Transfer Benches
A transfer bench is a device that is designed to assist individuals in transferring in and out of the shower or bathtub. It is typically used by people who have difficulty standing up or sitting down in the shower or bathtub due to injuries, disabilities, or age-related conditions. The transfer bench consists of a seat and backrest that are mounted on a frame with four legs, two of which are designed to be placed inside the shower or bathtub and two of which are placed outside. The user sits on the bench and slides their legs into the shower or bathtub, using the bench for support. Transfer benches are an important tool for increasing the independence and safety of people with disabilities or mobility impairments, as they can help to prevent slips and falls in the shower or bathtub.
