allows individuals with limited mobility or injury to sit while they shower. This can provide independence and peace of mind for people who are at risk of falling so they can enjoy their shower while maintaining personal hygiene.<\/p>\n<p>With a transfer tub bench the user can sit down on the outside of the bathtub, swing their legs over the tub wall and enter the tub by grasping the armrest and sliding across the plastic transfer bench. The legs and backrest are typically height-adjustable to fit different tubs and for extra stability and comfort.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use of the Device<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Decreased mobility, hygiene, safety, bathing and low endurance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Temporary or Permanent Equipment Considerations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Temporary conditions may require options that can be removed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Permanent conditions may require remodeling or changing the physical environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shower seating devices are typically temporary.
