The Wishower

A full shower, right in bed

The Wishower brings running water to the bedside. Its 28 L clean water tank is heated to 37 or 38 °C and held there throughout the care, while the suction hose draws the used water back into a separate tank. No transfer to the tub room or onto a shower trolley, and one full tank washes up to two residents, depending on the resident. Designed and made in Canada, the Wishower is in use in more than 70 care centres across seven provinces.

  • The Wishower touchscreen at the end of the decontamination cycle

    Internal decontamination

    After care, the screen guides a cycle that draws about 2 L of disinfecting solution through the internal circuit, then drains it.

How it works

Four easy steps

  1. Fill and set the temperature

    Pour warm water into the 28 L clean water tank until four bars show on the screen. Choose 37 or 38 °C.

  2. Bring it to the bed

    Roll the Wishower to the foot of the bed and set the two front brakes. Clamp the towel and the waterproof cover to the headboard and footboard.

  3. Shower in bed

    Start Shower and Suction on the screen. Wash the resident according to your protocols while the suction hose draws the water back.

  4. Drain and disinfect

    In a bathroom, drain the wastewater and run the internal disinfection cycle. The resident stays wrapped in the bed-size towel.

For care teams

Bathing that comes to the room

  • No transfer to the tub room or onto a shower trolley.
  • Two pushing handles and four 125 mm wheels, two with foot brakes, to move it from room to room.
  • One full tank washes up to two residents, depending on the resident.
  • The shower itself takes about 15 minutes. From preparation to cleaning and decontamination, a trained attendant completes the whole cycle in under 30 minutes.
  • One trained attendant can do it alone. Some facilities’ protocols call for two.

Questions about the Wishower

Another question? Ask our team

Do nurses still give bed baths?

Yes. A bed bath with a basin and washcloths is given to residents who cannot leave the bed. The Wishower is another option for them: a shower with running water in the bed, with the water drawn back by suction.

Is there such a thing as a shower bed?

A shower trolley, sometimes called a shower bed, is a stretcher on which a person is washed lying down in a shower room. The Wishower takes another approach: it brings the shower to the person in their own bed, with a waterproof cover that turns the bed into a basin.

Explore shower trolleys

How often should a bedridden patient be bathed?

Bathing frequency is set by your care plan and each resident's needs. LIOMAR does not give clinical advice. With one full 28 L tank, the Wishower can wash up to two residents, depending on the resident, before it is refilled.

Does a sponge bath get you clean?

A sponge bath washes the skin with a basin of water and a cloth. The Wishower washes with running water from a shower head, drawn from a clean water tank, while a suction hose collects the used water in a separate tank. Your care protocols decide which method suits each resident.

How do you wash a bedridden patient's hair?

In bed, with a basin that supports the head and holds the water. The optional Wishower shampoo basin holds up to 6 L and supports the shoulders, neck and head; the Wishower suction tip can empty it through its drain hole. It can also be used without the Wishower.

Explore accessories

What if a resident refuses to shower?

Each facility follows its own approach for residents who refuse care. With the Wishower, the shower takes place in the resident's own bed and room: there is no trip to the shower room, and a towel can cover the resident for privacy.

Can the Wishower be used on a bariatric bed?

Yes. The large reusable cover fits regular and bariatric beds, the XL reusable cover fits bariatric beds, and the universal disposable cover fits standard and bariatric beds. According to the Wishower user manual, it can be used on all types of mattresses and bed frames.

How much does the Wishower cost?

The price is given with a quote, configured for your facility with its accessories. The Wishower is part of HealthPRO Canada's Innovation Supply Agreement. Ask LIOMAR for purchasing information.
