Changing an absorbent brief in a bedbound patient
This video shows how to remove a soiled brief, provide hygienic care, and apply a fresh brief. For bedbound patients, the preferred style of brief is the flat, “fold-over” type, rather than the “pull-up” type. Home and Community Care will provide briefs for bedbound patients at no cost: contact your Care Coordinator to arrange delivery.
