Gainsborough unveiled its complete new bath range at the Care & Dementia Show this year. This portfolio now provides the widest range of solutions available so that future care challenges can be met in the long term and acute sectors.
The new hi-lo Gentona with streamlined bather transfer system generated particular interest among healthcare providers.The bath delivers higher performance, lower running costs and greater care efficiency through a range of innovative features. Its new bather transfer system comprises of a powered, detachable seat that lifts, rotates and lowers a semi-ambulant bather into the bath and is compatible with a new stainless trolley for onward transfers. This can negate the need for costly ceiling track and mobile hoists in many care environments. Feedback was positive from show visitors who stated this latest design provided better ergonomics for the bather and carer – with the detachable seat engagement mechanism being particularly impressive.

It provides an ultra-efficient, reclining bathing system suitable for acute wards and nursing homes. Through its sculpted seat and tilting action it can accommodate a variety of different users who require additional postural support when bathing.
