2 Vitmo offers products for new ways and efficient solutions, where doctors, nursing forces and emergency forces help small and big people. All Vitmo products like the care gloves, the patients underlays or the disposable patient gown have been developed for the different medical needs. Vitmo offers products for an improvement of the hospital and patient hygiene. Our products are innovative solutions to optimize the work routines and to lower the risk of infections at the same time. Every single Vitmo product makes the everyday work easier: The fire fighter cleans his hands easily with the care glove after his work. Physically the staff is relieved because the specially big disposable patient's clothes allows mighty patients to be treated without turning. All Vitmo products can be combined with each other, especially for special patient's requirements. The care glove as well as the four-part-disposable patient's clothes offer topmost application ability with A, B, C - decontamination. Sterility, long shelf life and quick transport ability, an easy and immediate use, quick access speak as "hardfacts" for itself. But in addition comes that the Vitmo products protect the dignity and shame of the patient. D-73732, Germany Kreissparkasse -Nürtingen

The moist wash glove for care allows direct washing and care of any part of the body without using water.the glove being provided with some hyperallergenic cleaning and body lotion removes any possible germ and even those substances which can be found after chemotherapeutic treatment. The body lotion leaves some protective layer on the skin. The hyperallergenic lotion has been tested in several university clinics with regard to its compatibility with the skin.the low ph value promotes some anti-bacterial effect by cleaning. The glove may be used immediately in cold condition, e.g. in the fields of emergency ambulance or medical military service. For nursing purposes, the glove may be warmed up in a micro-wave oven which gives the skin some even better feeling.

5 Patient s dignity future of patients clothes Vitmo - disposable and reusable patient gowns shorts and kimono Patients are quite conscious when undergoing some treatment or examination, and they are aware of the emercency staff being present. Direct contact with patients is one of the main reasons for absence of personnel having caught some infectious disease. Therefore vitmo health & care has disposable dresses: stylish designs ensure patients remain discreet and comfortable easy openings minimize manual handling requirements for medical staff patient s dignity carefully tailored to suit the needs of all patients including: children reduce the risk of MRSA infections This enterprise is concerned in particular with new, efficient products to reduce the risk of MRSA infections: crosswise contamination from one part of the body to another one or from one patient to the other or from the patient to the staff.
