Shower aids are specially designed devices that make showering easier for people with limited mobility or balance. In this category you will find various products such as shower chairs, shower stools and fold-down shower seats that increase safety and comfort in the bathroom. These aids are usually made from waterproof and easy-to-clean materials and offer stable seating surfaces as well as non-slip feet.
Shower chairs and stools differ in their design and functionality. Shower chairs often have a backrest and armrests, whereas shower stools are more compact and lighter. Fold-down shower seats can be mounted on the wall to save space and folded down when required. The seat height is often adjustable to enable an ergonomic sitting position. Typical dimensions for these products are a seat width of around 41 cm, a seat height between 42 and 48 cm as well as a maximum load capacity of approximately 130 kg.
When choosing a shower aid, you should pay attention to the appropriate dimensions, stability and ease of use. Products from brands such as drive and Teqler offer different models that are suitable for various needs and bathroom sizes. Shower aids with the HMV number 04.40.03.2021 are usually recognised by health insurers and can therefore provide support with financing.
