New range of modular disabled shower units for the care environment

Gainsborough Specialist Bathrooms, Europe’s leading choice in hi-lo assisted baths, has launched a new range of assistive showers to complement its popular baths and recently introduced patient hoists.

As part of the Gainsborough Baths group Gainsborough Specialist Bathrooms has manufactured in the UK for over 25 years and the launch of this new showering range offers care providers with a number of significant advantages. These modular shower units, with integrated folding seats, encompass the same high levels of quality, safety and comfort associated with Gainsborough baths. Ideal for high-traffic environments in long term care or acute care settings, these new assisted showering solutions are exceptionally durable and remarkably versatile. The ability to shower safely and in complete comfort has been carefully considered throughout the product development process. This has resulted in showering solutions that incorporate Gainsborough’s innovative MicroGuard antimicrobial protection. This greatly reduces the risk of infection and TMV2/3 thermostatically controlled shower units prevent any risk of scalding.

Gordon Farmiloe, Gainsborough Baths Managing Director commented: “2013 has already proven to be highly successful for Gainsborough and this latest launch will further strengthen our product portfolio so that we can offer our customers a more comprehensive package of solutions. We are regarded as leading innovators in the assisted bathing market and have employed all our expertise in developing this new showering range. These exciting new solutions are the result of an intensive period of development and the investment will ensure the range will meet all the demands of the modern care environment.”

Available in three modular sizes to accommodate various room layouts, the new assistive showers from Gainsborough maximise accessibility and versatility through intelligent design. They are available with a wide choice of wallboard and flooring options for new build or retrofit installations. Each shower module comes with a low-level access, slip resistant shower tray and is available with half-height shower doors or flat glass screens.  Showering comfort is further enhanced with the addition of a soft-touch, padded seat or mobile shower chair to assist with client transfers in and out of the bathroom.
