PRODUCT ESSENTIALS: The most important products are designed to prevent falls in the bathroom. They include commodes/seats, bath benches, tub and floor mats, and safety rails. For add-on sales, consider carrying cushioned toilet seats, hand-held shower fixtures, toilet paper holders, soaps, towels, racks and other products you might find at a discount bed-and-bath retailer. UNDERSTAND THE PATIENT: In order to contrive the best custom bath safety package for each customer, retailers must be knowledgeable about specific patient conditions, such as arthritis, paralysis, obesity and osteoporosis, among others.
