An Occupational Therapist’s view
The Virgo bath is an excellent choice for bathers with a range of conditions or needs. Firstly, if the person needs carer support the height adjustability ensures good posture is supported throughout the activity. This also maximises dignity, where rather than being looked down on in the bath those involved can make good eye contact in a more dignified way.
If the bather is needing postural supports these can be placed or fixed to the bottom of the bath, supporting safe and effective bathing.
If the bather is being hoisted, may or may not need postural supports, but doesn’t need a changing table or have seizure activity, then the Virgo is a perfect bathing solution.
