Embodiments described herein include a bathtub that can include a U-shaped step saddle associated with a door assembly. The door assembly can include a hinge coupled with the U-shaped step saddle such that the door assembly can be transitioned between an open position and a closed position. The door assembly can include a catch and a latch to secure the door in the closed position.

A walk-in bathing environment is used by people who may have trouble getting in and out of standard bathtubs or showers. Rotatable grab bars are positioned in and around the bathing environments to aid in entering the environments, exiting the environments, sitting, standing, and otherwise moving relative to the bathing environment. The rotatable grab bars may be placed on the walls, top, external, or generally on and around the bathing environment such that a user can grab the one or more rotatable grab bars in order to provide support for moving relative to the bathing environment. The rotatable grab bars are connected to the environment such that they can be moved between a use and a non-use configuration, such that the rotatable grab bars are extending from a portion of the housing only when desired by the user.

A grab rail with automatically activated light including: a straight longitudinal bar having a front longitudinal face and a rear longitudinal face and hollow openings at each end; two light units, each sealingly but releasably secured in one of said hollow end openings; a battery source connected with the light units and located inside the bar; at least one noise activated switching device operatively associated with said LED light units and battery source; and at least one post mount with flange, wherein an end of the post distal the flange is secured to the rear longitudinal face of the bar.

A bathtub insert assembly for facilitating safe bathing includes a shell, which has a top that is open. A lower section of the shell is substantially complementary to a width of a bathtub. An interior surface of the shell is resilient and is configured to absorb an impact imparted by a user to prevent injury. A first plate and a second plate are coupled to a first and second ends of the shell, respectively. The first plate is configured to seat the user. The second plate is configured to support the user's feet. A pair of armrests is coupled to the shell between the first plate and the top of the shell. At least one rail is coupled to the interior surface and is configured to position items, such as soap, and to be grasped in a hand of the user to assist the user in sitting and rising.

An insulated therapy tub for provision of cold-water therapy to athletes or physical therapy patients in a warm environment that includes a tub body that is filled with an insulating layer and which is capable of easy transport and storage when not in use.

This document discusses, among other things an assist structure that includes a mount structure configured to mount above a shower or bath wall, and a support structure configured to couple to the mount structure, extend downward over the shower or bath wall, and contact the shower or bath wall.

A bath safety rail for being engaged to and disengaged from a bath surface. The bath safety rail includes a base, a handle on the base, first and second suction cups opposing the handle, cam followers on the suction cups that extend into the base, and cams in the base to engage and draw up the cam followers and suction cups to thereby create suction. The handle is two-piece where the pieces are separated by a handle plane, where each axis of each suction cup is in the handle plane.

The bathroom support system is a stability assistance device. The bathroom support system is removably installed in the bathing structure. An individual uses the bathroom support system as a supporting structure by holding onto the bathroom support system during bathing activities. The bathroom support system comprises a telescopic structure, a plurality of supports, and an alarm system. The plurality of supports and the alarm system attach to the telescopic structure. The telescopic structure adjusts the size of the bathroom support system to match the space provided in the bathing structure. The plurality of supports: 1) stabilize the bathroom support system; and, 2) provide anchor points, which are grasped by the individual for stabilization. The alarm system is a safety device that allows the individual to call for assistance from an appropriate authority if it is required.

Embodiments described herein include a bathtub closure system having a step, the step having a first side panel, a second side panel, and an elongated platform defining a cavity, where the cavity can be configured to facilitate ingress and egress into a bathtub. The bathtub closure system can include a hinged closure, where the closure can be coupled with the step and can cooperate with the step to form a substantially watertight seal when the closure is in a closed position.
