Changing Tables and Shower Stretchers

Conventional changing tables are often unsuitable for children and adolescents with disabilities. For this reason, there are special changing tables designed specifically to meet their needs. These changing tables are height-adjustable and allow caregivers to change or care for the child in an ergonomically comfortable position. They are often equipped with safety belts to prevent falls and offer sufficient space for assistive devices such as crutches, wheelchairs, or mobility scooters
. In addition, shower beds are used when children and adolescents cannot shower safely while sitting or standing. Shower beds enable dignified, safe, and thorough personal care while lying down. They are also height-adjustable, sturdily constructed, and often equipped with padded, waterproof surfaces and side rails. Both changing tables and shower beds can be used in public facilities such as schools, daycare centers, or care facilities, as well as in the home, and significantly simplify daily care routines—for children as well as their caregivers.
