Oxford Mermaid Bath Hoist

The Oxford Mermaid Bath Hoist is a durable, fixed hoist that attaches securely to the side of the bath. It provides safe, smooth transfers for patients and peace of mind for carers. With multiple configurations and fixing options, it adapts to most bath-side locations in homes, care facilities, and hospitals.

You can install the hoist beside the bath (side fit) or at one of the ends (end fit). This flexibility means you can choose the best fit for your available space and bathroom layout. Selecting the right option ensures full compatibility with your bath.

You may also choose between a manual lifting mechanism with a simple winder or a battery-powered electric system. The electric version controls the up-and-down movement with an intuitive handset, while the carer swings the seat over the bath before lowering it.

For added versatility, the hoist works with either a fixed seat or the Ranger Transporter system. The Ranger option allows easier access to the bath and can also function as a toileting aid. In addition, optional accessories—such as a commode pan, footrest, bedpan, shower seat, or safety harness -help tailor the hoist to individual needs.
