The Astor Bannerman Compact Fixed Height is a specialist assisted bath designed for care homes and nursing environments where space efficiency and supported transfers are important. Its integrated powered seat, supportive nursing armrests and safety features help residents enter and leave the bath comfortably while reducing manual handling demands on care staff.
Available in 1600 mm and 1700 mm lengths, the Compact Fixed Height provides a practical bathing solution where powered height adjustment is not required. Its contoured interior, optional detachable transfer seat and choice of thermostatic water controls allow the bath to be configured around different care requirements.
The integrated powered seat helps the bather move into and out of the bath, with a lap strap and supportive nursing armrests.
The shorter version is suited to smaller bathrooms and en suites, while a 1700 mm option offers additional length.
Designed for settings where bath height adjustment is not required, avoiding the need for a powered rise-and-fall bath.
The seat is designed to stop moving if its travel is obstructed, providing an additional safety feature.
The sculpted internal shape supports comfortable bathing, with smooth surfaces intended to make routine cleaning easier.
Choose thermostatic bath filling or the optional compliant shower gantry, plus accessories such as an air spa and autofill.
The standard Compact Fixed Height uses an integrated powered seat for assisted bathing. Where room-to-room transfer is needed, a detachable seat with trolley can be specified; compatible hoist access panels are another optional configuration.
A lap strap and nursing armrests provide seated support, with an obstacle sensor designed to halt seat movement when obstructed.
An optional detachable seat system and transfer trolley can support movement between the bathroom and another room.
Optional hoist access panels can be considered for compatible mobile hoist arrangements, subject to survey and transfer assessment.
