Description

When we make bathing easier, our clients are healthier. The Wave system has been designed to improve bathing and showering  for the client and for the caregiver.

Base options

If you need to raise the chair in the tub (to save your back), get the tub stand. The shower stand allows you to reach the client at standing height.

To transfer a large or heavy user for an over-the-tub shower use the back-saving rotating transfer base. With its ingenious slide-rotate action you can place your client on the bath chair (even with a lift, if necessary) and move them over the tub without strain.

Wider and more comfortable than ever

Added padding makes it even more comfortable and gentle on sensitive skin. The large wave is 171/2” wide and it will accommodate adults up to 6’2” and 250lbs. the Small and medium are 15″ wide.

Easy to adjust

The Wave is truly tool free, not only for initial assembly but also for all adjustments, many while in use. Adjust the backrest angle with one hand which allows the caregiver to keep the other hand on the client for safety and reassurance. Adjust the angle of the seat by releasing the two triggers underneath.Adjust the calf rest independently by pushing the gray buttons and rotating up or down.

Positions like no other bath chair

The Wave is the only bath chair with separate seat and calf rest adjustments. That means you can comfortably position the client with just the right hip and leg angle.

  • The backrest adjusts from flat to 75° in 6 increments.
  • The seat adjusts from flat to 75° in 6 increments.The calf rest adjusts separately from the seat in 15° increments – making it possible to make it flat or adjust it to 90°, or an angle in between.
  • More seat heights are available using the base.
  • To get the chair low in the tub, rotate both front and back legs straight out as shown.

Thoughtful details

  • Conversion kits are the smart solution for growing children. For a fraction of the cost you can convert a small to a medium bath chair. We’ll send you a new larger fabric cover, back and seat frames and chest strap with instructions on how to remove the old and install the new parts on your existing base.
  • The Wave has a washable fabric cover that is easily removed for cleaning.
  • Rifton designed the bath chair to fold flat and hang on the wall out of the way.
  • The folding storable tub transfer base makes it possible for everyone in the family to use the tub.
  • When you are finished just remove the base from the tub, fold the legs, and hang it on the wall hook provided.
