The Osaka Kansai Expo is set to open in April 2025.
The "Ultrasonic Bath, the Human Washing Machine" by Sanyo Electric (now Panasonic), which attracted attention at the Osaka Expo about half a century ago, has been evolved by a former Sanyo employee into a highly practical "caregiving body washing tool."
*1: As of October 30, 2023, according
to a survey by Stella Associe Co., Ltd. The survey covered bathing equipment for nursing care and portable showers in Japan and overseas that dispense hot water and body soap.
The "possible nursing care problems in the future" that Toshio Iue, who was then chairman of Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd., spoke of are now becoming a reality as a reality as a social issue.
There are three major problems in particular in the nursing care industry.
Sirius sees "possible nursing care problems in the future" as modern nursing care problems, and in order to reduce the burden of nursing care,
they have developed an evolved version of the washing machine for humans, the "All-in-One Nursing Body Washing Device switle BODY"!
Caring for the elderly and those who require nursing care and helping them to maintain their independence is physically and mentally demanding.
Bathing is said to be one of the most difficult aspects of life support.
The concerns of facility staff who responded to the pre-survey were...
The all-in-one nursing care washing device switle BODY can be easily set up and prepared by a single caregiver, and allows the caregiver to wash the person in need of care while they are lying in their usual bed, without getting the surrounding area wet or dirty .
By using our special mild acid soap, you can feel as refreshed as if you had just taken a shower.
The all-in-one care body washing device switle BODY uses the unique "gas-liquid separation system" of the "water-washing cleaner head switle" released in 2018.
It sprays out water from the internal fresh water tank while simultaneously absorbing any water that comes into contact with the skin.
In addition, by adopting a "wet suction attachment (sponge head)" on the shower head, it is now possible to prevent water from dripping onto the bed.
The "wet suction attachment" has a highly absorbent sponge attached to the shower head, which absorbs the sprayed water while sucking up only the excess water, achieving even greater leak-proofing performance.
The sponge part of the "wet suction attachment" can also be used as a sponge for washing the body, allowing you to gently and thoroughly wash the body of the person in need of care.
The water temperature can be adjusted from 38℃ to 45℃.
A world first*1 that allows you to wash your body comfortably at your preferred temperature.
Just as you can set the temperature of a regular bath or shower, you can also set the temperature of the switle BODY to your liking.
The switle BODY is the world's first portable shower that can produce hot water (※1).
The switle BODY is a world first (※1) that provides a new, less burdensome method of caregiving for caregivers and a new, comfortable sensation for those in need of care.

to a survey by Stella Associe Co., Ltd. The survey covered bathing equipment for nursing care and portable showers in Japan and overseas that dispense hot water and body soap.
The sponge head can be easily replaced,
keeping your tools and body hygienic.
The sponge head is attached using a magnet, making it easy to remove.
If dirt such as sebum gets on the sponge, it can be washed immediately, and if the dirt cannot be removed, you can replace the attachment along with the sponge, keeping the attachment clean and also taking into consideration the hygiene of the person in need of care.
Equipped with a unique water injection mechanism that
removes dirt, feels good, and saves water
We paid particular attention to the condition and amount of water sprayed during development.
Although a fine mist helps save water, it is difficult to get the feeling of taking a shower, and it is difficult to feel the warmth of the water.
If you use it in the same way as a regular shower, you can feel like you are taking a shower and the water is warm, but you will use more water...
In order to solve these problems, we repeatedly tested and adjusted the design and developed a unique water injection mechanism.
No extensive preparation required!
Easy to clean and maintain.
To use the switle BODY, all you need is the main unit and the bare minimum.
No complicated assembly or pre-settings are required.
