Shower Buddy - SB1

Converting a bathroom for mobility needs is typically a major undertaking.
Often the entire bathroom requires full remodeling including bespoke shower, toilet or vanity units to cater for these special requirements.
This comes at significant cost, time and stress.
For people renting, coping with mobility needs can be harder still – bathroom alterations are simply not an option.
With ShowerBuddy, this is no longer an issue.
The ShowerBuddy SB1 was designed to offer complete shower and toilet use for individuals with mobility requirements – all without making a single change to existing bathroom fixtures.
In just under an hour of setup and configuration, the ShowerBuddy SB1 allows for transfer in and out of a step in shower unit, and positioning over a standard toilet.
Moving house? Just pack down the ShowerBuddy SB1 and set it up in the new home.
ShowerBuddy SB1 is the perfect accompaniment for family members or caregivers who support a person with mobility needs, with a transfer system that removes the need for heavy lifting at shower times.With its aluminium and stainless steel construction along with a patented chair and bridge design, a ShowerBuddy SB1 provides reliable function, day in, day out.

How It Works
Showering
The ShowerBuddy SB1 is made up of a comfortable, sturdy chair and a bridge unit to allow transfer:

  • Simply line up the unit with a step-in shower and move the seated user back in the chair, along the bridge.
  • Safe, waterproof suction feet fix the chair to the shower floor.
  • The bridge can be removed at this point, allowing caregiver access.
  • The chair can rotate, offering different positions to suit preferences and get assistance with cleaning.
  • Once finished, the chair connects back onto the bridge, allowing for easy transfer out of the shower unit.
  • The base can stay in the shower, or be removed quickly so other family members can use the shower as usual.

Toileting
Use of the existing toilet in a bathroom is made easier with the ShowerBuddy SB1’s comfortable chair. It’s height-adjustable to suit the user.

  • Locking caster wheels allow the ShowerBuddy SB1 chair unit to be maneuvered and secured over the toilet.
  • When the chair is not in use, a full overlay cushion accessory closes the opening, making the ShowerBuddy SB1 a comfortable day chair.
  • If the user needs a nighttime commode, the ShowerBuddy SB1 is ready for the task with included pan and lid.
