Bath lifts


A bath lift is a support device for use in the bathroom. It is positioned in the tub such that the user can do the raising and lowering without much stress and go about his/her daily ablutions. There are various alternative and adaptations to this concept of a bath lift, as with the passage of time and demands of customers, manufacturers and designers have consistently been trying to create and give the best of quality bath support care and control to consumers

Types of bath lifts

There are many kinds of bath lifts. There are ones that lift and swivel to carry you over the edge of the tub and then conveniently lower you into the water and also unobtrusive systems that allow you to settle right down, into the water, which can also be tucked away when not in use. There are inflatable bath lifts as well which are lightweight and easy to relocate but not as sturdy as the regular ones.
Bath lifts may be powered by battery or waterpower but there are bath lifts that can be activated by the user's own slight body movements as well. Bath lifts are a great way to regain full use of your bathroom and give a sense of independence to the user, which is not possible to such an extent if bath chairs and stools are, used which require some amount of manual manipulation. Some manufacturers have bath lifts with a seat and backrest unit made either of solid plastic or mesh fabric and also the option of a reclining mechanism which gives the user a more relaxing bathing experience.

Usage and utility of bath lifts

For those that have difficulty getting in or out of a bath, there are bath lifts to facilitate easy movement without the help of an assistant and which are fully motorized to perform the lifting, lowering, seating and retraction action on their own with simple push of a switch or dial. Most companies allow for a free demonstration and instruction to potential customers and sufficient literature to cover all queries they may have on the topic.
The bath lift can be easily installed with the help of four suction pads that cling to the bottom of the bathtub and keep it secure. The lift can raise the person from near the bottom of the tub right up to the rim of the bathtub.
