Shower Trolley Suppliers in Melbourne

A shower trolley offers a safe system to improve assisted hygiene routines for dependent individuals with low mobility. This type of trolley provides a stable platform lined by a padded polyester tub reinforced with a PVC covering. This allows carers to easily transfer individuals from their bed to the showering area and provide them with necessary hygiene care. 

When transferring a patient, unlike shower commode chairs, shower trolleys can be adjusted to bed height through the use of manual or handset controls. The side mounted column allows the trolley to overlap the bed for a safe and easy transfer. Secure side supports make the individual feel safe and at ease during the transfer and bathing process. The shower trolley can also be adjusted to give care providers better accessibility and an optimal working height to ensure an easy and efficient process. While cleaning, the excess water is drained through a flexible drainage hose via a toilet or floor drain. 

Shower trolleys are available in a range of different models. Each model will differ in size specifications and in the features they provide. Here are some helpful features to look out for when selecting a shower trolley: 

• Dual drainage for more flexibility 
• Centralised locking to ensure maximum stability
• Stainless steel for corrosion and rust resistance
• An additional wedge pillow for hair washing
• A shorter bed length for pediatric care
• The ability to facilitate a semi bath
• Rechargeable battery
• Height adjustment controlled by a handset
• Easy attachment and removal points on the mattress for a simple bathing process
