ARJO – Patient Handling Equipment, Hygiene Systems, Wound Care and Infection Control
Heavy lifting, incorrect working positions and stress are often a part of the working environment in the care sector. In many cases this leads to work injuries among staff, with high costs for sick leave and rehabilitation. ARJO contribute to finding the right answer to these problems by providing solutions that improve the working environment for staff and increase quality of life for the elderly, and disabled in need of care. The product range covers bath, shower and hydrotherapy products, support equipment for patient handling, and clinically tested mattresses for the treatment and prevention of pressure sores. Whatever needs of your residents and carers, ARJO provides the optimum solution.

HYGIENE SYSTEMS – SOLUTIONS FOR BATHING, SHOWERING AND HYDROTHERAPY

Everyday showering is becoming more common within long-term care as a solution for high frequency hygiene routines. But the way it is carried out is of crucial importance for the quality of care.
