Octenisan Wash Mitts by Schulke are ready-to-use, rinse-free cleansing mitts formulated for gentle skin decontamination and full-body patient washing. Free from colours and fragrances, each pack contains 8 mitts (one per body area plus two extras), making them particularly effective for MDRO decolonisation protocols and bedside hygiene in intensive care, high dependency, and isolation settings across UK hospitals.
Key Features
Usage Instructions
Open the softpack and remove one mitt per body area. Cleanse the skin and allow the solution to remain for at least 30 seconds. Ensure thorough coverage of armpits, between fingers and toes, and skin folds. No rinsing is needed. For hair cleansing, Octenisan wash caps or wash lotion are recommended separately. For long-term daily use, a routine wash with wash lotion and water (e.g. weekly) is advised.
Applications
Widely used in NHS intensive care units, isolation wards, surgical pre-operative preparation, and high dependency care across the UK. Suitable for MRSA and other MDRO screening-positive patients requiring decolonisation body washes as part of infection prevention protocols.
