Bathroom routines get harder as a child gets bigger, and most of the difficulty lands on whoever is helping. The R82 Heron is a toileting and bathing chair for older children and teenagers, designed so both the young person and the carer come out of the routine in better shape.
Who it suits
A child or teenager who needs full support for showering and toileting, and a household or facility where the carer is doing that work several times a day.
The height adjustment, hydraulic or powered, is the feature carers notice. Bringing the chair to the right working height means less time bent over or twisted sideways, which is how bathroom care ends up causing back injuries. The same adjustment makes transfers on and off easier to control.
Comfort was designed in using pressure mapping, so the seat holds up when the young person is in it for a longer shower or a slower toileting routine rather than only for a few minutes. The result is a young person who stays relaxed and supported, and a routine you can repeat every day without dreading it.
