About Transfers
Bath Transfers
Perhaps the most common of accidents and hazards in the bathroom for someone with mobility impairment is in the process of accessing and exting the shower or bathtub. This process is fraught with edges, water and unstable surfaces. Add in the difficult a carer experiences when manually lifting and shifting another individual’s weight, and it’s easy to understand why this process can be so difficult.
Shower transfers
The process of accessing a shower with a mobility impairment is a challenge that affects millions around the world each day. The risks that carers and individuals take with a manual lift into the shower results in countless injuries such as back sprains or worse. We think that in a slippery, unstable environment like a wet bathroom, the job of transferring into and out of a shower should be taken over by capable assistive technology.
