Product Information

If mobility and transfers are difficult for you, you may need to consider changing your environment, adapting or building a bathroom which will meet your needs, or installing equipment that will help you and a carer if you require one. This is a potentially intrusive and stressful experience, but if well planned, could provide you with a long-lasting solution. If you are planning a new purpose-built accessible bathroom, be aware of the requirements of building regulations and design standards. Some level access bases are designed to fit in the space where a bath stood, so that the drainage from the bath is already in place. Others require under floor drainage to be installed. The height of these baths can be adjusted, either mechanically or electrically. This is designed to reduce the need for a carer to bend over the bath if you require assistance. A hoist is usually a strong metal frame which may be static (fixed) or mobile. The frame has a lifting mechanism operated manually or powered by electricity. From the frame, or lifting arm/boom, is suspended a sling (on a spreader bar) or a chair, to support and carry a person as they are moved from one place or position to another.

Digital shower controls allow you to programme your desired temperature etc. They incorporate thermostatic controls to prevent temperature variations. It is usual to have a second remote control unit so that the shower can be controlled from a distance. This can be useful for a carer. The sofa kit of claim 5, further comprising a pair of arm rests, the arm rests attachable to the seat box with manual handled threaded fasteners. The stretcher is only part of the full answer to how to transport a bedbound patient on a flight. Equally important is the care provided during the flight. It needs to happen professionally, smoothly, and without disturbing other passengers on the flight. If you are struggling with caring for yourself, or your carer is struggling to provide care for you, consider asking for a health and social care needs assessment. Since the Care Act 2014came into power in April 2015, anyone who appears to need care and support can request an assessment from their local council, irrespective of their income or savings. The Act also places a statutory duty on local authorities and the NHS to support individuals to take steps to prevent their ill health or care requirements from getting worse. These strategies for prevention can include the early provision of equipment and services to help prevent, delay or reduce the development of further need for care and support, which may include showering equipment, depending on the cost. An alternative would be to have two helpers carefully turn the patient on their side, rather than lift. You would then slip the stretcher underneath. For this, the casualty’s arms can be placed across their chest. The head is kept in alignment with the spine throughout. There are many methods available to move the injured patient. You would, of course, prefer to have a vehicle of some sort, but this will be a challenge in a survival environment.Armrests provide support while you are seated, but should not be used to help you stay in the chair. If, without the arm supports, you would slide or fall, then you require a more supportive system. You are advised to seek advice from an occupational therapist. The sofa kit of claim 5, further comprising instructions for assembling the sofa without using tools, and further comprising a box containing the seat box and the instructions.

The hoist usually lifts a rigid plastic bath chair with simple arm rests/bars which raise and lower each side. On some models the seat is detachable from the hoist and will fit onto a mobile chassis frame once out of the bath, allowing the person to be wheeled from the bathroom. The chassis may also be designed to allow the seat to be positioned over a toilet. The BEAB Care Mark has been developed to demonstrate that water heater products comply with additional requirements to existing safety standards which take into account the needs of people in care situations, such as disabled and older people. It is a useful indicator when considering a shower system for anyone who has additional needs in their own homes. Battery powered hoists are easier to operate than manual hoists as the motor takes the person's weight, but the battery needs to be charged regularly. A passenger transported on a lie-flat pod in business class can lie down most of the time spent in the cabin. Still, flight safety rules demand that every passenger must be able to sit up in the seat in a fully upright position for takeoff, landing, and severe turbulence. There are long handled washing and personal care equipment and hand and foot care aids available, designed to help make it easier to reach parts of your body when washing with less stretching or bending.Please note: When you install a shower stool, seat or chair into a shower with a shower tray, or into a bath, you must ensure that the shower tray/bath is Remember, we should set an example for others. If you are not already involved with injury prevention, get involved now! A good place to start is with a child passenger safety tech class. This 32-hour class will teach you how to use a car seat correctly and what to look for when you respond to a crash with children involved. This is a great way to serve your community. To find a class near you, visit www.nhtsa.dot.gov. Due to their design, shower trolleys can make assisting with transfers easier for carers since sliding equipment can be used to transfer the user in a horizontal position directly from the bed onto the trolley, thus eliminating the need for hoisting. Bath temperature indicators show when the temperature of the bath or wash hand basin is above a safe level by changing colour or giving a reading of the water temperature. Manual leg lifters consist of a reinforced strap with a loop on the end. You hook your foot through the loop and then, with your arms, physically lift the loop (and thereby your leg) up to the edge of the bath rim and then down into the bath.
