Many people decide to use a elderly bathtubs. A lift chair is a special type of recliner that can be raised and lowered to make it easier to stand and sit. They come in many different shapes and styles, which makes it simple to find one to match your living room.

Back in the day, baths were not designed for comfort, but instead were just there to get the job of washing done. No one really luxuriated in a elderly bathtubs. They got in the tub, washed up and got out - similar to our showering habits of today.

People also did not bathe every day and in some countries there were laws that dictated when we could bathe. A lot has changed since then, and with the introduction of the shower head to the bath tub, people are able to wash every day.

But we still love the relaxation that a handicap tub offers. Nowadays, everything from Jacuzzi style elderly bathtubs to small corner bathtubs offer great variety in our choices for a tub. A bath is now a treat to pamper ourselves when we have some time for ourselves.

Elderly bathtubs is one of the best ways to ensure safety in the handicap tubs. They make it easy to transfer into and out of the tub. For safety reasons most use battery power and a completely sealed remote control that also floats.

A quality bath lift has a built in battery gauge and will not lower unless the battery is strong enough to go back up again. This ensures that you will never be stuck in the bathtub.

The elderly bathtubs are one of the most popular lifting aid and it makes the living room accessible to all people. There are several other areas of the house that can be difficult to access if you are mobility challenged. Perhaps one of the hardest is the bathroom. There are many sharp corners and areas in the bathroom that can be unsafe. A bath lift is another important type of lifting aid that can make the premier bathtub much safer.

   Portable Shower Stalls for Wheelchairs   

Standard Portable Shower for Wheelchairs
 
FAWSsit-S2000
Standard Model
36"x36"x48"



Select Your Location





For use by individuals weighing up to approximately 220 lbs and who do not require footrests on the wheelchair Designed for any individual who can sit comfortably in a standard sized wheelchair.

This model enables the user to either do their own bathing, with the enclosure of a full privacy curtain, or to have the assistance of a care attendant who can reach in and assist in the bathing without having to get into the shower with the person in a wheelchair.

The front curtain can be left open to enable easy caregiver access, and only the FAWSsit™ design directs the waste water to the back of the pan for easy and complete removal with the safe frame-attached waste water removal pump. The shower head can be either frame mounted or hand-held to facilitate complete water access for bathing.



Super Standard Portable Shower for Wheelchairs


FAWSsit-SS4040 
Super Standard Model
42"x42"x48"

Select Your Location







For use by individuals weighing up to approximately 300 lbs, or who may require the use of footrests on the wheelchair.  Slightly larger than S2000 for those that need just a bit more room. Meets the needs of wheelchair users who do not require a tilt back shower wheelchair.

Allows room for wheelchair foot pads as well as the wheelchair. With the same caregiver access and usability features as the S2000 Standard model, this unit also allows for quick set up, easy roll in, and immediate roll out after the shower is completed.

The unique pan design for all FAWSsit™ models enables waste water removal while showering, so once the shower is completed there is no need to wait for drain pan emptying, unlike all other shower pan designs.

The FAWSsit™ pump is custom-designed as well to rapidly remove the waste water, and to run safely wet or dry. A special filter mechanism designed into all FAWSsit showers ensures that no blockage will occur with the FAWSsit™ waste water removal pump.


Bariatric Portable Shower for Wheelchairs



FAWSsit-B5000 
Bariatric Model
46"x46"x44"


Select Your Location





For use by individuals up to 400 lbs, or who may require a slightly reclined wheelchair whose depth does not exceed 45" Meets the needs of wheelchair users that require more space for larger size wheelchairs or special patient requirements.

The FAWSsit™ B5000 Bariatric is designed to offer all of the features and benefits of the S2000 Standard and the SS4040 Super Standard models, but gives added space to accommodate large sized wheelchairs, or even slightly tilted wheelchairs.

With the B5000, even morbidly obese individuals are able to receive a safe, effective shower, and are able to easily reach all body parts with the customized shower head assembly.

The slightly lower height, at 44”, enables care attendants better access when reaching in to the larger unit to assist with bathing.

As with all FAWSsit™ models, the germicide-imbedded vinyl shower curtains can either be fully enclosed for privacy, or can be left open in front to best enable care attendant access. And, only FAWSsit™ portable showers have a triple layer, fiberglass-mesh imbedded waste water pan to hold up to multiple years of repeated roll in and roll out without breakdown or tearing.

No “foam fatigue” occurs with the FAWSsit™ pan design, so water spillage is NOT a problem, as can happen with unsupported foam sided drain pans.


Reclining Portable Shower for Wheelchairs
 
FAWSsit-R3000 
Reclining Model
36"x76"x36"


Select Your Location



For use by individuals who require a reclining style wheelchair or gurney, and who require the assistance of a care attendant for bathing Meets the needs of the High quadriplegic, CP and any medical condition requiring a tilt back shower wheelchair.

Only the FAWSsit™ R3000 Recliner has a double fold-away design which allows it to open to a full 74” in length to accommodate reclining wheelchairs and gurneys. But, when the showering is completed, this unit quickly folds flat to only 16” in depth for easy storage.

The R3000 has the added feature of lower height to make care attendant access as easy and effective as possible. The 15 foot long hoses (or longer if requested) allow for full reach and access for bathing.


Tall Portable Shower for Wheelchairs


FAWSsit-T4000 
Hazmat Stand-up Tall Model
36"x36"x72"


Select Your Location




For use by either able-bodied individuals or individuals with disabilities who can stand while bathing Meets the needs of Emergency Services or HAZMAT and is wheelchair accessible.

The FAWSsit™ T4000 Tall shower is also an ideal alternative for use in homes that need a full shower stall, but do not have room for a permanent or even semi-permanent structure.

The T4000 Tall shower, like all FAWSsit™ models, is shipped COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED, but folds flat to less than 8 inches in depth when showering is completed. This is a great alternative for cabins, basements, garages, or other locations where a shower is desired, but space is a concern.

The T4000 shower is also fully accessible, so it can be used by both the able-bodied and disabled in a family.

For emergency services and hazardous materials decontamination, time is of the essence for getting a shower facility functional. This unit can be mounted, fully assembled, on the side of a fire truck, or stored in an emergency closet for immediate use when needed. Exposure to hazardous materials especially calls for IMMEDIATE decontamination and for containment of the waste water.

ONLY FAWSsit™ portable showers enable this immediate use capability and waste water disposal system for easy bladder containment.
