Mobile shower commodes
Our mobile shower commodes are developed to promote ergonomic and safe working conditions for caregivers, while providing dignified personal care for the end user. They have been designed with particular focus on user-friendliness, movability, and a small footprint, making them suitable for home care as well as nursing homes and hospitals.
Dignified hygiene routines for both users and carers
A shower commode chair with wheels reduces the need for transfers, since users can remain in place when using the shower, toilet or when going to and from the bathroom. The range includes self-propelled models for the more independent users, as well as tilt-in-space shower commode chairs for those who need more assistance. Our different series, models and accessories offer a multitude of options to adapt each chair to meet individual needs, and ensure a good fit to most toilet models.
Mobile shower commodes FAQ
A mobile shower commode can be propelled by an attendant or carer to transport the person to and from the toilet, compensating for reduced mobility. For individuals who can stand up and walk short distances, a commode chair is a practical alternative. Equipped with a pan or a bucket, it can be placed beside the bed or in any convenient location, reducing the need to walk to the bathroom.
A mobile shower commode combines the functions of a shower chair and a commode, providing greater safety and independence during hygiene routines. Fitted with wheels for easy movement, it reduces the need for multiple transfers, saving carers time and effort. Users can remain seated while showering, toileting, or moving to and from the bathroom.
Etac´s range includes self-propelled models for independent users and tilt-in-space chairs for those requiring extra support. Equipped with a pan or bucket, the chair can also serve as a stand-alone toilet chair beside the bed. For more information, read our Product guide mobile shower commodes.
Mobile shower commode chairs are versatile and can be used for showering, toileting, and transportation. For users, they enhance comfort and safety during hygiene routines, helping reduce the risk of falls on slippery surfaces. For caregivers, they minimise physical strain and promote safer, more ergonomic working conditions. Equipped with wheels, they provide flexibility and convenience for both the user and the caregiver.
Yes, most shower chairs have specified weight limits to ensure safe and stable use. These limits vary by model and manufacturer, and products are usually tested to verify the maximum user weight.
Etac´s bathroom aids are thoroughly tested to ensure maximum user weight and are available with weight limits of 130 kg to 160 kg. To find the exact weight limit for a specific product, visit our website, check the user manual, or contact your local representative.
For individuals with limited trunk control, a mobile shower chair with tilt-in-space functionality, multiple adjustment options, and supportive accessories is recommended. These features help maintain a safe and comfortable position throughout the shower. Within Etac's range, the Swift Mobil Tilt-2 and the Alto are the best options.
Yes, mobile shower commodes can be used at home, but there are a few considerations. Many bathrooms have limited space and narrow doorways, making manoeuvring challenging. It is also important that the commode is easy for caregivers or family members to handle. Choosing a model with compact dimensions can help with practical use in a home environment.
Yes, many mobile shower commodes are designed to work well with hoists and transfer aids. The commode's open design underneath makes it easy to slide the mobile hoist legs into position before lifting, and the foot supports can be moved out of the way to create more space. In addition, arm supports can be adjusted or lifted, which makes it easier to use a transfer board for side-to-side moves. This reduces the need for heavy lifting and improves safety and comfort for the user and caregiver.
Mobile shower commodes alleviate caregiver strain by simplifying hygiene routines such as showering and toileting. On wheels, the shower commode reduces the need for patient transfers as the user can remain seated when moved between different areas. Features such as height adjustment and seat openings provide easy access for caregivers, enabling them to maintain a healthy, ergonomic posture and reducing the risk of injury when assisting with personal hygiene.
