Universal Slide in Bath
Wibco has now produced a slide-in bath. Just as we invented the first ever walk-in bath with an inward opening door in 1996 we are confident that this new approach will benefit many people who really want a bath and not be forced to use a shower.
The Universal will be of particular benefit to Nursing and Care homes as the gel coat surface on the bath incorporates an anti bacterial agent (another first in the industry) and so is ideal where there is a multi user situation. Of course, the Universal will also benefit individuals in their own homes to gain an element of independence.
As most people are aware, all walk-in baths require the bather to step in and out of the bath and this can still be difficult for some - especially those in wheel chairs or on Zimmer frames.
This new model can be used independently by anyone who has even modest upper body strength. If a carer is needed to help the bather, then very little effort should be necessary to assist the bather to enter and exit the bath.
