Washington Tilt-in-Space Shower Cradle: safer and easier assisted bathing
 |
Meet the Washington Tilt-in-Space Shower Cradle, a reliable shower cradle for assisted bathing that keeps users comfortable and helps carers work with less strain. Created for people with significant physical impairments or progressive conditions, it suits care homes, community settings and at-home care. Moreover, it performs well wherever extra postural support and smooth repositioning matter.
The cradle uses tilt-in-space geometry to deliver excellent postural support and pressure management. In practice, the cradle tilts from 5 to 35 degrees, so you can find a safe, comfortable washing position quickly. Furthermore, the dual gas spring assembly provides hydraulically powered assistance when you raise or tilt the cradle, which reduces the musculoskeletal stress carers often feel during transfers and repeated adjustments. |
|
Why carers love it A single rear-mounted control handle operates the tilt. In addition, you can fit this handle to the right or left side to suit right-hand or left-hand carers. As a result, carers can operate the cradle with one hand while using the other hand to support the user. |

Designed with clinicians and carers in mind The cradle was developed in collaboration with Occupational Therapists and other healthcare professionals. Their hands-on feedback helped shape the tilt geometry, support contours and accessory layout. Consequently, the cradle improves positioning, makes transfers safer and simplifies routine cleaning. |
Built to last in wet environmentsThe frame uses stainless steel and receives an electrostatic coating for a durable, corrosion-resistant finish. In addition, a silver-ion antimicrobial treatment has been applied to lower surface porosity and help with hygiene. Castors are corrosion resistant and include locking options, which give stable, reliable manoeuvrability during bathing. |
