Sliding Bath Transfer Bend Review – My opinion
There are many choices available to help you with this. From regular-sized to extra-long ones that can transfer from the toilet straight over to the tub. It all depends on your personal preference and what works for you.
Although you can’t put a price on safety these sliding bath transfers are generally spoken not cheap. However, some health insurance companies will help you pay for them depending on your situation.
