Getting in and out of the bath can be made much easier by using a bathboard and a bathseat. You use them together as a pair, the bathboard helps you to get into the bath, the bathseat makes it easier to get out of the bath. Bathseats and bathboards on this page are made of plastics. The ideal material as it cannot deteriorate with exposure to water.
Use of Bath boards and Bath seats: From the side of the bath sit down on the bathboard. Swivel your legs one at a time over and into the bath. Slide along the bathboard to the centre of the bath.

Why monitor blood pressure at home? Clinical studies have shown improved detection and treatment of high blood pressure when regular home blood pressure monitoring is conducted in conjunction with a GP. Blood pressure measurement in a doctor's surgery or hospital setting may cause apprehension and produce and elevated reading. Home measurement reduces the effects of outside influences on readings, supplements the doctor's readings and provides a more accurate, complete pressure history. The World Hypertension League recommends regular blood pressure monitoring for everyone using clinically validated blood pressure monitors. Blood pressure monitoring is particularly indicated for those suffering from high blood pressure, or people in high-risk groups such as the overweight, diabetic or elderly. Regular blood pressure monitoring can help prevent strokes and other cardiovascular diseases. |

Made from welded steel tube that has been heavily chrome plated, this one fits the bill. The chair is available in two basic types. Manual or Transit. The manual version has large wheels, each with a rim to enable you to move and manoeuvre. The Transit chairs have small wheels, and have to be pushed by your attendant. the chairs have a tipping bar to assist with tipping the chair to overcome kerbs. Seats and backs are waterproof flame retardant PVC. A pair of straps are attached to each side of the seat: when you lift the strap the chair folds, and they act as useful lifting handles. The footrests on all models are hinged, so that they can be flipped up when you need to stand. All footrests are height adjustable for maximum comfort. The hinged footrests can also be swung out of the way and removed from the chair. This reduces the size of the chair to make |
