Daneenon DEN FlexBath 360: The Smart Portable Bathing Machine for Bedridden Seniors in Singapore

If you have ever cared for a bed-bound elderly person, you will know how hard “bath day” can be. Transfers from bed to wheelchair to bathroom, the fear of slips on wet tiles, the discomfort and embarrassment, all these take a toll on both seniors and caregivers, especially towards the end of life.

That was why, at the recent Canton Fair, one booth stopped me in my tracks.

On the table sat a compact white device. The booth labelled “Easy Bath”. Behind it, a banner read “Smart Portable Bathing Machine.”

Given what we see every day in senior care, that phrase alone made me walk over.

This is how I first encountered the Daneenon DEN FlexBath 360, and why I think it may be an important new option for homes, nursing facilities and hospitals in Singapore and the region.

The booth that stood out at Canton Fair

There was no dramatic stage demonstration. Just a small booth, a modest display, and those powerful words: Easy Bath.

We already know how challenging it is to bring a frail, bedridden senior into a bathroom for a full shower:

• It is physically demanding for caregivers.

• It can be frightening and painful for the elderly person.

• It often feels like a major “operation” rather than a simple daily wash.

So any device that can reduce pain, effort and fear, especially for seniors in their final years, is something caregivers and care facilities will naturally look out for.

When I asked about the product, the representative explained that the DEN FlexBath 360 is designed to bring warm bathing to the bedside, instead of forcing the senior to travel to the bathroom.

Then he showed me two simple demonstrations.

Two quick demos that made the concept real

Rather than a long technical explanation, he went straight into action.

1. Red marker test on my arm

He drew a bold red line on my forearm with a marker.
Then he:

1. Switched on the FlexBath 360 and set the water temperature.

2. Picked up the handheld sponge/shower head.

3. Gently ran it over the ink.

Warm water flowed through the sponge, and as it moved over my arm, the ink came off easily. At the same time, the used water was vacuumed straight back into the machine.

When he was done, my arm was clean and almost dry. I hadn’t moved from where I was standing. No sink, no dripping, no mess.

2. Close-up of the sponge head

Next, he held the sponge/shower head close to the camera so I could see:

• a gentle rotating massage motion, and

• water being immediately suctioned back in as it flowed out.

In a few minutes, the idea became clear:

A portable, warm-water system that lets you wash a person in bed, with controlled flow and suction so the bedding stays largely dry.

What is the Daneenon DEN FlexBath 360?

In simple terms, the Daneenon DEN FlexBath 360 is a smart portable bathing machine designed for:

• bedridden or semi-immobile seniors,

• people with disabilities, and

• care settings where moving someone to the bathroom is difficult or risky.

Key features include:

• Compact, portable design
  About the size of a small carry-on (40×40×20 cm, 7.5 kg), so it can sit on a bedside table, cart or be moved between rooms.

• Warm water with temperature control
  The unit heats and maintains a set water temperature (35-40°C), so caregivers don’t need to boil water or keep refilling basins.

• Handheld sponge/shower head
  A soft head that delivers gentle swirling massage while releasing warm water.

• Reverse-suction technology
  As water flows out through the sponge to clean the skin, it is immediately sucked back into the waste tank. This keeps bedding and clothing as dry as possible.

• Dual-tank system
  Separate tanks for clean water and used water, supporting better hygiene.

The concept is not to replace every shower, but to provide a safer, easier alternative when bathroom trips are too tiring, too risky, or simply not possible.

How the smart portable bathing works (step by step)

Here is how a typical use might look in a Singapore home, nursing home or ward:

1. Set up the machine
   The caregiver fills the clean tank with water (and mild body wash if needed), plugs in the device and sets the desired temperature.

2. Let the machine heat and regulate
   The DEN FlexBath 360 warms the water and maintains it at a comfortable level, reducing guesswork and repeated trips to the bathroom.

3. Begin washing with the sponge head
   When the sponge head touches the skin, water flow starts; when it lifts off, the flow stops. This contact-based control makes it easier to operate with one hand.

4. Clean and suction in one motion
   As the caregiver moves the sponge head along the arm, back, torso or legs, the rotating action helps loosen dirt and sweat while the machine sucks used water away at the same time.

5. Finish, dry and pack away
   Towels are used to pat dry any remaining moisture; the device is switched off and the waste tank is emptied and cleaned.

In some videos from China, social workers use this machine in nursing homes to bathe residents fully in bed, including hair washing with an inflatable basin, all without the resident leaving the mattress.

Why this matters for caregiving in Singapore

For many of us caring for seniors at home or running elder-care facilities, these are familiar challenges:

• Risk of falls and injuries when moving frail elders to the bathroom.

• Cramped bathrooms in HDB flats and older buildings, making transfers and shower chairs difficult.

• Heavy physical strain on family members and care staff.

• Emotional stress for elders who fear the cold, slippery bathroom and the exposure that comes with it.

A system like the DEN FlexBath 360 offers:

• An additional bedside bathing option for days when a full bathroom visit is too demanding.

• Potentially less manpower per bath, since fewer transfers and movements are required.

• More comfort and dignity for seniors, especially those at the end of life.

It isn’t a magic wand, but it is a thoughtful piece of assistive technology that can make a hard job gentler and safer.

How different users might use the FlexBath 360

1. Home caregivers

For families supporting a bed-bound parent or grandparent, the FlexBath 360 could help:

• Provide proper warm washes right at the bedside, not just quick wipes.

• Reduce the number of people needed each time, easing caregiver fatigue.

• Make bath time less frightening for elders who are afraid of falling.

2. Nursing homes and senior homes

In long-term care facilities, a smart portable bathing machine can:

• Ease congestion at shared shower rooms.

• Improve hygiene and comfort for residents who seldom leave their beds.

• Support more efficient bathing routines with fewer transfers and less heavy lifting.

3. Hospitals and geriatric / palliative wards

In hospitals, it may be especially useful for:

• Seniors recovering from surgery, with wounds or tubes in place.

• Palliative patients who should be moved as gently as possible.

• Isolation rooms, where bringing patients to common bathrooms is difficult.

Why The Silvery Fair is sharing this

At the moment, detailed English information about the Daneenon DEN FlexBath 360 is limited. Most of the brochures, case studies and user stories are in Chinese.

At the The Silvery Fair, our role is not only to sell products but to scout, interpret and introduce promising elder-care solutions to families and care organisations in Singapore and the region.

This post serves three purposes:

1. To explain, in straightforward English, what the DEN FlexBath 360 is and how it works.

2. To help home caregivers, nursing homes and hospitals decide if it may fit their needs.

3. To invite interested parties to connect with us early, so we can explore bringing it in together.

We are currently studying how best to introduce this product into Singapore, including regulatory and supply considerations.
