Various models enable showering in a lying position
Handicare’s wall mounted Shower stretcher is a convenient and extremely secure facility allowing the user to shower in a safe and comfortable lying position. It also makes it easier for a caregiver to maintain an ergonomic posture while assisting the user with washing, drying, dressing and undressing. The shower stretcher is especially suitable for mounting above a bathtub and it can also be used as a changing table.
To accommodate for different user needs and for bathrooms of different sizes, the shower stretcher is available in four models, each available in three different lengths.
The flat model is ideal for users requiring frequent turning. It also works well for both right- and left-handed caregivers as the user’s head can be positioned at either end of the stretcher.
The model with adjustable backrest enables a slight rising on the left hand side. Rising the user’s head and upper body can facilitate tasks such as washing the user’s hair. The backrest is operated using a gas spring which is fitted, as standard, on the left-hand side. The adjustment range is 5°- 80°.
Furthermore, the flat and adjustable models are both available with a water receiver and a flexible drain hose. These models catch the water while showering the user and prevent the caregiver from getting wet in the process.
