ABSTRACT:
A bathing system for ambulatory or non-ambulatory patients that includes a bathing cabinet with associated showering plumbing and a patient transporter cart that is moveable into and out of the cabinet, eliminating bodily transfer of the patient into and out of the bath from a wheelchair. The bathing cabinet has water shielded channels that receive and protect the wheels and casters of the transporter cart from becoming wet during the bathing operation when the cart is locked inside the bathing cabinet. The transporter cart includes a perianal spray that has a pipe coupling element that connects automatically during insertion of the cart to a pipe fitting disposed in the cabinet. The bathing cabinet includes a foot bathing receptacle that can be emptied with a mechanical flipper valve.
The arm and foot rests of the transporter cart are removeable and can be stored on the outside of the cabinet during the bathing operation so that they do not get wet.
