As the world is advancing, we are striving to make the world safer in as many ways as possible. We use seatbelts while driving, we have airbags in our cars, and today there are even antilock brake-equipped cars. We wear helmets when bicycling, skiing, and rollerblading. We install fencing around pools and many people install pool alarms to know if someone falls in.
If we’re truly concerned to this level about safety, why do so many of us forget about safety in the bathroom? Coming to terms with this we realize that we don’t want our bathrooms to look like a hospital bathroom. But in the end, safety comes first. Many people have problems while moving around in the bathroom. People suffering from leg problems find it difficult to move from the toilet to the bathtub. This situation calls for the invention called the transfer bench.

The patient can easily shift from the toilet to the bathing area and the commode adds a convenient option for patients who find it difficult to move.
