Wash without water

The products in ABENA's green series are a good alternative to regular washing with soap and water as they do not need to be rinsed off. They make it easy to maintain a high standard of hygiene and are perfect for bedridden patients and individuals with thin and sensitive skin.

Why choose a product that does not need to be rinsed off?

No rinse products are convenient and effective to use when helping patients and residents who are bedridden, incontinent at risk of developing IAD (incontinence associated dermatitis) or have sensitive skin, with their personal hygiene. This method also helps to avoid getting bedclothes wet, which easily happens with a bed bath with soap and water.
