Bathing can be a challenge for bariatric patients; and a risky one at that, given that water reduces the friction on the floors. Standard seats are not built to support persons who are considered to be in the morbidly obese high BMI range. On the other hand, Type 522BR from Hand Rail Industries has been heavily engineered and tested for high resilience and facility of up to 350kg.

With heavy-duty build quality and a streamlined design, Type 522BR provides safe and comfortable support to bariatric patients while taking a shower, allowing patients to rest with minimal effort required. Made with premium-grade 304 stainless steel, the frame will resist corrosion in the moist environment of the bathroom, ensuring long lasting service and safety. Also included are 304-grade stainless steel coach screws to securely mount the folding shower seat to timber framed walls.

Available with white acrylic seat, Type 522BR has 4 drain holes for water flow, and 3 legs for sturdy support. The product is 960mm wide and 400mm deep from the wall.
