Sliding Transfer Benches for My Tub - Questions and Answers

Sliding Transfer Benches for My Tub - Questions and Answers

  • Q: I wish I was computer competent and could draw a picture, a regular chair will fit into the tub, its shape on the inside is oval but the 
    outside edge of the tub is wide and has a step on it. my husband can not step over it and needs a transfer bench, the one the medical supply place brought us had a ridge with drain holes to keep the water from going out of the tub but the ridge was on the outside of the tub and the water drained onto the step then the floor. Is this a better explanation?
    • A: If regular transfer bench fits your tub, any of our sliding transfer benches should fit too. Better than regular models, a sliding transfer bench has much bigger "drain holes" - any where beside the sliding seat can drain. Even the seat has many small holes on it. So it is easy and safe to transfer patient into the tub and keep the water just inside the tub (with tub curtain). The following models are recommended for you to choose:

      The seat can swivel 360 degrees and locked each 90 degrees. So you can turn your husband to any directions before or after sliding him in.

      Similar to the previous one, this bench can be set up as shown on the picture. The seat can swivel. This model offers higher support capacity if needed.

      Extra Long Sliding Transfer Bench

      Although not swivel, this extra long model provides longer sliding distance just in case your tub is too big (you may not need this if you tub is not over sized or if your bathroom is too small).
      o A: If you want softer seat to add more comfort to your husband, you can consider the following Padded models that offer similar functions as the models above:
