Gordon Ellis Ashby Bath Shortener

Product Information

Some handsets can be attached to the side of the bath with suckers so that they are always conveniently positioned. Bath steps provide a step-like platform on the outside of the bath, lessening the height you need to lift your legs to get into the bath. A hole that is cut into the base allows water to enter, and a breather hole under the handle allows air to escape. Most acrylic baths are not strong enough to take wedge-in bath seats and, when free-standing bath seats and removable bath lifts are used, the weight should be distributed over as wide a base as possible.

The three suction plate shortener is suitable for baths between 510 and 650mm (20 and 271/2") wide (note, bath sides must be parallel where shortener is to be secured). With the help of a bathtub board, people who have difficulty getting into the bathtub due to physical limitations can use it safely and in many cases independently. The Mobeli Bathtub Shortener is available in two different models with either two or three suction pads. It is strongly advised to have grab rails fitted to the wall to hold whilst completing the transfer.

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. Depending on the kind and design of the alternative bath, you are advised to consider the need for installing additional grab rails. Bathtub boards can be used as a practical shelf for soap and other bathroom utensils, as they stand like a small table on the edge of the bathtub. If you are unsure what your bath is made of, see if a fridge magnet sticks to the side of the inside of the bath.

The Ashby Bath Shortener is a perfect mobility aid for shorter people who want to enjoy a soak in the bath, because it shortens the length of the bath by approximately 30 cm (12 inches). The tray features a unique flexible rubber edging that surrounds the tray and neck opening to provide additional comfort and prevent slipping. They should be able to provide you with information and advice about services or resources which could help you.To transfer into the bath you reverse towards the board and sit down on it before swinging your legs over the edge to place them on the floor of the bath. The hoist usually lifts a rigid plastic bath chair with simple arm rests/bars which raise and lower each side. If you receive a prescription for equipment you can take it to a local accredited retailer, which may be a local pharmacy, who will provide you with the item. This 18" long Loofah with Rope, is ideal for scrubbing and exfoliating those hard-to-reach places like your back. These emit an audible warning when in contact with water and can therefore be used to alert you when the bath is full.

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 should be checked on a regular basis, especially if the board is regularly removed for others to use the bath. This principle guides all of our product development and service, and we're proud that our small aids for daily living can make a big difference in someone's life.Most are only suitable for use in metal baths - some plastic or glass fibre baths may crack as the legs push against the sides of the bath.

Most of us enjoy a relaxing soak in the bath and may feel frustrated if this pleasure is taken away. These lifts are not suitable for everyone as they provide no trunk or back support, and you must adjust your position on the band at intervals during ascent and descent to keep yourself central. These combined function pieces of equipment provide a height-adjustable platform with sides which can be raised and lowered.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. Introducing the St Helens Bed and Bath Extendable Tray – your versatile companion for ultimate relaxation and convenience. Alternatively, a flexible transfer disc can be placed on top of the seat to provide a means of swivelling.
