Shower stretchers

To accommodate for different user needs and for bathrooms of different sizes, the shower stretcher is available in four models, each available in three different lengths.

• The flat model is ideal for users requiring frequent turning. It also works well for both right- and left-handed caregivers as the user’s head can be positioned at either end of the stretcher.
• The model with adjustable backrest enables a slight rising on the left hand side. Rising the user’s head and upper body can facilitate tasks such as washing the user’s hair. The backrest is operated using a gas spring which is fitted, as standard, on the left-hand side. The adjustment range is 5°- 80°.
• Furthermore, the flat and adjustable models are both available with a water receiver and a flexible drain hose. These models catch the water while showering the user and prevent the caregiver from getting wet in the process.

All models feature the same compact design with smooth shapes and surfaces providing for easy maintenance and good hygiene.

The shower stretchers are securely fixed to the wall and are fitted with two support legs ensuring that the load is effectively distributed during use. After use, the shower stretchers can be folded up towards the wall, together with the legs, allowing for more free space for performance of other tasks or for other users of the room. The models without water receiver can also be folded down. A wall clamp locks the shower stretcher to the wall in the folded up position.

The shower stretchers are very easy to install and, naturally, they are made from strong and durable materials which can withstand water and which are easy to keep clean. All models are fitted with a strong textile covering; a woven polyester with plastic coating, which is stretched tightly and firmly attached round the frame and which adapts to the body temperature during use. The covering is fully glued around and flush with the frame to facilitate transfers and provide for good hygiene.
