A bath is still the only washing option in plenty of homes, and stepping over the rim is where the fall happens. This Sunrise Medical transfer bench spans the rim so your client sits down on the dry side and slides across into the bath, with no weight going through a raised leg.
It is the bariatric model, so the seat is wider and the load rating higher than a standard bench. The backrest reverses without tools for a bath that faces either way, and a side arm and a seat handle give something to hold through the slide. The aluminium frame with stainless steel spring pins stands up to constant wet use, and the moulded seat is textured and drains.
It suits larger clients who cannot step into a bath safely and need more seat and more strength than a standard bench offers, particularly where a level access shower is not going to happen.
