Bath & Shower Safety Products
At Advanced Mobility Inc., we understand that bath and shower safety is a top priority, especially for individuals recovering from injury or with mobility challenges. The bathroom, while essential for daily hygiene, is one of the most hazardous areas of the home. Wet surfaces, impaired balance, and lack of adequate support can significantly increase the risk of slips and falls. That’s why at Advanced Mobility Inc., we specialize in providing and installing high-quality bath and shower safety products that minimize these risks and allow individuals to use the bathroom with dignity, confidence, and independence.
Understanding The Importance Of Bathroom Safety
Using the bathroom is an essential part of daily routine, but unfortunately, being in the bathroom also poses a significant safety risk, especially for people with mobility issues. To reduce the risk of slips and falls, general bathroom safety tips should be adhered to, including:
- Placing non-slip mats inside and outside the bath and shower to prevent slipping on wet surfaces.
- Ensure the bathroom has adequate lighting, especially at night.
- Keep the floor and all surfaces dry.
- Use a shower chair and adjustable shower head, especially if you have any mobility issues.
- Keep all toiletries and bathroom essentials within reach to reduce the need to lean, stretch, or bend over. This is especially important for individuals who have challenges with balance.
One of the most effective ways to ensure bathroom safety is to install assistive devices that aid with stability, mobility, and safety.
Advanced Mobility Inc. Solutions To Bathroom Safety
At Advanced Mobility Inc., we offer a variety of safety solutions to enhance stability and support for all bathroom users. Here are 4 solutions that will ensure a safer bathroom experience:
- Grab Bars
- Dependa-Bar
- PT Rail
- Advantage Rail and Advantage Pole
Grab Bars
Grab bars play a vital role in slip and fall prevention all over the house, especially in the bathroom. Typically a short section of handrail firmly attached to a wall, grab bars can bear high loads that offer sturdy support, and assist individuals, especially those with balance and mobility issues, to maintain their balance while entering, exiting, or moving around the bathroom.
Advanced Mobility Inc. supplies durable and reliable grab bars that comply with regulated safety standards. Crafted from high-quality materials, our grab bars are available in various lengths and a variety of finishes and powder-coated colors or brushed and polished stainless steel.
Dependa-Bars
A combination of the traditional grab bar and pivoting support rail, the Dependa-Bar allows individuals to adjust the bar to their specific needs, and move it out of the way when not in use. The flexibility of the five locking positions (that lock every 45 degrees) enhances safety during bathing and toileting activities.
Preventing unnecessary leaning, twisting, or reaching, the Dependa-Bar provides extra support exactly when and where the user needs it.
Constructed from durable stainless steel, the bar is available in two versions:
- The Knurled version has textured gripping areas that enhance the grip
- The White Finish is smooth, easy to clean, and has antimicrobial properties.
Both versions can withstand wet environments and are resistant to rust and corrosion. As the bar can be installed on either the left or right side of the bathtub, it can be customized to seamlessly fit into most bathroom styles.
Freedom Bath System
The Freedom Bath offers users both comfort and convenience, ideal for individuals who may need some assistance, but still want to maintain some independence while bathing. The system includes the following features:
- Easy access – the unique roll door that rolls down allows individuals to enter and exit the tub easily. Once seated, the roll door then rolls up, sealing the bath and allowing it to be filled with water. The roll door retreats into the tub base when lowered, ensuring wide access for individuals with mobility devices.
- Contoured base – serving as a comfortable seat, the contoured base allows users to feel secure and relaxed while bathing
- The tub also includes:
- Control panel
- Shower wand and holder
- A mixer valve
- A grip handle that provides extra support
To turn a bath into a therapeutic experience, the Freedom Bath also has an optional Air Spa therapy system. The system creates tiny bubbles that have a massaging effect. The soothing massage helps to relax tired and sore muscles and improves circulation.

The Advantage Rail And Advantage Pole
Designed to provide dependable support where you need it most, the Advantage Rail and Advantage Pole feature a pivot and lock technology that allows users to lift and move the rail, then lower and lock it in place.
The Advantage Pole is a mounted pole that provides vertical support for use when standing or sitting. This is ideal for areas where ceiling restrictions prevent the installation of floor-to-ceiling poles.
The Advantage Rail also has a portable version designed with flexibility and convenience in mind, Floor plates can be installed in multiple rooms, which allows the rail to be moved and reattached where needed. This concept allows for support in different areas of the home, and in different locations if needed.
Although easy to install, the system can be installed on various types of flooring provided it is structurally sound. Additional wood blocking may be added in locations that lack adequate structural support.
PT Rail
The robust PT rail is a fold-down grab bar that provides sturdy support beside the toilet, is equipped with a a flip-up mechanism that allows it to effortlessly swing up and rest against the wall when not in use. Able to hold its secure position even when partially raised, the PT rail is ideal for smaller bathrooms where space may be an issue.
Unlike a traditional grab bar, the PT rail is not held in place with a traditional locking mechanism but features a tension hinge that holds it in position. This unique design ensures that the rail will not accidentally fall.
The PT Rail Floor Mast provides an alternate mounting structure in situations where wall mounting is not an option, providing flexibility and customization options for individual needs.
