Bariatric Electric Tilt Shower Commode Chair
Durable, Supportive and Attendant-Controlled Bariatric Shower Commode for Larger Users
For carers, assisting a larger person with showering and toileting can be a physically demanding and often risky task. Ensuring comfort and safety for both the user and the carer is a daily challenge, particularly when mobility is significantly limited. Repositioning for effective washing or transfers can lead to strain and potential injury without the right equipment.
The Bariatric Electric Tilt Shower Commode Chair is designed to ease this burden. With a robust, reinforced stainless steel frame supporting up to 225kg, it provides a secure and stable solution. Its key feature is the attendant-controlled electric tilt mechanism, which smoothly adjusts the seat from 10 to 35 degrees. This allows a single carer to effortlessly reposition the user for comfortable and thorough showering, all managed via a long-cabled remote for maximum flexibility and safety. Padded rests, adjustable components, and locking castors make it a practical and dignified choice for daily hygiene routines.
