IPU Safety Lap Bar: Engineered Fall Prevention for Institutional Shower and Commode Seating

The IPU Safety Lap Bar is a critical secondary restraint designed to address the high risk of forward-slips and falls during patient hygiene transfers. In acute care and long-term care environments, the combination of water, soap, and patient instability creates a significant safety hazard. This lap bar provides a physical and psychological security boundary, ensuring that patients remain safely seated within the frame of the shower or commode chair during both transport and the showering process itself.

Constructed from medical-grade, high-impact polymers, this accessory is specifically designed for the high-moisture environments of institutional bathrooms. The material is non-corrosive, easy to sanitize, and maintains its structural integrity even under constant exposure to cleaning agents and hot water. For facility managers and safety officers, the IPU Lap Bar represents a low-cost, high-impact intervention that supports fall-reduction protocols and reduces the liability associated with unassisted patient movement in wet-room environments.
