Gordon Ellis Ashby Bath Shortener

Product Information

Designed for comfortable and convenient in-bed shampooing, this Deluxe Inflatable Shampoo Basin offers maximum support and comfort for the head and shoulders, and also includes a built-in inflatable headrest to further enhance comfort. Plastic covered foam cushions can be used to line the bath to make someone who is frail more comfortable, or to increase your safety if you have involuntary movements. This superb Bathroom Safety Starter Pack has been specially designed to ensure maximum assurance and peace of mind. Sliding down in the bath is eliminated by two suction pads fixed to the base surface and two to the vertical surface of the bath. As these rails attach solely to the bath itself, great care needs to be taken to ensure that the fixing mechanism - usually a screw system - remains secure.

Those that are square take up less room in the bathroom, but if the door is outward opening, space will be needed to accommodate the swing. Slatted or perforated boards will allow the water to drain away quickly, so that drying is easier and the board is less slippery to sit on.They are not recommended for attaching to a plastic/acrylic bath as there is a possibility that the surface may crack.

This bathroom aid prevents submerging in the bath, converting your standard size bath to one that is suitable for your everyday washing tasks.

If you are unsteady on your feet, make sure the taps, plug and door controls can be reached from the seated position if you plan to bathe independently. This collection features common elements so a bathroom can include any number of combinations to create a great look and safety for the user at the same time. The suction tabs have an innovative safety mechanism that constantly monitors the suction pads' adhesive strength.Some boards are designed with integral handgrips which may be useful when moving onto and off the board. If you are considering major adaptations, such as building a downstairs bathroom for someone who cannot use the stairs, check that all other options have been considered. A transfer bench does not require support on the bath rim on the far side of the bath, so may be useful when this is not available.
