Description
The Mangar Handy Bather weighs 2kg and folds up discreetly allowing the bath to be used by the rest of the family as usual. The Bathing Cushion is designed to allow the user to be easily lowered to the bottom of the bath with the assurance there is adequate battery supply to be raised up again. A small amount of air can be left in the cushion for additional comfort and support whilst bathing. This bath lift is for the person who has reasonable upper body strength. Such a person will appreciate the lumbar support but does not need a permanent backrest or more structural support. The Mangar Handy Bather allows the user to lie down completely naturally right at the bottom of the bath tub.
