PRESSALIT CARE BRACKETS FOR HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE BASINS

Pressalit Care’s height adjustable basin brackets have been designed to bring flexibility for users with limited mobility, enabling them to carry out everyday washroom tasks with increased independence.

For use in installations such as care home ensuites and assisted bathroom facilities, Pressalit Care produces a range of brackets suited to both frequent and periodic use.

As specialists in providing bathroom and kitchen solutions for those with limited mobility, Pressalit Care’s basin brackets have been designed for functionality and ease of use, allowing standing or seated users to choose the individual height they need to use a washbasin in comfort.

Where frequent adjustment is required – such as in an assisted bathroom in a nursing home – gas assisted or electric brackets are recommended. Operated by means of a lever control or remote control, height adjustment of up to 300mm is achieved.

Where height adjustment is required only periodically, the more cost effective manual option may be preferred.

Height adjustable basin brackets are being increasingly chosen for private home bathroom adaptations to give flexibility and independence to individual family members.

When planning a height adjustable bathroom, care should be taken to choose an ergonomically designed basin that ensures seated and standing users can reach the running water as well as use the tap. A concave front edge, as incorporated into the design of Pressalit Care’s hand basins, stabilises a standing as well as a seated user, with the rounded shapes providing support. The flat bottom of the basin leaves space for the legs of a seated user. Taps should have long levers and spouts for ease of use.

Pressalit Care’s basin brackets are fully compatible with the company’s unique track system which allows horizontal movement of bathroom furniture.
