WHY SHOWERBUDDY?

Remodeling a bathroom because of a disability can be a very expensive and disruptive process. It may not even be an option if you are renting. Now there is solution. Showerbuddy transfer systems fit into most existing showers or bath tubs allowing a disabled person to shower in their own bathroom again with dignity,  ease and comfort. With a fraction of the cost of a remodel you can enjoy a shower the same day. Depending on the disability and the configuration of your bathroom, we can customize a unit to fit your needs.

MANUAL HANDLING

Transferring people may involve a number of manual handling tasks. Showerbuddy has undertaken numerous trials and design revisions to provide a better ergonomic design and a  safer solution for caregivers while also reducing the number of transfers required for the user. Care should be taken when transferring. Undertaking a transfer produces particular difficulties such as how to grip the person and the need to counter unpredictable movements. The degree of assistance a person can provide, their ability to comply with the handling, the degree of pain experienced, or the presence of particular health conditions can also affect the way the transfer must be done. This handling will usually require a more detailed assessment.  professional advice, practices and guidelines should be sought prior to attempting a transfer. Also refer to the Owners Manual / Safety Instructions.

INFECTION CONTROL

Showerbuddy chairs and transfer systems have been designed for efficient infection control by avoiding any build up of body fluids or wastewater by  incorporatingdrainage pathways within the chair frame and parts. All models are finished in a hard, smooth powder coat finish for an easy clean surface and use sealed foam cushions, neck rest parts and arm rests for easy wipe cleaning and no porosity. Seat cushions and other foam and plastic parts are easily replaced if required during refurbishment prior to reissue to a new client. Showerbuddy products have a metal frame made of very high strength Aluminum, grade 6061 T6, which provides a long life, trouble free and non-corrosive solution with no rust or deterioration. All mechanical parts and hardware are grade  304 Stainless Steel.

Plastic parts that facilitate movement during transfer are manufactured from POM non-porous plastic and other parts in PA grade plastic for ease of cleaning the exposed parts.
