Bath Chair Swivel

360° Swivel Shower Chair for Safe Transfer and Seated Bathing

The FS793S is a swivel shower chair with a 360-degree rotating seat mechanism, designed for users who require the additional transfer assistance of a rotating seat during the move from wheelchair, bath edge or shower chair into position within the shower. The swivel mechanism allows the user to sit on the chair at the shower entrance or bath edge and then rotate into the optimal showering position without standing, lifting or lateral weight-shifting, significantly reducing the physical effort and fall risk of the transfer process. For users with severe lower limb weakness, hemiplegic gait patterns or post-arthroplasty precautions, entering the shower and positioning without a standing transfer is a clinically significant functional improvement that supports showering independence or reduces the physical demands on assisting carers.

Stable Base Frame with Rotating Seat

The FS793S separates the functions of stability, provided by the fixed outer frame, and positioning, provided by the rotating inner seat, so that the frame remains stationary while the seat rotates the user smoothly into position. The frame dimensions of 77 × 56 × 38.5cm fit within standard shower cubicle and wet room access dimensions. The 100kg weight capacity and 8.8kg net weight make the FS793S practical for both user and carer handling in daily use. Non-slip rubber feet on the outer frame maintain floor contact during the rotational movement, preventing the chair from sliding during transfers.
