Gastrointestinal & Kidney Diseases, Cancers, Therapy causing chronic
/ persistent diarrhea and require frequent toilet cleaning
Diarrhea including chronic / persistent
diarrhea is a symptom of these
conditions, thus requiring frequent
toilet cleaning. Janitorial services may
not provide sufficient cleaning
frequency.
Giddel takes the stress away from the
human by cleaning the toilet multiple
times as needed.
With Giddel, human labor do not need
to contact a potentially infectious toilet
(e.g. toilets with norovirus can be
infectious).
Veteran patients who learn to operate
Giddel themselves, can reduce labor
need in their nursing homes.
