The Hip Solution(tm) Bath and Shower Transfer Bench
Brand: Platinum Health
Color: Blue
The HIP SOLUTION premium, padded, sliding transfer bench and bath/shower chair is the perfect bathroom aid for individuals with decreased and/or painful mobility challenges due to post-op pain, swelling and range of motion limitations. It is the only transfer bench designed to eliminate both falls and skin tears. In addition, the swivel seat eliminates the need for the device to protrude inconveniently into the bathroom like many old-style, non-swiveling models. The HIP SOLUTION is the only transfer bench that incorporates a padded seat base, backrest and pivoting armrests for the ultimate in safety and comfort and ease of transfer. The effortless horizontal sliding travel completely eliminates the need to perform dangerous "scooting" across the bench. The soft padding prevents skin tears and feels much warmer to the skin than standard hard plastic models. All surfaces are easy to clean and disinfect. The quick, tool-less height adjustment feature allows the HIP SOLUTION chair to integrate perfectly with virtually every tub on the market. The frame is constructed of rustproof aluminum for years of reliable use. Designed by healthcare professionals with decades of experience in safe bathing and transfers, the HIP SOLUTION is considered the best-in-class transfer bench/bath/shower chair product by nurses, physiotherapists and doctors across the country.

PROFESSIONAL GRADE sliding transfer bench FOR POST-OP HIP/KNEE REPLACEMENT patients. Specifically designed by a world-class team of OTs, PTs and Safe Patient Handling experts to ensure safe and comfortable post-op bathing. Effortless sliding and pivoting for safe, easy transfers in and out of the tub/shower without compromising the surgical repair.
PADDED SEAT, BACK AND ARMRESTS. No more cold, slippery, hard plastic parts like old-style bath chairs; the HIP SOLUTION CHAIR provides warm to the touch, comfortable, slip resistant padding on all main components. The medical-grade, closed-cell molded polyurethane padding will not absorb any water and is easy to clean and disinfect.
SWIVEL-SEAT SPACE SAVING DESIGN. Not only is the swivel seat safer, easier to use and more comfortable than a standard fixed seat, this design means that the chair protrudes into the room much less than a traditional transfer bench. More convenient for the user, and more convenient for others that don't require use of the chair since the free space in the bathroom is much greater.
PIVOTING, WIDTH-ADJUSTABLE ARM RESTS. The padded arm rests can be raised and lowered and locked into place. The rigid armrests act as a leverage point to assist moving onto and off of the chair using a patients arm strength rather straining the surgical repair.
HI CONTRAST COLOR FOR SAFETY. The special HI-VIEW BLUE color makes the key parts of the chair much easier to see by vision impaired and/or dementia afflicted users. Rather than blending in with the background like old-style white benches, the blue contrast significantly reduces slips, trips and falls- the leading cause of injury death in people over 65.
