This simple clip-on dispenser provides patients with easy access to detergent-based cleaning wipes at the bedside.

The problem
Currently, detergent-based cleaning wipes are not provided for individual patient use. Hand wipes and gels are not always in a convenient reachable position for patients in bed to use.
The solution
Empowering patients by providing easy access to a supply of cleaning wipes means they don’t have to ask nursing staff every time they want to clean their hands.
How it works
The one-piece injection-moulded dispenser has an integral clip that can be attached to bedside tables, cabinets and bed rails. Once a patient has finished with their personal supply of wipes the plastic dispenser can be recycled.
