BAKSLAP PROFESSIONALS APPLICATOR

Support Better Patient Care for Hard to Reach Areas
The Bakslap Professional Applicator is purpose designed to assist clinicians and carers in applying lotions, creams, washes and topical treatments to hard to reach areas in a simple, hygienic and efficient way. It helps reduce unnecessary manual handling, awkward positioning and strain for both the clinician and the patient.
