Description
Omnitex Bed Bath Wipes are pre-moistened, no-rinse cleansing wipes designed to deliver a complete, comfortable bed bath without the need for water, a basin, or rinsing. Each pack contains 12 extra-large wipes — sufficient for one full-body bed bath — making them the ideal solution for patient hygiene in NHS hospitals, care homes, and home care settings where traditional bathing is impractical or clinically inadvisable.
Formulated with a pH-balanced, skin-safe cleansing solution, these wipes are gentle enough for daily use on sensitive, elderly, or fragile skin. They are latex-free and leave no residue, meaning no rinsing is required after use. Warming the pouch in a dedicated wipe warmer or warm water before use enhances patient comfort, particularly for immobile or post-operative patients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these wipes need to be rinsed off?
No. Omnitex bed bath wipes use a no-rinse formula — simply wipe the skin and allow to air dry or pat gently with a towel. No water or rinsing is required, making them ideal for immobile patients and care environments without easy access to bathing facilities.
How many wipes are in a pack and is that enough for a full bed bath?
Each pack contains 12 extra-large wipes, which is sufficient for one complete full-body bed bath. The wipes are designed to be used one per body area — for example, face, chest, arms, abdomen, legs, and perineal area — following standard bed bath protocols.
Can the wipes be warmed before use?
Yes. The sealed pack can be placed in a dedicated wipe warmer or a bowl of warm water for 1–2 minutes before opening. Warming the wipes significantly improves patient comfort, particularly for elderly or post-operative patients.
Are these wipes latex-free?
Yes. Omnitex bed bath wipes are latex-free and safe for use with patients and staff who have latex sensitivities or allergies.
Are these suitable for sensitive or fragile skin?
Yes. The pH-balanced, skin-safe formula is gentle enough for daily use on sensitive, elderly, or fragile skin. The wipes are designed to cleanse effectively without stripping the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
Are these wipes flushable?
No. These wipes are not flushable and must not be placed in a toilet or macerator. Dispose of after single use in accordance with your local clinical waste or domestic waste guidelines.
What is the difference between bed bath wipes and regular patient dry wipes?
Bed bath wipes are pre-moistened with a no-rinse cleansing solution, meaning they can deliver a complete bed bath on their own without water. Regular patient dry wipes are unmoistened and are used dry or dampened with water or cleansing foam. Bed bath wipes are the more convenient option for a full body wash, while dry wipes offer more flexibility for specific hygiene tasks.
