Optional Bather Supports and Cushioning
To ensure that the bathing process is as relaxing and enjoyable as possible whilst maintaining bather
safety it is important that the correct use of bather supports is made.
Each bather’s needs may be entirely different and an assessment by an Occupational Therapist
should be undertaken for each user of the bath and the correct supports used. Kingkraft manufacture
a range of standard and custom-built supports, some of which may have been supplied with this
Easibath. Their aim is to position the bather comfortably yet securely.
Some supports rely on suckers to hold them in position.
WARNING!
The bathing cushions are made from PVC.
Please make sure the user will not have any allergic reactions to this material before use.
Some supports are attached to the base of the bath by suckers.
In all cases these suckers should be attached to the bath itself and not to any other mattress or
support.
The use of suckers is designed to allow the support to be removed.
This also means that the support may move inadvertently if subjected to sufficient force by the user or
if excess air appears in the PVC cover.
Extreme care is needed to ensure the supports are correctly specified and used.
The supports will also have a tendency to float.
The bather must never be left unattended in the bath, especially if using supports and cushioning.
If in any doubt about their safe use, or the degree of secure support required do not attempt to use.
please contact kingkraft immediately for advice
