ABSTRACT:
A relatively shallow fiberglas, or other sturdy but lightweight material, tub is provided with legs and lockable casters to be easily portable. The tub itself is of such size and shape as to enable usage by adults, while the legs support the tub with the upper edge thereof on substantially the same level as the surface of the hospital bed with which it is used. A back rest is removably positionable to the tub edge at one end thereof to provide further support for invalid patients. A drain pump is connected to the drain outlet for pumping water from the tub into sinks or over barriers of higher elevation. A thermostatically controlled heating element is embedded in the tub surface for keeping the water at a desired safe, warm temperature.
