  • Head bathing arrangement
    Patent number: 6047706
    Abstract: A head bathing system for haircare. The system is composed of an outer cap having a head-receiving aperture, an inner, absorbent liquid-holding layer, and a flexible gathering for the cap at the aperture. The liquid-holding layer is impregnated with a cleansing solution. To clean a person's hair, the system is applied to the person's head, which is massaged through the cap to cause the cleansing solution to wet the person's hair. After sufficient cleaning, the system is removed from the person's head. Because of the nature of the liquid-holding layer, it reabsorbs much of the cleansing solution before the system is removed from the person's head.

  • Patient bathing system and washcloth for body cleansing
    Patent number: 6029809
    Abstract: A patient bathing system in the form of a sealed, flexible outer package and having at least one impregnated washcloth disposed therewithin. The washcloth is formed of a blended cloth comprising rayon and polyester fibers which have been mechanically entangled, with the quantity by weight of the rayon fibers being much greater than the quantity by weight of the polyester fibers. A cleansing solution impregnates the blended cloth with the cleansing solution being generally uniformly distributed throughout the cloth and being generally non-migratory. The amount of the cleansing solution is far less than the absorbency of the washcloths.

  • Patient bathing system
    Patent number: 5906278
    Abstract: A patient bathing system in the form of a sealed, flexible, hollow outer package having an inner insulating layer lining the package and forming an inner cavity. The layer is shaped by slits for forming the inner cavity. A series of impregnated washcloths are disposed within the cavity for dispensing through an elongated dispensing slit in the outer package. The package and the insulating layer are preferably microwave transparent while the impregnated washcloths absorb microwave energy so that the contents of the package can be warmed while heat is retained by the insulating layer.
