Bath Aids for Elderly: Hip Protectors & Perineal Bottle

Sitz Bath

The word sitz is derived from the German word for sitting, “sitzen.” A sitz bath is a warm bath in which an individual sits to relieve pain in the genital area, whether the discomfort is due to hemorrhoids, episiotomies, vaginal delivery, anal fissures or other conditions and infections.

Sitz baths are also found to be helpful for individuals suffering from incontinence (by providing muscle toning), diarrhea or constipation.

You can get a basin designed especially for a sitz bath, which fits over the toilet seat and allows you to soak your bottom in warm water to accelerate the healing process and offer relief from burning, inflammation and soreness.

Hip Protectors and More

Hip protectors are designed to either absorb the impact of falls or direct the energy of the fall away from the hip. These products are used by individual caregivers and nursing homes as part of a comprehensive effort to help keep fall-risk patients safe.

Other protective products include elbow protectors, sheepskin heel protectors for pressure sores, elbow pads and more.

Bath Aids for the Elderly

Other great products you can find in this category includes products that allow a caregiver to wash patients’ hair when a shower isn’t an option (with items such as shampoo trays or basins), provide a longer reach for patients with hip pain or other mobility issues, and more.
