The Astor Compact Solo is a height-adjustable bath designed specifically for care home environments, combining ergonomic form, robust build quality, and superior hygiene standards. This model is ideal for facilities using overhead or floor hoists, offering a spacious bathing area without the need for a powered seat.
With no integrated seat, the bath allows full access for ceiling hoists and has hoist access panels to enable floor hoists to manoeuvre close to the bath. The generous internal shape provides the bather with a secure, semi-reclined position for comfort, while smooth surfaces simplify cleaning and help maintain excellent hygiene.
High-quality materials—including multi-layer GRP panels and 304 stainless steel components—ensure strength and longevity. The Showersafe gantry system provides Kiwa KUKReg4-approved protection to Category 5 level, with separate TMV3 temperature control for both the shower and bath filler.
