The Astor Bannerman Compact Plus is a height-adjustable assisted bath designed for care homes and nursing environments. Its integrated powered transfer seat helps residents enter and leave the bath safely, while adjustable working height helps carers provide comfortable, supported bathing.
Available in 1600 mm and 1700 mm lengths, the Compact Plus can be configured with a detachable transfer seat and trolley for room-to-room transfers. Additional options include sensory bathing features, thermostatic water controls and a Showersafe shower system.
A 300 mm rise-and-fall movement enables carers to set the bath at a practical working height during assisted bathing.
The powered seat incorporates a lap strap, nursing arms and an obstacle sensor to support safer seated transfers.
Choose a 1600 mm or 1700 mm bath, both with a 750 mm overall width, to suit different bathroom layouts.
A removable seat and optional transfer trolley support room-to-room transfers, subject to compatibility and handling assessment.
The Showersafe gantry provides fluid category 5 backflow protection, while TMV3 controls regulate water temperature.
Available upgrades include an air spa, colour-changing lighting, Bluetooth audio and selected bathing accessories.
The Compact Plus uses an integrated powered seat to assist entry and exit. A detachable-seat configuration with transfer trolley can also be specified for suitable room-to-room handling arrangements.
The integrated powered seat moves the bather into and out of the tub, with lap restraint, nursing arms and obstacle sensing.
An optional removable seat and transfer trolley provide an alternative transfer approach, subject to the care plan and room layout.
Height adjustment helps care staff work at an appropriate level for bathing and transfers. The precise installed height range should be confirmed before ordering.
The manufacturer sources disagree on the absolute height range: verify the exact configuration before quotation. The 150 kg seat load is not the same as the combined bath, user and water working-load figure.
