Tub Rail
Tub Rail is a clamp-mounted grab bar that attaches to the side wall of a bathtub without permanent installation, providing a secure grip point for patients during tub entry, exit, and bathing. It is a practical safety addition for patients who do not require a full transfer bench but need assistance managing the step-over required to enter the tub.
Tub rails are adjustable and fit most standard bathtub walls. OxyCare supplies tub rails as a bathroom safety accessory alongside shower chairs and transfer benches, and rental is available.
