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 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 allow 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.
