The most versatile bath lift on the marketA bath lift can be a real benefit in maintaining independence in the bathroom. But many bath lifts can’t cope with today’s wide choice of bath designs. Short, corner, shallow and deep baths as well as those with handles can all present problems.
Neptune is the most versatile bath lift on the market, being specifically designed to fit all these types of bath. The Neptune’s slimline shape allows it to sit right at the back of the bath thereby avoiding many anti-slip surfaces and, combined with its tapered sideflaps, clear most bath handles and other similar obstructions. The narrow footprint and large flexible suckers ensure that the Neptune also fits snugly into narrow and kidney-shaped baths, whilst its maximum height of travel makes it suitable for the deeper bath. To fit those more difficult corner baths and increasingly popular wide baths, the Neptune is available with extra-wide side flaps – ensuring safer transfers onto the seat at all times.
The Neptune offers up to nine inches more legroom than other bath lifts on the market which can be crucial when considering room for manoeuvrability. Lack of space can make transferring on and off the bath lift awkward, especially in smaller bathrooms where other fittings such as washbasins obstruct the movement of the legs into the bath. Neptune’s compact design means it sits right in the back of the bath to provide this essential space. Likewise, when lowered these valuable extra inches provide crucial legroom to fully immerse aching joints in soothing water.
Cleaning the bath lift couldn’t be simpler. The Neptune has smooth, open surfaces, which are less likely to attract dirt, and with no compulsory fabric covers allowing grime to accumulate, cleaning times are much reduced.
To complement the cleaning process, all Neptunes are manufactured with an antimicrobial solution, BioCote®. BioCote® is a silver-based product, effective in protecting against harmful bacteria including MRSA, C Diff and the difficult-to-clean black mould.
The waterproof Neptune handset is easy to both operate and hold. Its slimline shape ensures that even the smallest of hands or those with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis are able to grip it. When this isn’t possible, the strong suckers make a securely adhesion to either the side of the bath or the wall!
Large rocker switches make operating the Neptune easy. The controls are large, raised and positive to the touch requiring minimal user pressure. The large switches enable people with weaker hands/fingers to operate with stronger areas of the body such as the palm of the hand, elbow or press against a hard surface. The distinguishable, white arrows which are also raised ensure that operation is also easy for visually impaired users. A battery status monitoring system indicates the charge level of the battery. A safety feature is also included that will not allow the bath lift to descend if there is insufficient charge for a complete bathing cycle.
Charging the Neptune is straightforward. The battery is connected to the hand control so is easily accessible and for utilising the same method of connection for both the hand control and charger, this eliminates any confusion.
Neptune’s slimline design makes it the lightest bath lift available. Weighing in at only 9.6kg, it’s up to 5.2kg lighter than other bathlifts.
Fitting and removing the Neptune is simplicity itself. The seat and base frame can be easily separated without twisting, stretching and bending to press difficult to reach locking mechanisms. Transporting the Neptune couldn’t be easier. Its two lightweight sections can be carried compactly around obstacles and its slimline shape allows it to fit into the smallest of car boots.
