How to choose bathroom safety aids
- Shower chair or stool. A shower chair with arms and a backrest (HP-AH01, AH05) gives the most support when sitting down and standing up. A backrest-only chair (HP-AH02) or the round stool (HP-AH04) fits smaller showers.
- Bathtub access. The HP-AH06 tub transfer bench straddles the tub wall, so the user sits down outside the tub and slides across.
- Commode chair. Bedside commode chairs (HP-AG01 to AG03, AG08) have a removable bucket. Wheeled models (HP-AG04 to AG07) move the user between bedroom and bathroom; HP-AG06 and AG07 have waterproof seats. HP-AH07 is a shower chair with a commode bucket.
- Transfers. HP-AG09 is an electric lift chair with joystick control, and HP-AG10 is raised and lowered by hand cranks. Both help caregivers move patients between bed, toilet and chair.
- Fit. Compare the seat height range, seat depth and weight rating of each model with your users.

Frequently asked questions
+How do I choose a shower chair?
Start with the user's balance and the shower space. Users who need support when sitting down and standing up should have armrests and a backrest, as on HP-AH01 and HP-AH05. Check the seat height range against the user's leg length: listed ranges run from 35 to 45 cm (HP-AH02) to 38 to 56 cm (HP-AH04). Seats with drainage holes (HP-AH01, HP-AH02, HP-AH05) let water run off.
+Tub transfer bench vs shower chair: which do I need?
A shower chair stands inside a walk-in shower or inside the tub. A tub transfer bench such as HP-AH06 is longer and straddles the bathtub wall: the user sits down outside the tub and slides across, so there is no need to step over the tub edge. Choose a transfer bench when stepping into the bathtub is unsafe.
+Which shower chair fits a small shower?
The HP-AH04 round shower stool has a 33 x 33 cm footprint and weighs 1.5 kg. If the user needs back support in a tight space, the HP-AH02 shower chair with backrest is 42 cm deep and 50 cm wide.
+What is the difference between a commode chair and a commode chair with wheels?
A standard commode chair (HP-AG01 to HP-AG03, HP-AG08) stays beside the bed and has a removable bucket. A commode chair with wheels (HP-AG04 to HP-AG07) can also be pushed between rooms by a caregiver. HP-AG06 and HP-AG07 have waterproof seats and are rated to 125 kg.
+Is a patient transfer chair the same as a patient lift?
No. HP-AG09 and HP-AG10 are seated transfer chairs: the patient sits in the chair while the seat is raised or lowered, electrically on HP-AG09 and by hand cranks on HP-AG10, and both include a commode seat. They are not sling hoists.
