Shower cradles can be used with a mobile or ceiling track hoist to transfer a person into the bath. They are often customised to the posturing needs of the individual. They provide comfort, support and safety for individuals who may prefer bathing to showering. They can be combined with a multi-functional mobile chassis for use over a toilet, in a shower or as a transporter within the home. Some are mobile as standard.
Hinged shower stretchers and benches are for use in the shower or over a bath. Some can also be used as a changing table in a wet or dry area. They can be folded up against the wall when not in use.
Changing tables are free-standing or mobile and provide a surface on which a person can be changed, cleaned or dressed. Some are fixed height, others have height adjustment that may be operated electrically, mechanically or hydraulically so that the table can be positioned at a comfortable height for the carer. Many have safety guards and are usually used with hoist systems. Some have an adjustable angle backrest.
