XXL Bariatric Shower Chair Overview

The Elexo XXL Bariatric Shower Chair is an electronic lift and shower chair designed to provide comfort to bariatric patients and their caregivers. The two-part seat has a toilet opening that allows it to be used as a commode chair as well as a shower chair, making bathing or using the bathroom easier all around. Three 5-inch casters and a directional wheel assist with moving the chair, and three step-engage brakes keep the chair still. It has a manual control for lifting and tilting but is also equipped with emergency lowering for additional safety.

How Much Weight Does a Bariatric Shower Chair Hold?

The bariatric Elexo XXL Shower Chair can hold up to 485 pounds. Its wide seat and fold-away armrests make it perfect for use with other equipment such as lift swings, reducing the need for caregiver transfers and providing additional comfort. The chair electronically reclines up to 20 degrees for an easier bathing experience.

Other shower chairs will have different weight capacities.

How Wide Is a Bariatric Shower Chair?

Bariatric shower chairs have seats that are between 20 and 35 inches wide. The Elexo XXL Bariatric Shower Chair is approximately 35 inches wide with a 27.6-inch seat. A wider seat allows bariatric patients greater ease in entering and exiting the chair while also providing more comfort.

Safety Features for Users and Caregivers

The Elexo XXL Shower Chair has two motors that perform the lifting and tilting, taking the strain off the caregiver. It has manual controls as well as emergency lowering controls. The chair is equipped with three wheel locks that can be engaged by stepping on them. They keep the chair from moving unexpectedly. Full-length and foldable armrests make getting in and out much safer and easier, especially if combined with a transfer board. A magnetic coupling keeps the charging point from damage should the cord be pulled away while charging.
