Bathtub Transfer Benches Use

For anyone who needs assistance in entering and exiting their bathtub, a bathtub transfer bench is very important. Most benches require some assembly but they are simple to install. Once assembled, you can adjust the height towards your own personal preference.

If you had a total knee replacement, the bathtub bench is a must for anyone showering. It allows you to sit comfortably without placing strain on your knee or legs.

You can transfer from the wheelchair to the shower bench with no problems. Anyone who requires their own privacy and prefers independence when they are showering will love the shower benches.

The bench can stay in the shower while a normally able person takes shower. Bath tub transfer benches are perfect for families with someone who is disabled but still require standard showers. It is unnecessary to remove it.

  1. Shower benches are quite important for anyone who just recently had surgery. I can't imagine doing a tub transfer without a bench. There are so many hazards in a bathroom because of the water and slick surfaces. This is just another way to keep yourself safe.

  2. How do you keep the water from getting around the shower curtin?

  3. The benches are installed inside the bathtub or shower area. You can install a shower curtain on the outside to prevent the water from splashing out. Just get one large enough to cover the whole washing area.
