Hi

We have just purchased plug-in electric heat packs. They are machine washable and we use a pillow slip to protect against skin.
This was mainly to reduce the risk of burns. Our Qual team is just in the process of developing policy around the cleaning and use. Im assuming if we wash between resident s they are then decontaminated for next resident. They are fabric.
I will be following for ideas.
Kind regards
Fiona
