Tub chairs can be of great benefit to the elderly and disabled. Bath tub chairs ensure that their occupants are safe from the possibility of slipping in the shower or being stuck in a bath tub. Caregivers who bathe patients can also benefit from these chairs.

All tub chairs feature non-slip bottoms. A large proportion of tub chairs come with a robust handle. A safe bathing experience for people who are physically frail requires more safety measures.

For enhanced safety, slip-reducing appliques should be used at the base of the tub. Another measure to increase safety and lower the probability of a bathroom mishap is to use handrails inside and outside the tub area.

Some tub chairs also feature seats, which can slide for easier movement. These have a starting point outside the bath. The patient himself or the caregiver can quite easily slide the seat over the bath. This further reduces the risk of the patient slipping in the bath tub. There are several specialist companies in the US that produce a range of tub chairs, that the ship worldwide.

Tub chairs catering specially to those suffering from obesity are also available. These specially designed chairs let obese people clean up in a much better way. Sponge baths are acceptable when there is no other alternative, but most of the time a sponge bath is not able to remove all of the bacteria in skin folds. This can lead to infections and other health problems.

Many tub seats are available for those who find it difficult to sit up without someone’s help. It is possible to tilt these seats within an angle of forty to 90 degrees. A lot of them use belts to secure the occupant. These chairs thus ensure safe baths for their occupants, who otherwise would be left with the option of using sponge in bed.
