Hygiene Aids for Overweight and Obesity

Strong Everyday Aids from Nordic

Special aids are required for overweight and obesity. These must be able to withstand high loads, be adapted to restricted mobility and provide increased safety. A standard shower stool cannot meet these requirements, nor can a bathtub seat that neither offers sufficient width nor supports such high weight. Stable furnishings are therefore important in elderly care and hospitals, as they not only make care easier for those receiving it, but also for caregivers and staff. After all, providing care also means taking responsibility, and it gives both sides a sense of security knowing that the care aids will reliably support them through thick and thin. When it comes to aids for overweight and obesity, the company Nordic has proven itself in particular. Their range includes everything designed to make showering and washing easier, as well as care aids intended to simplify everyday hygiene.

The assortment ranges from simple accessories such as a pole, that extends from floor to ceiling and helps users move from a seated position to standing or sit down more easily from a standing position. That it does not always require large solutions is also demonstrated by the toilet armrest. This fits almost any standard toilet, and the foldable handles also make sitting down and standing up easier. Entry aids  for the bathtub are also useful, made of steel tubes that provide stability and safety. These can be easily combined with a step that is also stable and secure. For the bathtub itself, Nordic offers various hanging seats. hose looking for a shower chair can choose between a simple folding seat, a shower stool, a foldable shower chair or a shower bench. When it comes to commode chairs, everything has also been considered: the armrests are adjustable in width, allowing them not only to be stored in a space-saving manner but also to be adapted to the patient’s weight. The commode chair can support loads of up to 300 kg.
