The SwitleBody Wash System, showcased at CES 2025, directly addresses a common pain point for eldercare: maintaining personal hygiene for individuals with limited mobility. Designed to address the challenges of body cleansing for people requiring assistance, this innovative device prioritizes comfort, dignity, and efficiency for both caregivers and patients.
How the SwitleBody Works
At its core, the SwitleBody system functions as a portable body-washing unit. The device features a water jet system capable of delivering gentle yet effective cleaning without requiring full-body immersion in a bath or shower. And unlike other bedside body washing solutions, the SwitleBody operates as a closed-loop water system. Dirty water is suctioned away and collected in a separate compartment, minimizing mess and simplifying cleanup.
The ergonomically designed handheld unit includes adjustable spray intensities, allowing caregivers to tailor the cleaning process to individual needs and skin sensitivity. Its portability makes it suitable for use in various settings, from bedside care to bathroom use.
I gave the SwitleBody a go on my arm at CES and it was comfortable, with just a bit of vacuum pressure on the skin and very little water leakage. As someone who has experience with aging parents, I recognize the SwitleBody’s value in delivering hygiene with dignity for those requiring assistance.
Availability and Pricing
The SwitleBody Wash System is slated for release in mid-2025. Pricing details have yet to be confirmed, but the company says it aims to offer competitive positioning to make the product accessible for caregiving families and professional care facilities.
