Freeway Flow Shower Cradle – Safe, Supportive and Adjustable Bathing Solution
The Freeway Flow Shower Cradle from Prism Medical UK offers a secure, comfortable, and dignified bathing experience for individuals who require additional support during showering. Designed for those who find traditional shower chairs insufficient, the Freeway Flow provides exceptional stability and adjustability, making it a trusted solution for care environments, hospitals, and private homes alike.
This tilting shower cradle delivers a perfect balance of comfort, hygiene, and functionality. It allows carers to safely and efficiently manage personal hygiene routines while ensuring maximum comfort for the user. The intuitive design incorporates a tilting mechanism that allows the cradle to recline smoothly between 5° and 35°, promoting a relaxed and secure bathing position. This flexibility enhances both user comfort and carer ergonomics, reducing strain and making the bathing process easier and safer.
Exceptional Build Quality and Design
Manufactured in the UK using high-quality, locally sourced materials, the Freeway Flow Shower Cradle embodies durability and precision craftsmanship. Its robust stainless-steel frame is built to last, featuring non-rust components and a long-lasting mesh fabric that is both comfortable and practical. The cradle is finished with an antimicrobial powder coating, which inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria, supporting high standards of hygiene in clinical and domestic environments.
The frame’s design includes a manual height adjustment mechanism with three set height positions in 25 mm increments, offering flexibility to suit various shower configurations and user needs. Combined with its smooth-rolling, anti-tangle castors and easily identifiable red brake lever, the cradle ensures effortless manoeuvrability and safety at all times.
Comfort and Ease of Use
The Freeway Flow is engineered with both the user and carer in mind. The hand lever tilting system, assisted by dual gas struts, enables smooth and controlled adjustment, allowing the carer to position the user comfortably without sudden movements. The quick-drying mesh fabric offers a soft and breathable surface that enhances comfort while ensuring quick and hygienic maintenance after each use. The mesh cover is removable, machine washable, and easy to wipe clean, maintaining freshness and cleanliness with minimal effort.
Every aspect of the cradle’s design contributes to a safe and dignified showering experience. The colour-coded fabric system allows easy identification of sling or fabric size, helping facilities maintain correct equipment allocation and improve efficiency. With a choice of widths available, the Freeway Flow is adaptable for different users and care settings.
Hygienic, Service-Free, and Low Maintenance
Incorporating service-free, anti-tangle castors, the Freeway Flow minimises downtime and maintenance costs.
