Drive Medical Niagara Bathing System - DMM-DBNIAGARA1200
The Niagara Springs Bathing System is designed to bathe highly dependent residents safely and comfortably and is compatible with a wide range of transport and lifting devices. The key-hole shape enhances patient comfort with extra room for the shoulders and arms, plus it allows the caregiver closer and greater access to bathe the resident. The smooth and soft lines enhance the look of the bathing area and allow for easy maintenance and cleaning. The Niagara Spring (Model DB-NIAGARA-1400, DB-NIAGARA-1500, and DB-NIAGARA-1600 ONLY) can be raised and lowered at the touch of a button, allowing the caregiver to work at the proper height, thus eliminating back strain.
The built-in disinfection system cabinet is conveniently located on the side of the tub for easy access. The lockable cabinet provides a secure place for cleaning supplies and disinfectants.
The Niagara Spring features an easy-to-use control panel that includes the tub-fill and shower valves, water temperature display, thermostatic mixing valve, raise/lower controls, and CleanDrive Air Spa System control pad.
