Science Co., Ltd., a next-generation infrastructure company aiming to solve social issues through fine bubble technology, announced that its technology has been adopted for the 'wells Microbubble Bathtub,' which Sekisui Home Techno Co., Ltd. will begin selling in July 2026.
In recent years, the nursing care sector has faced severe labor shortages alongside challenges such as the increasing severity of elderly care needs and the demand for higher quality care. Specifically, bathing assistance for the elderly presents significant burdens for staff, including physical strain during washing, concerns about skin issues, and time-consuming procedures. Against this backdrop, our fine bubble technology was adopted for the 'wells' nursing care bathroom brand developed by Sekisui Home Techno.
By combining the 'wells' series' features—such as bathroom layouts designed for minimal staffing, lift compatibility, and bathtub replacement options—with the gentle cleaning function of microbubbles, we aim to further improve bathing quality and reduce the burden on caregivers in nursing facilities.
Key features of the 'wells Microbubble Bathtub' include improved bathing quality for residents, reduced caregiver burden, a built-in design for safety and efficient movement, proprietary microbubble full-body cleaning technology, and enhanced warmth retention. Utilizing Science's Mirable Technology, ultra-fine bubbles penetrate deep into pores to lift and remove dirt, enabling a 'soak-to-clean' bathing experience.
Sales will begin in July 2026 as an option for the wells series in newly opened facilities. We plan to expand availability so that existing facilities with the wells system bath KGS series can also install this feature. In Japan's super-aging society, reducing the burden on nursing care sites is a critical social issue. Together with Sekisui Home Techno, we will continue to promote the social implementation of fine bubble technology to create more comfortable and secure bathing environments.
