Benefits of Walk-in Tubs

Benefits of Walk-in Tubs

Walk-in bathtubs are a logical evolution in the innovation of safe bathing solutions for non-ambulatory people. For many, a walk-in tub empowers them with the dignity and independence of taking care of their own personal hygiene needs. Many walk-in bathtubs go beyond the practical, daily bathing needs. They can create a relaxing, luxurious experience for their users.

Identification

Walk-in bathtubs feature a door that opens either inward or outward, depending on the customer's preference. This allows the user to step into the bathtub. When the door is shut, its seams are closed with a watertight seam, forming the basin of the bathtub.

Features

Walk-in bathtubs are designed with a critical emphasis on personal safety, ease of use and dignity. Built-in seating is one feature that is built into the tub's design to allow a user who is unable to stand, to bathe themselves again. The seats are built directly into the tub, providing a comfortable resting place as the user completes his or her bathing routine.

Safety rails are an essential security feature that are installed on the sides and front of the walk-in tub, both on the inside and the outside of the tub. Additional rails can be added at the customer's request, in preferred locations around the tub, to create an even safer bathing experience. Non-skid strips are applied in critical, strategic locations along the bottom of the walk-in tub to provide better traction and minimize chances of slipping or falling if the bather attempts to walk in a wet tub.

Function

These walk-in tubs are designed to enable the user to easily step into the tub without having to raise their foot more than a mere couple of inches from the floor. They can easily close the door and seat themselves on the built-in special seat. At this point, they are able to undress in a safer, more manageable and convenient location.

With the door closed, the user can choose to fill the tub with water and take a bath. Alternatively, they may also use the adjustable, hand-held shower head that is provided, leaving the drain unplugged to allow the water to drain. If taking a bath, the water will need to be drained before the user opens the door to exit.

Benefits

These walk-in bathtubs offer a highly desired sense of independence to those who have previously been dependent on someone else for every need. They enable the user to safely undress, bathe, and dress without full dependence on the aid of a nurse or assistant. These tubs make the possibility of independent living a reality for many non-ambulatory users.
