Gordon Ellis Ashby Bath Shortener

Product Information

If you are unsteady on your feet, make sure the taps, plug and door controls can be reached from the seated position if you plan to bathe independently. This superb Bathroom Safety Starter Pack has been specially designed to ensure maximum assurance and peace of mind. If you are planning a new purpose-built accessible bathroom, be aware of the requirements of building regulations and design standards. This 18" long Loofah with Rope, is ideal for scrubbing and exfoliating those hard-to-reach places like your back. Please note that you may not receive any grant if you start work on your property before the council approves your application.

The brush has soft bristles that help to clean all over the foot whilst the pumice can remove hard skin from the heel and underside of the foot.Since the boards can withstand loads of up to 150 kg, depending on the model, you can also use the board as a bathtub seat.

Bathing from the seat still means you will not experience the relaxation of lying in deep water or stretching out in the bath. This requires a significant amount of grip and muscle strength in the upper limbs and core strength in the body.

The lifting mechanism is either manual or mains powered, controlled by the bather or a carer using a handset.

Look for a sales company that belongs to a trade association, such as the British Healthcare Trades Association (BHTA). 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. A high backrest will provide much more support than a low one, but if it protrudes above the bath rims the seat cannot be used in conjunction with a bath board.e. not only as a pressure cushion for the wheelchair, but also in bed, in the bath and on the commode or toilet.
