Shower Chair w/Arms

Shower Chair with Arms provides armrests for patients to use during shower transfers and seated stability, making it easier to lower into and rise from the chair safely. Arms provide important lateral support for patients with balance impairment and help caregivers guide transfers.

The armrests fold up on most models for lateral transfer access. OxyCare supplies shower chairs with multiple accessory configurations and rental is available for patients with temporary bathing support needs.
