Use the guide below to understand where
Medline’s bath safety products can be
located in and around the bathroom—
to help provide security and stability.
Bathroom Grab Bars and Assist Bars
Install grab bars in your bathroom to offer support in areas
where falls are most likely to occur. These areas include any-
where that might have a wet surface or anywhere people tend
to bend frequently. A grab bar’s primary use is to steady the
user and may not support the weight of a falling individual.
Bathtub Assist Bar – Clamps directly onto the tub wall.
The assist bar makes entry and exit safer. Item: G98006
Wall-Mounted Grab Bars (not shown) – Mounts directly to
your wall to provide an extra grip when standing or sitting in
the tub. (See page 57 for full line)
Transfer Bench
When getting in and out of the tub
becomes a diffi cult and potentially
dangerous task, transfer benches
are a safe alternative. The person
bathing can sit down on the out-
side of the bathtub, swing their
legs over the wall, and then easily
slide across the seat while holding
onto a hand rail mounted on the
opposite side.
Item: G98309G (See pages 54-55
for full line)
Handheld Shower
Hand held showers should
be used for anyone who
bathes with a shower chair
or transfer bench. The 86"
(218 cm) long hose allows
a person to remain seated
while bathing.
Item: G98035 (see page 47)
