Maceratable patient cleansing dry wipes (washcloths)

Description

Conti® Maceratable Dry Wipes (Washcloths) are heavy-weight, large, cellulose-based patient cleansing wipes designed for full-body hygiene. Each 30 x 28 cm dry wipe combines strength, softness and high absorbency, remaining durable even when wet. The wipes are designed to disperse when disposed of in a hospital macerator (and are suitable for toilet or macerator disposal where local policy allows), providing a more environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic wipes. Manufactured in the UK by Vernacare, the Conti® Maceratable range is widely used in hospitals, care homes and community care settings for continence care and general bathing.
