ShowerBuddy Shower Transfer System (SB1)

Seamless shower transfers without costly bathroom renovations

The ShowerBuddy SB1 Shower Transfer System is an innovative solution for individuals who are unable to safely step into a standard shower. Designed for users with limited mobility, it allows a single, seamless transfer from the toilet directly into the shower enclosure. By utilising a unique bridge and chair mechanism, it eliminates the need for expensive and disruptive bathroom modifications. This provides occupational therapists and aged care facilities with a versatile, dignified toileting and bathing option that significantly reduces manual handling risks for caregivers.

Seamless Bridge Transfer

The system utilizes an innovative bridge and chair design that connects the bathroom floor directly to the shower base. Users are safely seated outside the shower and smoothly rolled across the bridge. Once inside, the bridge can be disconnected to allow the shower door or curtain to close completely. This mechanism significantly reduces the manual lifting required by caregivers and ensures a safe transition over lips or hobs.

Avoid Costly Renovations

Many bathrooms are not naturally accessible and modifying them can involve significant expense and disruption. The ShowerBuddy allows facilities and home users to adapt their existing bathroom layout without construction work. The track system is designed to navigate standard bathroom environments and step-in showers. This provides a fast, cost-effective solution for immediate accessibility needs.

Enhanced Safety Features

User security is prioritized throughout the entire bathing process with multiple integrated safety systems. The transfer chair comes equipped with both lap and chest belts to maintain proper postural support. Locking caster wheels prevent any accidental movement during transfers or while showering. These features give peace of mind to both the individual and their support workers during daily hygiene routines.

Adjustable and Customizable

To accommodate diverse user needs and bathroom setups, the system features extensive adjustability. The seat height can be modified between 550 and 675 millimetres to match the height of existing toilets or beds. Foldaway footrests and flat armrests provide further customization for comfortable positioning and easier side transfers. This flexibility makes it highly suitable for multi-user environments such as aged care facilities.

The robust build supports a safe working load of 160 kilograms. The chair can also rotate a full 360 degrees once inside the shower, maximizing the available space for the caregiver to assist with washing. It is an easy to clean system that maintains high hygiene standards across its lifespan.
