Rinse free shampoo caps for bedbound hair cleansing

Description

The Conti® Rinse Free Shampoo Cap - Lightly Fragranced is a pre-impregnated, single-use shampoo cap designed to cleanse and condition the hair of bedbound or immobile patients without the need for soap, water, or rinsing. The cap contains a pre-dosed blend of cleansers and conditioners; when gently massaged over the head, the rinse-free formulation is released into the hair while the hydrophilic polyester/viscose fabric absorbs oil and dirt, retaining them within the cap. The quick-drying formulation leaves hair feeling clean, soft, and towel-dry when the cap is removed. The product supports good infection prevention practice by reducing disturbance to patients and eliminating the need for traditional hair-washing equipment in professional healthcare environments.

Usage

Wash and dry hands, then apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as apron and gloves, in line with local infection prevention policies.
If using a dedicated Conti® Warmer, remove the required number of caps from the warmer; alternatively, use the cap at room temperature as per local protocol.
Check the cap temperature before use to ensure it is comfortably warm and not too hot for the patient.
Remove the shampoo cap from its packaging and unfold it fully.
Place the cap over the patient’s head, ensuring that all hair (including at the back and sides) is covered by the cap.
Gently massage the cap over the scalp and hair for several minutes so that the impregnated cleansers and conditioners are released and the hair becomes thoroughly saturated.
Continue massaging to ensure even distribution of the formulation and to maximise the removal of oil and dirt, which are absorbed and retained within the hydrophilic fabric of the cap.
After the hair has been thoroughly cleansed and conditioned, remove the cap from the head.
Allow the hair to dry naturally; do not rinse the hair with water. Towel drying is generally not required due to the quick-drying formulation, but may be used lightly if desired.
Dispose of the used shampoo cap and PPE in accordance with local clinical waste policies. Do not macerate and do not flush the cap.
Do not re-warm or reuse any opened product; discard any unused caps from an opened pack as directed by local protocols.

Contraindications

Do not use on patients with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any component of the shampoo formulation or cap material.
Not intended for use on broken, severely irritated or infected areas of the scalp unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.
Do not use if the cap feels excessively hot after warming; allow to cool to a safe, comfortable temperature before application.

Adverse Effects

Possible, though uncommon, localised skin or scalp irritation, redness or allergic reaction in individuals sensitive to any of the ingredients.
In case of accidental eye contact with the formulation, temporary irritation may occur; rinse eyes thoroughly with clean water and seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
If signs of irritation or hypersensitivity occur, discontinue use and obtain medical advice as appropriate.
