Alleviates heavy lifting and unnecessary transfers
Description
Showerbuddy is a unique system that eliminates one of the most back breaking and stressful aspects of caregiving - showertime. Showerbuddy is a special ergonomically designed wheelchair with a built in commode. The toilet docking frame (sold seperately) fits around the base of most standard toilets, and provides the Showerbuddy with a safe transfer from its standard base to the commode. The track can be left in place or positioned before each use. Its brilliance lies in the simple and effortless transportation of the user straight into the restroom or shower unit.
The Showerbuddy alleviates heavy lifting and unnecessary transfers. It also eliminates slip hazards and costly construction while maintaining the privacy and dignity of the patient. This unique system allows for the patient to shower and use the toilet in one easy trip, utilizing only one transfer. ShowerBuddy also features a closable toilet apeture, ideal when the patient isn't using the commode function. The showerbuddy can be used in either a bathtub or shower stall, so no matter what your bathroom configuration is, Showerbuddy can help.
