One of the most common injuries to occur to both young children and senior adults is a fall in the shower. These quick accidents can cause a lot of damage to your body or your head. Not everyone can afford to install a walk in shower with safety seating. However a few easy, affordable steps can turn a really dangerous place in your home into a much safer place.
One of those products is an Extra Large Bubble Bath Mat. This product is big enough to cover the entire tub floor. It is textured on top, giving you the security and sound mind to be able to plant your feet firmly in the shower and move around as needed. The bottom of the Mat is made up of over 275 suction cups that secure a firm grip on the bath floor. These cups also allow air pockets and cushions of air to flow under the mat so that your tub will drain easily each and every time you take a shower. Another product that is easy to install and easy on the pocket book is a bath rail. This Floor to Tub Bath Rail is perfect for stability when getting in and out of the tub. With your feet secure on the bath mat and your hand securely on the rail, getting in and out of the tub has never been easier or safer. Labels: bath rails, bath safety by: DME Supply Group 0 Comments
