When it comes to bathroom safety, it's important to address the safety of transferring in and out of the bathtub, as well as safety while in the bathtub. The Universal Bath Transfer Bench addresses both of these safety concerns. This transfer bench was designed and developed with input from both healthcare professionals and occupational therapists to make it as functional as possible. The backrest has two built-in handles to make positioning the transfer bench easier. The transfer benches' universal design allows a side handle to be placed on either the left or right side, depending on if the user is left or right-handed. The bench features a unique set of feet that screw in and out of the chair instead of clicking like a pair of crutches, great for leveling the chair on uneven floors. The legs also feature small buttons that, when pressed, let the legs pop out to enable easy storage and relocation. A leveling system allows you to easily adjust the seat height from 17.5" to 22.5" high for comfort. From the bath benches' compact size of 35" wide by 19.5" deep to its extra weight capacity supporting 400 lbs., this bathtub transfer bench makes a great independent living aid. There are no metal parts to rust or corrode. The Universal Bath Transfer Bench assembles and disassembles easily for travel, and it can be easily moved out of the way when needed.
How to Use the Universal Bath Transfer Bench
Place two of the Universal Bath Transfer Bench legs on the outside of the tub and the other two on the inside of the tub. Instead of having to step over the side of the tub, sit down on the outside edge of the seat and swing the legs inside of the tub. If standing is difficult, move to the middle of the bench and sit under the shower spray or use a handheld spray attachment on the bathtub faucet to bathe. Professional caretakers suggest sitting on the shower curtain to keep water from splashing out of the tub to ensure that no accidents occur when getting out of the tub due to excessive moisture building up around the outside of the tub.
