RAZ AP600 Heavy Duty Attendant Propelled Bariatric Shower Chair for Safe Supported Care

The RAZ AP600 Heavy Duty Attendant Propelled Bariatric Shower Chair for Safe Supported Care is a premium solution designed to offer robust stability, exceptional comfort and consistent performance for users requiring higher weight capacity and comprehensive support throughout personal care routines. Built specifically for bariatric use, the AP600 brings together a stainless steel frame, thoughtful ergonomics and versatile adjustability to help carers manage bathing and toileting tasks with reduced strain and more dependable handling. The chair has been carefully engineered to simplify hygiene care while maintaining dignity, comfort and reassurance for the individual seated, creating a practical and reliable addition to assisted showering environments in homes, care settings and clinical facilities.

The AP600’s heavy-duty stainless steel frame is at the centre of its dependable performance. It has been constructed to withstand regular moisture exposure and frequent cleaning while holding an impressive user weight limit. This makes it ideal for long-term use in high-demand environments and helps ensure each component continues performing well over time. The stability afforded by this reinforced structure reduces shifting and flex, allowing the user to remain supported throughout transfers, showering and toileting tasks. Its durability also helps carers work with greater confidence, knowing that the chair remains secure even under challenging conditions.

Designed for comfort in a range of personal care routines, the chair features a supportive seat surface that encourages correct positioning. Its contours have been formed to distribute weight effectively, reduce pressure on vulnerable areas and promote an upright, comfortable posture. This is especially important for users who may spend longer periods seated during assisted bathing or when mobility limitations require more involved support from carers. The commode opening has been shaped to assist with thorough hygiene access without compromising stability, allowing the user’s posture to remain centred and supported during toileting use.

Equally significant is the AP600’s range of adjustable features, all developed with the aim of tailoring the chair to suit individual needs. Whether adapting the setup to match a user’s body shape, altering the configuration to suit different carers, or modifying the seat height to fit various shower environments, the chair provides flexible options that help reduce unnecessary strain. Seat height adjustability makes safe transfers easier by enabling carers to match the height of the chair to the bed, wheelchair or shower bench being used. This helps minimise awkward bending and lifting, which can be especially beneficial when managing bariatric care where additional physical demands may otherwise affect safe handling.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty stainless steel frame designed for bariatric use
• Supportive contoured seat with hygiene-friendly commode opening
• Supportive backrest for reliable trunk stability
• Swing-away arm supports for easier lateral transfers
• Secure, comfortable armrest design for assisted movement
• Attendant-propelled operation for smooth manoeuvring

The arm supports on the AP600 have been included to offer secure lateral support while helping users feel more comfortable and stable during movement or when transitioning on and off the seat. For carers, these armrests play an important role in facilitating safe guided transfers, giving clear points of control without limiting the user’s comfort. The arm supports can be swung out of the way when required, allowing side transfers when needed and ensuring the user can be positioned smoothly and safely from various angles. This ease of access is especially useful in environments where several carers may need to coordinate movements together.

The backrest has also been designed with comfort in mind and is shaped to support the user’s upper body and trunk without creating pressure or discomfort. Made from durable, easy-clean materials, it resists moisture and provides dependable support during extended use. The gentle contour assists with positioning, helping the user maintain a relaxed and secure posture throughout the entire bathing or toileting process. For carers, this greatly reduces the need for constant manual stabilisation, making tasks more efficient and less physically demanding.

A key strength of the AP600 is its attendant-propelled design. The rear push handles allow carers to manoeuvre the chair smoothly within bathrooms, wet rooms or clinical areas. The wheels and castors have been selected for reliability in wet environments, delivering controlled movement even when navigating compact or busy spaces. Locking castors allow the chair to be secured during transfers or when performing specific hygiene tasks, helping to prevent unwanted movement and ensuring both user and carer remain safe throughout. This controlled mobility also ensures that the chair can be positioned accurately in showers or over toilets without the need for physical lifting or awkward adjustments.

Hygiene management has been carefully considered throughout every part of the RAZ AP600. Its stainless steel frame resists corrosion, even with daily exposure to water and disinfectants, and the seat, backrest and armrests can be wiped down quickly between uses. This allows the chair to maintain high standards of cleanliness without requiring complex cleaning routines. For facilities with multiple users, this ease of hygiene management is essential, especially where infection-control procedures must be maintained regularly. The smooth surfaces and carefully shaped openings help reduce the build-up of debris, making cleaning both efficient and thorough.

The AP600 is compatible with a range of accessories that can be added to suit individual clinical or personal care needs. These options allow the chair to be adapted as circumstances change, ensuring that users continue receiving effective support without needing to replace the whole unit. Accessories such as specialised seat inserts, lateral supports, positioning belts and alternative footrest styles can further personalise the chair to match the user’s body shape and comfort requirements. This adaptability ensures the AP600 remains a long-lasting solution that can grow with changing needs.

The footrests included with the AP600 are designed to support the lower limbs depending on the user’s posture and comfort requirements. The design gives users a secure resting point for their legs, helping reduce fatigue and supporting better alignment while seated. For carers, this reduces the need for constant repositioning of the legs during washing or toileting tasks. The footrests can be moved aside when performing transfers, allowing the user to enter and exit the chair without obstruction.

Overall, the RAZ AP600 Heavy Duty Attendant Propelled Bariatric Shower Chair for Safe Supported Care is a reliable, supportive and durable option for individuals requiring substantial seating reinforcement during bathing and toileting routines. Its blend of ergonomic comfort, adjustable features and heavy-duty construction allows carers to work effectively and safely while offering users the steady support they need during a vulnerable part of everyday care. Whether used in private homes, supported accommodation, hospitals or long-term care facilities, the AP600 provides a practical and reassuring solution that works hard to deliver personal care with dignity, comfort and confidence for all involved.
