The Astor Bannerman Compact DC3 is a dementia-friendly, height-adjustable assisted bath designed for care homes and nursing environments. Its powered transfer seat, automatic safety lockout, digital temperature display and autofill system support safer, more controlled bathing routines.
Available in 1600 mm and 1700 mm lengths, the Compact DC3 includes a supportive powered seat with nursing arms, lap strap and obstacle detection. Optional contrasting-colour seating, detachable transfer trolley and sensory bathing features allow the bath to be configured around individual care needs.
The DC3 has an automatic lockout to prevent accidental water operation and immobilise bath functions, with an indicator on the handset.
A powered seat with lap strap, nursing arms and obstacle detection supports resident transfers into and out of the bath.
An autofill sensor allows water filling to a selected level without overfilling, supporting supervised bathing routines.
A digital display shows the temperature of the water leaving the bath spout alongside TMV3-regulated controls.
The bath adjusts between 680 and 980 mm to provide appropriate working heights for carers.
Options include a contrasting seat, detachable transfer trolley, air spa, Bluetooth audio and colour-changing lighting.
The Compact DC3 combines an integrated powered transfer seat with safety features developed for dementia-care settings. A detachable seat and transfer trolley can be specified when room-to-room seated transfers are required.
A lap strap, supportive nursing arms and seat obstruction detection assist safe, assessed transfers.
The detachable chair can be paired with a headrest and compatible transfer trolley for supported movement between rooms.
Lockout controls, autofill and a digital temperature display support clearer, more controlled bathing routines.
