Currently available in our Early Intervention (ages 0-3) loan library for demonstration, trial, or a 30 day loan: The Rifton Wave Bathing System in size one, with various straps for support and available with an additional base for added height to use in a shower. The back, leg rest, and feet of the base are all separately adjustable to create the support needed for the individual and care giver.

This Rifton mobile stander was donated to our program and needs to find a permanent home. It's in used condition and needs some additional cleaning. This is a smaller size - not for adult sized people. There's no clear markings showing the model/size, however it's got 27" wheels for mobility, and the base is 24" wide. If you need more info or are interested, please contact the office at 518-564-3362.
