The EZ-Shampoo Inflatable Hair Washing Basin makes in-bed hair washing manageable for home caregivers and clinical staff caring for bedridden patients.

Heavy-duty vinyl construction is durable and easy to wipe clean between uses. The included 2-foot drain hose with stopper allows water to be drained directly into a bucket or sink without lifting or tilting the basin, which is particularly important when the patient cannot be repositioned.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set up and use the basin for in-bed hair washing?
Inflate the basin fully using the valve until it is firm enough to hold its shape and contain water without collapsing. Position the basin under the patient's head while they are lying flat, with the patient's neck resting in the curved opening at the top. Insert the drain hose stopper to close the drain before adding water. Pour warm water over the patient's hair to wet it, apply shampoo, lather, and rinse. When finished, remove the stopper and direct the drain hose into a bucket or sink to drain without moving the basin or the patient.

How much water does the basin hold?
The 28 x 24 x 6 inch inflated dimensions provide a generous capacity for wetting, shampooing, and rinsing without needing to drain and refill mid-wash. Have a pitcher of warm water ready to pour during the wash rather than relying on a running tap, which is typically not accessible at the bedside.

How is the basin cleaned between uses?
After draining, wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild soap or gentle disinfectant solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before deflating and storing. Do not use harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners that could degrade the vinyl. In clinical settings, follow your facility's infection control protocols for cleaning reusable patient care equipment between patients.

Can the basin be used for patients who cannot lie flat?
The basin is designed for use with patients in a lying or semi-reclined position. For patients who must remain more upright, the basin may not adequately contain water. In those cases, a no-rinse shampoo cap or a shower chair with a handheld showerhead may be more appropriate. Consult your occupational therapist or care coordinator for guidance on the most suitable method for your patient's positioning limitations.
