Tub Transfer Bench with Curtain Guard
Purpose
Tub Transfer Benches (sometimes called Extended Tub Benches) allows users to safely use a tub/shower combination. The design allows for the bench to sit over the side of the tub wall eliminating the need to step over the edge. The bench also gives a safe place to sit in a tub/shower combination while bathing.
Description
This tub transfer bench boasts a “U” shape cut-out design that allows the shower curtain liner to stay within the tub and prevents water spillage. This is an awesome feature that not many tub benches have. This bench is adjustable and can accommodate right or left entry tubs as well as a variety of different heights. The suction cups feet on the tub side allow for stability and a backrest is present to improve support and help decreased endurance. Backrest can be removed if needed. It can support up to 400lbs.
This bench was sent in by a community member with FOP. Here is what she said:
“This shower bench has a space for curtain for those that shower independently and want curtains closed or who just don’t want water to get everywhere. I love it because I can close the shower curtain and not worry about getting water everywhere.”
Tips
Many local communities have “Senior Centers” who lend out common durable medical equipment. Hardware stores like Home Depot or Lowes also frequently carry shower chairs and tub benches.
