The Astor Compact Plus is a premium, feature-rich height adjustable bath designed for modern care home environments. With its distinctive shape and ergonomic design, it ensures maximum comfort for the bather while minimising physical strain for caregivers. Built with robust components, including multi-layer GRP panels, a proprietary bearing system, and high-grade 304 stainless steel parts, the Compact Plus is engineered for long-term performance and reliability in high-use care settings.
This advanced model incorporates a powered seat for safe and dignified transfers, complete with obstacle detection, nursing arms, and a secure lap strap. A detachable seat version is also available, allowing for use with an optional seat transfer trolley, enabling smooth room-to-bathroom transfers.
