1. Introduction
1.1. Introduction
The shower stretcher / dressing table is a medical device for caring for and washing
less able persons in an ergonomically responsible manner. Comfort is the primary
consideration for both the less able person and the carer.
Lopital supplies various versions of its shower stretchers and dressing tables. The range
includes stretchers / dressing tables that are secured to a wall, mobile shower stretchers
/ dressing tables and shower stretchers / dressing tables that are non-mobile. The height
of some variants is electrically or hydraulically adjustable.
