What is the difference between walk in tubs and handicap tubs?
As the name “walk in tub” implies- the bathtub is designed for people who have the ability to enter a walk in tub using an inward swinging door. Walk In Tubs eliminate the necessity to step over the side of a traditional bathtub and are designed to make personal hygiene easier for the elderly or those with limited mobility. Handicap Tubs on the other hand are specially designed for people who have limited to no use of their legs. Handicap tubs generally have outward swinging doors making the use of a transfer bench or lift easier. Handicap tubs commonly feature mulitple hydrotherapy options meant to help promote proper blood circulation for inactive limbs and extremities.
