Facts: Getting the Scoop on The Ultimate Shower Chair by Assistive Innovation
- No other chair effectively combines all the features of the Ultimate Shower Chair at the same reasonable price.
- Several years of research, design, building, testing and modification have gone into the development of the Ultimate Shower Chair. All chairs have been created with painstaking precision using skilled workmanship and the best available materials.
- Designer Gary Brinkmann has built a premium product while keeping affordability in mind. Other similar products of this calibre currently on the market cost close to twice as much.
- The Ultimate Shower Chair adapts to most bathtubs: between 14"-19.5" high and up to 34" wide with a minimum 1.5" ledge on the far side.
- The chair height remains at a constant height of 21", regardless of the bathtub height.
- The Ultimate Shower Chair is easy to insert, however upon the initial installation, the far side resting legs should be levelled by adding or removing spacers to adjust to height of bathtub ledge.
- The chair comes equipped with a pan that can be handily attached underneath in order to use the seat as a commode, eliminating the need for another transfer.
- The Ultimate Shower Chair is built to last, constructed using heavy aluminum tubing for its sturdy, non-corrosive, and lightweight qualities along with stainless steel and plastic parts manufactured from "Delrin", known for its strength and durability.
- The chair has been tested to support up to 250 lbs.
- The Ultimate Shower Chair was designed to rest on the ledge on the inside of the bathtub and on the floor outside the bathtub with the base wedged and locked into position. This provides a solid, reliable foundation without slippage.
- Hand operated wheel brakes provide stability during transfers.
- No holes need to be drilled, nor the tub or walls damaged, to install the Ultimate Shower Chair.
- At a weight of 32 lbs., the unit is light and easy to take out of the tub for other bathers who don't require an assistive chair. It can also be removed in two parts - the seat/carriage at 20 lbs. and the base at 12 lbs.
- The Ultimate Shower Chair prevents injuries to clients and care providers because care providers don't need to step into a potentially slippery bathtub to transfer a client.
- The chair reduces distress caused by fear of injury to clients.
- Customization work is available at an extra cost to adapt The Ultimate Shower Chair to bathtubs with other than the given specific bathtub dimensions. (Please supply dimensions for quotation)
