The adjustable width Swivel Bather can be easily adjusted to fit a wide range of bathtubs. Each arm of the base frame can be independently adjusted by simply turning the grey handles. The adjustable width allows the seat to be set closer to the open side of the bath, making transfers in and out of the bathtub easier. The mechanism is also built with non-slip rubber ends on the base for additional stability and support. Turning Seat Improves Bathtub Safety The bottom of a shallow bath is higher than a standard bath. This may make it easier for you to negotiate getting in and out. The horizontal rail can be used in combination with a bath board. The user may benefit from holding the rail while they sit on the board, then turn and lift their legs in/out of the bath.

The bath has to be empty before you enter it and then filled when you close the door. When exiting, the water needs to be drained before you open the door. This filling and drainage causes a delay during which you may become chilled, so consider keeping the bathroom well heated during use. You may be able to step into the bath at its lowest level and then be raised to a convenient height. However, remember that the water usually needs to drain away before you can get out. These baths are not often used in a domestic setting. The Width Adjustable Swivel Bath Seat rotates through 360 degrees ensuring the user has a safer, easier and more comfortable means of accessing the bath, greatly improving access when washing.We do NOT decide if an item is or isn’t exempt & we don’t make any more or less money if we charge you VAT or we don’t charge you VAT.

Representing outstanding value for money, the Width Adjustable Swivel Bath Seat is a fully adjustable, high quality swivel bath seat that is as versatile as it is functional. An over bath shower is often not fitted by local authorities. The reason for this is that you would still need to access the bath to use the shower, and equipment can be provided for this rather than fitting a shower. However, an over bath shower is sometimes fitted. This could be because the bath is too short to take equipment and a person. Or the client is very tall, and could not fit into a standard bath with the equipment as well. Or if a person has severe epilepsy and is at risk of having a seizure in the bath, an over bath shower would be considered to reduce the risk of having a seizure in a bath full of water. There are several options that can be considered to enable a person to access bathing facilities safely. If you access OT services through the NHS or Social care, they will look at the most cost effective solution to meet your bathing needs. This will begin with looking at the bathroom. If you have a standard bath with an over bath shower, you will likely be required to trial a bath board or swivel bather which give you safe access into the bath by sitting on them and swinging legs over. You would then stay sitting on it to use your over bath shower. Grab rails can also be fitted to the wall. If you experience difficulty turning your taps on and/or off due to a weak or painful grip, you may wish to consider trying tap turners. These fit onto the top of your existing taps. Most are designed for a particular type of tap (e.g. for cross or bar head taps or for round heads). They are usually colour coded red or blue for hot and cold taps.
