Key Benefits

Its inflatable design provides cushioned support for the neck and head, while the deep double tube construction prevents splashes and spills.

Compatibility and Applications
The Dukal Inflatable Hair Rinse Tray is compatible with standard handheld shower sprayers, water pitchers, or portable rinse systems. It can be used in hospitals, assisted living facilities, rehabilitation centers, and home healthcare environments. Ideal for washing hair of patients confined to bed or wheelchair, it is also useful for elderly care or post surgical recovery situations where mobility is limited.
Usage Guidelines
To use, inflate the tray fully and position it under the patients head, ensuring the neck opening fits comfortably. Place the drainage hose in a bucket or sink to collect used water. Gently wash and rinse the patients hair using warm water and shampoo. After use, drain the tray completely, rinse with mild soap and water, and dry thoroughly before deflating and storing. Avoid sharp objects that may puncture the vinyl material.
