A plastic shower seat feels cold and slippery under someone who is already nervous about sitting down wet. This Etac seat pad clicks onto a Swift shower stool or shower chair and gives an immediate warm feeling, with a non slip surface that helps your client stay put while they wash.
It is worth considering for people with reduced sensation, low body weight or a bony pelvis, where a hard seat becomes uncomfortable within minutes and showers get cut short. The pad also gives a bit of grip during a sit to stand at the end of the shower.
The click fitting means support workers can take it off for washing and put it back without tools, which keeps infection control simple in shared bathrooms.
