Chest Straps

  • The simple chest strap safely positions the user in the Wave bath chair. It attaches with hook and loop where needed along the full height of the back, and buckles securely behind.

  • The simple chest strap provides minimal lateral positioning and is best used with clients who are able to maintain their own trunk alignment.

  • The chest strap with adjustable lateral straps gives additional lateral support helping users maintain better trunk alignment in the bath chair. The soft fabric laterals will not get in the way during transfers.

  • Unlike the laterals on most bath chairs, The Wave's soft fabric laterals will not get in the way during transfers.

Head blocks

  • Optional head blocks provide lateral support and positioning for the user’s head.

  • The soft plastic head blocks are on a strap that can be positioned at any height on the back rest. Aside from providing positioning support for clients with poor head control, head blocks can also give the client a feeling of security.

Leg Straps

  • Use the fully adjustable leg straps to position your client’s hips in abduction (or just to provide additional security).

  • Use the fully adjustable leg straps to position your client’s hips in abduction (or just to provide additional security).

Calf rest

  • The calf rest option provides more support for the lower legs and is especially needed when the bath chair is used on one of the stands.

  • The calf rest must be chosen at the time of the original purchase. It cannot be added later.

Tub Stand

  • The optional tub stand raises the bath chair either 5 ½” or 11 ½” higher in the tub depending on the position of the tub stand legs.

  • The Wave on the tub stand. Both stand and chair have slip-resistant feet for stability in the tub. The tub stand legs also fold flat for storage. Quick-release locks allow the bath chair to be attached or removed from the tub stand without using tools.

Shower Stand

  • The shower stand lets you roll your client into the shower stall at a height that allows for better cleaning – and saves your back. Locking casters (4") provide smooth, easy maneuverability.

  • The Wave bath chair on the shower stand.

Tub transfer base

  • The ingenious tub transfer base is ideal for the large or heavy user who needs an over-the-tub shower. It’s much more gentle on your back, too.

  • The tub transfer base starts in the position farthest out of the tub. It is then rolled back over the tub, and the brakes are set.

  • As the upper portion with the bath chair is rotated 90° it moves approximately 12" back over the tub in one motion.

    Note: Take care to select the direction of the pivot, clockwise or counterclockwise, at the time of purchase. (The tub transfer base pictured pivots clockwise into the tub.)

  • The legs of the tub transfer base can be adjusted to fit bathtubs up to 24" high in increments of ⅝". (Use long legs if the edge of your bathtub is more than 20" above the floor.)

  • With the tub transfer base you can perform healthy transfers – either manually or with a mechanical lift – without crowding your bathroom with permanently mounted equipment.

  • The folding, storable tub transfer base makes it possible for everyone in the family to still 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.
