Overview - Splash Defense Transfer Bench by Drive Medical
Drive Medical Splash Defense Transfer Bench is designed to provide independence in the home and for patient care. This transfer bench has a U-shaped cut-out design that keeps the shower liner in the tub and avoids spillage. The user is able to enter and exit the tub in a sitting position, making this a much more realistic and safe choice for patient bathing than simple shower benches. The Splash Defense Transfer Bench is reversible to accommodate any bathroom and has a weight capacity of up to 400 pounds. The A-frame construction provides stability and security. Patient transfer boards are a highly economic alternative for caretakers.
What is the Difference Between a Transfer Bench and Shower Chair
Simple shower chairs sit completely inside the bathtub with all four feet flat on the bottom of the tub itself. Unlike the minimal design of shower chairs, Drive Medical's Splash Defense Transfer Shower Bench is placed straddling the wall of the bathtub so two feet are inside the tub and the other two feet are placed outside of the tub. This design allows users to maneuver themselves inside the tub while sitting to avoid high steps into slippery tub surfaces, vastly improving safety and independence. Once the user is inside the tub, the shower curtain can be drawn through the U-shaped cut-out to avoid any spilling. This transfer bench also includes a backrest for added support and security.
