What is the purpose of a shower chair?

The purpose of a shower chair is to provide safety and support for patients while bathing. This is particularly crucial for individuals who may have difficulty standing, such as the elderly or those with mobility issues. The chair allows them to sit comfortably while showering, reducing the risk of slips, falls, and injuries. It often features non-slip surfaces and sometimes additional handrails for extra stability. Using a shower chair ensures that patients can maintain their hygiene safely and independently, contributing to their overall well-being and dignity during personal care routines.
