Scorpio

For effortless wheelchair transfer. A fully rising bath which is both luxuriously comfortable and highly practical, the Scorpio includes a specially designed post-mounted seat which can be adjusted to the required height for bathers. The seat also moves from side to side, for maximum manoeuvrability.

In this way, bathers can safely and easily be transferred from wheelchair to bath in total comfort. The seat can be lowered outside the bath to within 250mm of the floor, facilitating the easy transfer of the bather from wheelchair to seat. The seat is then raised to the rim height before lowering the bather into the bath, and/or for raising the bath to the optimum working height for the carer.

The seat's universal adjustment feature, combined with the vertical movement of the bath, allows carers to set the bathing height at the level which provides most comfort for bather and carer alike.



The Scorpio can also be fitted with an extension which raises the seat higher than the bath rim to provide an easier transfer for clients with limited joint mobility.

The seat may be part of a transport system, detached from the bath and attached to a chassis and wheeled to the bather's bedroom for direct transfer of the patient from bed to seat - then simply from seat to bath. This eliminates the need for a series of difficult transfers from bed-wheelchair-seat-bath and vice-versa.

The Scorpio is a rising bath with an adjustable height seat on a post, bath filler tap and pop up waste.
