine would be needed either. some disinfectant spray on type and hang in shower to dry.

I don't think so. They are machine washable, but they have many seams, plus velcro, plus ribbed-type webbing. A badly soiled belt would have to be carefully hand-scrubbed with a brush. In the settings where I use the Posey, each individual owns his/her own belt.

I would think so. We just use an antibacterial soap with a tooth brush and scrub it. Never had a problem.

No. It is not therapeutic grade. Therapeutic grade is processed differently & costs significantly more. I'm still trying to figure out if it makes any difference for cleaning!

Yes it is cleanable.and everything can get dirty.. depends on how one takes care of things.

definitely not only will it help with hygiene and skin care. For a bedridden patient it is like giving a shower in bed.

Absolutely. I am a home care nurse and I use this device all the time on adults. It is fast, accurate, sanitary because it doesn't touch anything, and so easy to use. I also got one for my daughter to use with her children. It can be used for anyone. I HIGHLY recommend it. Most of my patients want to get one after they see how it works. 5 stars, for sure!

Very much so. I bought a second one for our family farm house. Cleaning and sanitizing is quick and easy. Plus no toxic or noxious chemicals.

No, they are re-usable. They are like the NICU one's that you throw away after one use. But considering the cost, I used them about 5 times max before desposal, I'd just wash them with soapy warm water. They worked fine. Glad our little one graduated from them though. They cost a pretty penny.

This is an excellent little display tank but would not be my choice as a quarantine tank. Quarantine/hospital tanks should be as bare and simple as possible. They should be easy to break them down and sterilize between uses, and neither lights nor substrate are needed. A bare 5 gallon tank with a small active sponge filter and heater makes a very good quarantine / hospital tank.

It's meant to be. They even give you stuff to clean it. I got 2 uses out of it but it took a lot. Wasn't worth trying again

to be perfectly honest with you, I haven't tried it so I would not know. However, I can tell you that to truly get the value of this cleaning solution, I would recommend you use a cleaning station.

If it just needs a minor cleaning, then yes. If it's pretty severe then I would try something else.

After each use you are supposed to clean it inside and outside with hot soap, lysol and bleach. There could be deadly virus and bacterias that are salt tolerant waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting victim

Very definitely. Since I use it for cats as well as people, I want to be sure it's clean.

Surgeons use this stuff to wash before surgery. It's fine to wash humans with it. Go look at Hibicleanse. It's perfectly fine for humans.

YOU NEED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER WITH THIS QUESTION. I bought them only for myself and my husband. I wouldn't use them on patients, unless they can be cleaned and steralized. There must be something like you need if you search with the right words to search for. Also look at places like Walgreens, Hospital Supplies, or for Physical Therapy items.
