On June 1, 2026, Sekisui Hometechno Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd., announced the development of the 'wells Microbubble Bathtub,' designed to improve bathing quality and reduce the burden of bathing assistance for elderly people requiring care in nursing facilities. Sales will commence 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. Bathing assistance, in particular, imposes significant physical and psychological burdens on staff, making operational efficiency a pressing issue. This product incorporates microbubble technology from Science Co., Ltd., which cleans thoroughly, thereby reducing assistance time and enhancing bathing quality. The built-in design ensures safety, and the company plans to expand its installation to existing facilities in the future.
