Bariatric Products
Our Bariatric products are designed and tested to be capable of withstanding a higher weight threshold than standard products and a larger width for comfort. In this section you will find products such as
beds, chairs,
bathing equipment,
toileting aids and
mobility products not just for at home but for hospitals and care homes caring for elderly or people with disabilities.
Bariatric Bathing Products
Our bathing products include bathing stools and bath boards right through to wheeled shower commodes and shower trolleys. Bathing stools, perches and steps can be the answer to having a bath without the problem of sitting directly in the bath, these items used in conjunction with bath rails for leverage will usually give enough support for people to be able to manage bathing by themselves. For people who have more severe difficulties say in hospitals or care homes, wheeled shower commodes or shower trolleys are the easiest way of bathing patients who can’t help themselves for whatever reason.
Bed and Chair Products
We stock a range of chairs which have been specifically manufactured with a wider frame or an adjustable frame for comfort, also made with pressure care in mind for those who spend considerable periods in a chair. We also have mattress relievers these prop the mattress by using a frame which sits on the frame of the bed, fantastic for people confined to a bed allowing them to rise and recline independently.
