Showering:
The Roll-InBuddy Solo was designed for individuals with mobility who have some independence and can transfer and use a wheelchair:
- The main handbrakes on the 24-inch (600mm) wheels keep the chair in place. If needed, the arms flip back to allow easier transfer onto the chair. At this point, the arm and footrest can be adjusted.
- Once seated, the user can be secured in with a lap belt accessory if desired.
- The user may maneuver into a roll-in shower area.
- Locking the wheels back in, the user can now bathe.
- After showering, the user simply exits to dry off.
Toileting:
Roll-InBuddy Solo means that using the toilet before or after a shower is possible in one fluid motion; just roll the unit over the toilet and lock in place:
- Seat clears most toilets with its height adjustment.
- Arms flip back to allow side transfers if required.
- Locking caster wheels and braked 24″ wheels fix SB6w over the toilet providing stable support.
- SB6w’s frame and seat are non-corrosive and easy to clean.
- If the user needs nighttime assistance, the SB6w comes with an included commode system.
