WIBCO - The Walk In Bath Company Ltd

Universal "Slide In" Bath

Wibco has now produced a slide-in bath. Just as we invented the first walk-in bath with an inward opening door in 1996, we are confident that this new approach will benefit many people who really want a bath and are not happy to be obliged to use a shower.

As most people are aware, all walk-in baths require the bather to step in and out of the bath, and this can still be difficult for some - especially those in wheelchairs or using walking frames.

This new model can be used independently by anyone who has even modest upper body strength. If a carer is needed to help the bather, then very little effort should be necessary to assist the bather to enter and exit the bath.

The Universal will be of particular benefit to Nursing and Care homes as the gel coat surface on the bath incorporates an anti-bacterial agent (another first in the industry) and so is ideal for multi-user situations.

Some facts and figures:

• Seat height is the same as a wheelchair
• No need for a lift or hoist
• Anti slip base
• No electrical power required
• Easy to instal
• Double wastes for fast emptying
• Supplied with a TMV3 thermostatic valve and taps
• Low cost
• Dimensions: Height 1130mm (44"); Length 1315mm (52"); Width 700mm (28")
