In order to enhance bathing independence for people living with either temporary or permanent mobility impairments, the PowerSlide Carousel Sliding Transfer Bench by Platinum Health sports an electric-powered traverse used to move the occupant into and out of the bathtub. Transforming the ways that bath transfers are performed, this innovative transfer bench is eminently safe and easy to use! Its feature-rich design includes smooth, push-button electric horizontal travel, keeping the user securely in the seat as it moves across the rail. The user sits on the seat with their legs outside of the tub wall and pushes a button on the integrated, corded remote control to start the transfer process.
The PowerSlide's waterproof components ensure reliable functionality in the shower. Helping to prevent the trips, falls, slips, skin tears, and other injuries commonly associated with showering and bathing, this unique sliding bath transfer bench can also eliminate the need for a caregiver as it helps so many people to safely bathe independently with its powered controls.
Unlike traditional transfer benches, the Powerslide offers a 360-degree swiveling seat that's not only easier, safer, and more comfortable to use but also offers a small footprint, preserving limited bathroom space. And unlike the cold, hard, slippery plastic parts on other bath chairs, this bath bench comes with a padded back, seat, and armrests that are warm to the touch and slip-resistant. Optimizing user comfort and safety, its medical-grade, closed-cell molded polyurethane padding is water-resistant and easy to clean, disinfect, and maintain.
The PowerSlide's robust, pivoting armrests can be raised and lowered as needed for access and transfers, easily locking into place for secure placement. Providing physical safety as well as psychological support against the fear of slips and falls, the strong armrests can also be used as leverage points to help users get into and out of the swivel chair. An adjustable safety strap further enhances user safety and confidence.
Easy to assemble in less than 5 minutes without tools, the Powerslide provides height-adjustable legs to fit almost any sized bathtub. Its lightweight aluminum frame is durable and rustproof, specially designed to withstand constant contact with water for long-lasting functionality and appearance. The swivel seat, armrests, and back use Hi-View Blue coloring to make it easier to discern than white benches, which simply blend in with the background. This high blue contrast helps users living with vision impairments and/or dementia to distinguish the chair from its surroundings, significantly reducing the risk of trips, slips, and falls - the leading cause of death by injury in people over 65. The Powerslide Carousel is frequently utilized in long-term care, assisted living, physical rehabilitation facilities, and at home.
