When an injury or chronic condition makes it difficult to take a bath or shower, it severely undermines patient independence and hygiene. Fortunately, there is an adaptive device designed specifically to overcome this problem in the form of a four-footed, long, sliding transfer bench with a swivel seat. This sure-footed device is constructed of sturdy tubular aluminum with a molded plastic seat (with backrest) and a non-slip service and integral showerhead holder, which enables patients at home to more easily enter and exit their bathtubs. An adjustable-height feature assures a perfect fit, and strong suction-tipped legs prevent movement on wet surfaces. The swivel seat locks into position, assuring seated patients that they will not deviate from their preferred seating position.

HINT: Long-handled brushes are available to make hard-to-reach areas more accessible to bathing patients.
