Shower Buddy – Tub Buddy SB2

Many individuals with mobility needs have a shower/bath combo at home. Maneuvering over the edge of the bathtub comes with its challenges, even with the aid of a carer. Many homeowners will opt for bathroom modifications to make accessing a shower bath easier.

The TubBuddy SB2 transfer system for Shower Buddy is designed to allow safe and simple access to a shower bath with the help of a carer – without any permanent changes to fixtures necessary. TubBuddy consists of a comfortable chair and elevated bridge, capable of clearing most regular bathtub sides. TubBuddy is a full featured raised toilet chair, eliminating extra transfers between the shower and the toilet. TubBuddy reduces costs, improves hygiene and saves time.  Mobility impairment no longer requires bathroom remodelling.
