Showering

The ShowerBuddy SB1 is made up of a comfortable, sturdy chair and a bridge unit to allow transfer

Simply line up the unit with the step-in shower and mover the seated user back in the chair, along with the bridge
Safe, waterproof suction feet fix the chair to the shower floor
The bridge can be removed at this point, allowing the caregiver access
The chair can rotate, offering different positions to suit preferences and get assistance with cleaning
Once finished, the chair connects back onto the bridge, allowing for easy transfer out of the shower unit
The base can stay in the shower, or be removed quickly so other family members can use the shower as usual

Toileting

Use of the existing g toilet in a bathroom is made easier with the Showerbuddy SB1’s comfortable chair. It’s height-adjustable to suit the user.

Locking caster wheels allows the ShowerBuddy SB1 chair unit to be manoeuvred and secured over the toilet

When the chair is not in use, a full overlay cushion accessory closes the opening, making the ShowerBuddy SB1 a comfortable day chair.

If the user needs a night-time commode, the ShowerBuddy SB1 is ready for the task with included pan and lid.
