The Bathroom category within the medical supplies section comprises a wide range of aids that make everyday life in the bathroom safer and more comfortable. These include bathing aids, showering aids and toilet aids, specially developed for people with restricted mobility or particular needs. These products support personal hygiene and enable independent use of the bathtub, shower and toilet.
Product groups and application
Bathing aids include, for example, bath lifts, swivelling bath seats and bath boards, which make getting in and out of the bathtub easier. Showering aids such as folding shower seats and shower stools provide secure support and comfort while showering. Toilet aids include commode chairs, raised toilet seats and toilet wheelchairs, which make sitting down and standing up easier and support hygiene.
Selection criteria and brands
When selecting bathroom aids, aspects such as weight, dimensions, seat height and stability are decisive. Many products come in a neutral white and feature practical functions such as adjustable seat heights or folding seats. Well-known brands in this category are drive and Teqler, which stand for quality and functionality.
Bath, shower and toilet aids are listed neither on the MiGeL (FOPH list of aids and appliances) nor on the AHV list of aids; basic health insurance therefore does not cover them. Depending on the situation, supplementary insurance, invalidity insurance (IV) before the reference age or supplementary benefits (EL) may apply. This way, you can find suitable bathroom aids that meet your individual needs and make everyday life easier.
