Evidence to support better care decisions.
CareBidet offers a different approach to bed based continence and hygiene care. Review the published research, Australian pilot findings and professional observations that can help you assess where it may fit in practice.
A professional view from the field
CareBidet in a supported care environment
Facility management reflects on how CareBidet fitted into daily routines, staff workload and the time available for resident care.
Insights from Clinical Practice
“I Strongly believe that the CareBidet is really helpful to manage pressure ulcers and it is lifesaving. I am recommending the CareBidet as a solution to not only prevent pressure injuries but other infections and diseases that a common with patients that are bed-bound or severely mobility challenged.”
Views from people working across assessment and care delivery.
Short observations from Australian professionals and care teams who considered CareBidet from different service perspectives.
CareBidet in Practice
A practical look at CareBidet from an occupational therapy point of view, including how it may fit into daily care for people who need full assistance with toileting.
“I believe CareBidet has strong potential to support higher standards of care across the Australian aged care and disability sectors.”
“The automated hygiene cycle helped streamline our workflow during shifts. Staff had more time to focus on residents’ comfort, hydration and supervision, while spending less time on manual hygiene tasks.”
“The CareBidet reduced the need for frequent rolling and manual handling, making hygiene care safer and more comfortable for both resident and staff.”
What the current evidence suggests
Skin and hygiene
A 2021 ICU study reported slower IAD progression in the CareBidet group over seven days.
Infection prevention
No UTIs were reported during the eight week Clover Lea pilot; this was observational reporting, not a causal trial.
Time and workflow
The 21 day home pilot recorded 16.4 hours of carer time saved across 115 automated care cycles.
Dignity and comfort
Facility staff described residents as calmer, cleaner and less distressed during hygiene care.
Manual handling
Staff reported less rolling and repositioning, with lower physical strain during hygiene routines.
Evidence and professional resources
Start with findings from Australian care settings, then review the clinical, assessment, service planning and implementation information most relevant to your role.
Direct observations from CareBidet use in Australian home care and residential aged care settings.
These findings describe one Australian home care pilot and should be read as setting specific observational results.
