In situations where a person needs to be bathed lying down it is important that the bed can be lowered for the person to be transferred – e.g. to a wheelchair, as well as raised to a suitable working height for the carers. Optimum comfort and safety are also important.

Ensures a safe, comfortable and dignified nursing experience for patients
The height adjustable shower/changing bed makes showering and changing safe and comfortable for disabled and people with mobility disabilities. The soft and flexible slats provide the user with optimum comfort, and the electrical height adjustment and the ergonomic design ensure the best possible working environment for the carer. The user-friendliness, the design and the welfare technology results in security and satisfaction for both user and helper.
It is easy to adjust the height of the bed with the hand control, and the bed can quickly be adjusted to the desired level. For example, you can lower the bench to just 30 cm above floor level making the transfer of a user onto the bed smooth and easy. The shower/changing bed has a smooth and cleaning-friendly design. Furthermore, it can be folded to an upright position when not in use to save space in the bathroom.
The shower/changing bed is characterized by its level of comfort. The bed’s double-sided slats are made of polyurethane (PUR) which is a flexible and soft material giving the user a smooth base on the bench. The slats have a soft top side, which makes them very comfortable to lie on and a flatter side for easier rolling of the user. The top side curves slightly downwards towards the middle of the slat. This means that the user lies safely and will naturally stay centered on the bed which ensures a secure position for the person bathing.
The shower/changing bed has a smooth surface and rounded corners which make it easy to clean. Underneath the bed, a flexible hose drains water from the bed frame, and after bathing, you can easily and quickly remove the slats and clean the frame.
The shower/changing bed has electrical height adjustment. The height is adjusted with the electric hand control. This way a carer can lower and raise the bed with one hand. The height adjustment is 30-100 cm, i.e., a total range of 70 cm. Because the bed can be lowered to just 30 cm above floor level, the transfer of the user onto the bed can be done with a minimum of strain of the carer.
