Skincair in de wijkzorg en thuiszorg

Skincair has been tested by home care employees from Buurtzorg, BrabantZorg, Thebe and by many occupational therapists active in community and home care. Skincair is being used by more and more home care organizations and therapists working in the home care recommend it.

Neighborhood care or home care employees who have the Skincair product tested by clients notice significant improvement in the self-reliance and quality of life of their clients because they can do more for themselves moving, laying more comfortably, sleeping better and more relaxed and being able to move more easily in bed. This applies to people with limited mobility, with conditions such as Parkinson’s, a stroke, spinal cord injury, Huntington, MS, more advanced stage COPD, etc.

For the home care worker himself, the Skincair eases the care actions (less strength and time is needed) and the bed change frequency is lower in many cases. The use of tools such as special mattresses, sliding sheets and bandages can be partly replaced, partly postponed.

The current Skincair can be ordered for home use on request.

In addition, a comparable product can be found on our consumer site www.sensair.nl. Sense Textile is developing a special product for home use.

Various benefits with Skincair at home

Lower change-over frequency due to elastic non wrinkling material

Skincair’s change frequency is significantly lower than traditional cotton bed linen (on average 2.5 times per week vs 4.5 times per week) due to the material’s creasing and wrinkling resistance. In case of small irregularities, the material is easy to clean with a cloth. The number of changes at Skincair is therefore lower and that saves time, fewer transfer sheets are needed and it postpones the first use of static and alternating air mattresses and sliding sheets.

Higher self-reliance and less burden on the care worker

Due to the built-in transfer and sliding function of the Skincair medical fitted sheet, the home care labour time can be used more efficiently and the physical burden on the home care employee is much less. Care activities, such as helping clients up and in and out of bed, require less physical strength. Patients with limited mobility can also get out of bed more easily and better independently on a Skincair, possibly with additional aids such as a bed parrot, so that in specific cases no help is needed at all.

Spring-loaded medical fitted sheet supports the body

The elasticity of the 3D structure ensures great laying comfort. It has excellent resilience, ensures good weight distribution and follow precisely the contour of the body. Even when you lie in the same position for a longer period of time, you will continue to sleep comfortably on a Skincair medical fitted sheet.

Better microclimate increases sleeping comfort and is good for the skin

The special composition of the Skincair material ensures that the bed stays dry longer and better. It does not absorb moisture and is therefore able to drain moisture quickly without becoming damp itself. Normally, the bed can feel wet or clammy if you lie in bed for a long time, especially if you move little. However, Skincair’s microclimate effectively counteracts this. Skincair users suffer less from heat and perspiration, sleep better and more relaxed and suffer less from skin problems and skin itching.

Satin soft and smooth material increases mobility

The top layer of the Skincair is satin silk like but also smooth. This offers the same advantages as satin bedding and related products, but does not have the disadvantage of satin that it ventilates poorly and can quickly feel warm and clammy. The smooth and soft surface of the Skincair feels nice on bare skin and the reduced friction makes it easier to turn and turn in bed and to get in and out of bed. The Skincair material also offers good ventilation so that the bed stays dry and fresh, even in case of excessive night sweats.
