Shower beds or gurneys are devices used in homes or medical facilities for transporting a person with limited mobility to and from the bathing area. Caretakers can wash the person on the gurney itself. It is made up of water-resistant materials that include medical grade PVC for pipes and mesh for slings. These materials offer long-lasting stability and durability. Gurneys come in several variations. Shower beds provide an excellent way for caregivers to save time and effort as they hold them, transferring the patient in and out of the bathtub. Some are multi-position while others are flat. Most shower beds offer the height adjustability feature to keep the caregiver safe from injury.
These shower beds feature a multi-position headrest that is adjustable for the patient's comfort. The safety rails on these gurneys drop for easy transfers without any barriers, and the rails also lock in position for patient safety. Some gurneys also have middle casters to eliminate sagging and improve maneuverability. They are also equipped with a drain pan that collects all the water and keeps it draining in one direction to prevent slips and falls. Shower beds have a weight capacity of about 450 pounds. Some shower gurneys fold compactly for storage, which may hold up to 350 pounds. Some shower gurneys are also MRI safe. Shower beds usually come with high floatation all-terrain wheels with non-corrosive bearings used in water or any wet location. Try the Healthline Bariatric Reclining Adjustable Back Shower Gurney or the MJM International Sling Shower Gurney With Three Position Elevating Headrest for a complete showering experience.
This type of bed is appropriate for patients who need to lie down while bathing. Flat gurneys are generally sloped to collect the water in one direction for draining, offering the required comfort and security. It can be adjusted for height manually (hydraulic foot control) or by electric hand controls and can hold up to 375 lbs.
