Grab Bars and Safety Rails

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury to our older population. A fall can happen anywhere; on the stairs, outside on unlevel terrain, and especially our bathroom. Our bathrooms are loaded with slippery surfaces just waiting to reach out and grab us.

Why use Squatty Potty Ecco Toilet Stool?

There is a bend in our digestive tracts between the rectum and anus in an upright position, which stops us from pooping. It is similar to a bend in a garden hose that stops the flow of water. When sitting on the toilet seat, with knees at a right angle, our puborectalis muscle (the muscle responsible for continence) relaxes only partially.

Transfer Benches

Slide and Bathe

This type of transfer bench is very different from the other types of benches as in this; the user simply sits on a seat and then slides to the other side, usually on rails or a sliding frame. This reduces friction in movement considerably and makes it easy for more highly dependent patients.

Bath Aids

Safe Bathing

Studies show that many accidents take place in the bathroom, and this is more true in homes of the elderly. People who are differently abled often don’t consider the bathroom as a very friendly area of the house. The main is reason is because they’re afraid of either slipping or falling in the bathroom, mainly because they do not have complete control of their motor functions.

Commode Aids

Heavy Supporting Benches

Many a times, the average bath safety benches, stools, or adjustable chairs are not sturdy and strong enough to handle pressure or weight. They are not heavy duty and might slip themselves if there is a lot of weight applied to the average chair.
