156 devices · GMDN 41069
Bath back rest/seat devices are designed to assist patients—often elderly, disabled, or recovering from illness—by providing stable support for their back and buttocks while bathing. They help users maintain an upright or slightly elevated position in the tub, reducing the risk of slipping or straining during transfers, and are commonly used in hospitals, care facilities, or home settings.
These devices are typically classified based on their design and intended use, with some requiring regulatory compliance for safety and durability in wet environments. They may be sold as standalone back rests or integrated seats, often made from waterproof or water-resistant materials to ensure longevity and hygiene. Regulations may vary depending on the jurisdiction and specific features of the device.
