Benefits

Why bath aids make getting in and out of the bath safe

For many people, bathing remains an important part of quality of life – yet getting in and out of the tub is one of the riskiest movements in the bathroom. A bath grab rail, a bath step or a bath seat takes the risk out of this movement: the user keeps a secure hold, can steady themselves and bathe seated instead of balancing over the wet edge of the tub.

Fall prevention

A secure hold on the tub edge defuses the most critical position when getting in and out.

Preserving independence

Bathing seated without help from others – preserves dignity and autonomy.

Relief for carers

Less lifting and supporting, a calmer routine and a lower physical burden on care staff.

Types

Which bath aid suits which need?

Depending on mobility and the bathroom situation, different solutions come into question – the five basic types:

1Bath grab railClamps onto the tub edge without drilling and provides support when getting in – for more mobile users who need a handhold.

2Bath stepAn additional step reduces the height to the tub edge – helpful for deep tubs or reduced mobility.

3Bath board seatA seat that rests across the tub edges. The user bathes seated – without having to lower themselves into the tub and climb back out.

4Swivel bath seatBath board seat with 360° swivel function: sit down from the side, rotate, swing the legs comfortably over the edge.

5Transfer turntableFlat rotating disc for gentle transfers, e.g. from a wheelchair – less friction and effort during the transfer.

Installation

“No drilling” – why it matters in care provision

Many care situations take place in rented flats. Drilling into the tub edge or tiles is often only possible there with the landlord’s consent and an obligation to restore. That is why all NORDIC bath aids in this category work without drilling – as clamp-on, board or free-standing solutions: installed in minutes, with no intervention in the building fabric and removable without residue. Ideal for home care, assisted living and reuse.

Purchasing

What buyers should look for when choosing

How difficult is getting in?

Slight unsteadiness: grab rail. Tub edge too high: step. Limited mobility: bath board seat. Severely limited mobility: swivel seat.

Check tub dimensions

Board and swivel seats are designed for inner tub widths of 69–78 cm – check before purchase.

Seat type

Standard seat for comfort, hygiene seat with cut-out for intimate care and drainage – often the first choice in care.

Rented or owned?

All models can be used without drilling – a clear argument in any consultation.

Certified medical devices

All models are medical devices under CE MDR Class 1 – the stated maximum load is part of the documented product specification.

Hygiene & cleaning

Powder-coated steel frames and smooth plastic seats can be wipe-disinfected – a prerequisite for professional use.

Quality for professional use

Built for reuse

All bath and bath entry aids are CE MDR Class 1 and 100 % made in Europe. Corrosion-protected materials, closed surfaces and non-slip components ensure a long service life in wet areas. Every product comes with a 5-year warranty – wear parts are available from our spare parts & accessories.

FAQ

Does a bath grab rail hold securely without drilling?

Yes, when correctly installed. The clamp of the SAFETY rail holds on the tub edge – with a maximum load of 130 kg. What matters is a firmly tightened clamp and a tub edge suitable for clamping.

Bath board seat or swivel seat – what is the difference?

With a board seat, the user sits down sideways on the fixed seat and swings the legs over the edge. The swivel seat rotates 360°: sit down, rotate, swing the legs in – much easier with limited mobility.

Do the seats fit every bathtub?

Board and swivel seats are designed for inner tub widths of 69–78 cm. That fits many common tubs – please check the inner dimensions before purchase.

Are the models suitable for professional care?

Yes. Corrosion-protected materials with wipe-disinfectable surfaces, individually available spare parts and a 5-year warranty make them suitable for hospitals, care homes and home care. Your conditions are shown in your dealer account.

What is the EASY turntable for?

As a transfer aid outside the tub: it allows the user to be turned gently, e.g. from a wheelchair towards the tub, bed or toilet – without the body having to be lifted.

Do I need a seat and a grab rail?

Often, yes. The rail secures getting in and out, the seat enables bathing seated. They complement each other but can be used independently.
