The TurtleTub™ has been exceptionally well received in hospitals – it is truly a developmentally supportive bath for pre-term and full-term infants that has been designed for infant safety, comfort, ease of use, and infection control.
The TurtleTub bathing system can be implemented in three ways:
1 - The TurtleTub functions as a single-patient-use tub. It is used one or more times on the same infant and then gifted to the family after discharge. This approach is the most family-centered and has potential to impact patient satisfaction.
2 - The TurtleTub functions as a multi-use tub in which it is reused on multiple patients with a clean, disposable plastic TurtleTub bath liner for each infant.
3 - A combination approach suggests that the hospital uses the TurtleTub on multiple patients with the liner, but single-use tubs are stocked to gift to families who would most benefit from having the tub at home. Extended length-of-stay, infants with NAS, families with minimal support systems, and infants in isolation should all be candidates for a single-patient-use tub.
