Gordon Ellis Ashby Bath Shortener

Product Information

This mobility aid is incredibly easy-to-install; you simply place the Mobeli Bathtub Shortener with 2 or 3 Strong Suction Pads in any standard sized bath and lock the vacuum-action suction pads into place – no tools required. If the board is too long it will stick out over the side of the bath and there is a chance it could tip up if you sit on the end. Floor-fixed bath hoists have a strong metal vertical column which usually slots into a base plate at the side or end of the bath.

These bath lifts can be removed for relocation or to allow another member of the family to use the bath. This requires a significant amount of grip and muscle strength in the upper limbs and core strength in the body.If you are considering major adaptations, such as building a downstairs bathroom for someone who cannot use the stairs, check that all other options have been considered.

Magiplug® is a useful addition to any home and especially useful for anyone who is liable to forget to turn off the taps. A hole that is cut into the base allows water to enter, and a breather hole under the handle allows air to escape. This 18" long Loofah with Rope, is ideal for scrubbing and exfoliating those hard-to-reach places like your back. Our consultations have no strings attached and will never encourage you to purchase items that aren't right for you. Check whether the bath is long enough to use the equipment - especially if a bath board and seat combination is going to be used, and if you will want to straighten your legs in the bath, or if you are particularly tall.The shorter the height the lower down in the water you sit, but the more effort will be required to stand up from the seat. Many have cut away sides and a small corner ledge for you to perch on whilst transferring your legs into the bath. A high backrest will provide much more support than a low one, but if it protrudes above the bath rims the seat cannot be used in conjunction with a bath board.

A hole is cut into the base allowing water to enter, and a breather hole under the handle allows air to escape, meaning that it doesn’t interfere with filling or draining the bath.

Rocker or toggle switches are sometimes available and are particularly helpful for a person with weak or painful hands. These serve to limit the available space in the bathtub so that smaller people can also support their feet on them.Choosing products from us assures you of the best possible quality, designed with care and attention. The three suction plate shortener is suitable for baths between 510 and 650mm (20 and 271/2") wide (note, bath sides must be parallel where shortener is to be secured).

Designed for comfortable and convenient in-bed shampooing, this Deluxe Inflatable Shampoo Basin offers maximum support and comfort for the head and shoulders, and also includes a built-in inflatable headrest to further enhance comfort. On most the lever only needs to turn a quarter of the way around the tap to go from off to fully on. These rails should be fitted by experienced installers, as they take a lot of weight and ceiling fixation can be complicated. For carers, bath lifts may help to make the task of assisting someone easier and safer, thus reducing the risk of back injury. Rubber suckers are Fitted to attach the Bath Shortener to the foot of the bath to prevent it slipping.Driven by a real understanding of our user's needs, we make it easier to take care of yourself, or the people you care for.
