Minimum wiping pressure and number of wipes that can remove dirt during bed baths using disposable towels: a multi-study approach

BACKGROUND: Friction irritation by wiping increases the risk of skin problems. In bed baths with cotton towels, wiping three times with weak pressure (10–20 mmHg ≈ 1333–2666 Pa) can remove dirt while maintaining skin barrier function. However, few studies have examined the appropriate frictional irr...
