Medical Walk-In Tubs: Enhancing Safety, Comfort, and Healing

Walk-in tubs are a transformative solution for individuals seeking greater safety, comfort, and therapeutic benefits in their bathing experience. At Indiana Home Safety and Mobility, we specialize in offering ADA- and FDA-certified medical walk-in tubs designed to meet the specific needs of those with mobility challenges, individuals recovering from surgery, or anyone requiring additional support due to chronic conditions like neuropathy or arthritis. We are proud to be the primary vendor of these specialized tubs in the state of Indiana.

Jet Options for Medical Needs

Our walk-in tubs include advanced jet systems that cater to both relaxation and medical therapy:

 1. Hydrojets

• Adjustable water jets provide targeted therapy to improve circulation and reduce symptoms of neuropathy, arthritis, and chronic pain.
• These jets are particularly beneficial for those recovering from surgery or physical therapy, as they help soothe sore muscles and joints.

 2. Air Jets

• Air jets create gentle bubbles that enhance relaxation, making them ideal for general comfort and stress relief.
• These tubs are often chosen by individuals seeking a spa-like experience with less focus on medical needs.

 3. Microbubble Jets

• This innovative feature releases millions of tiny air bubbles that cleanse and exfoliate the skin.
• Ideal for individuals with limited mobility, these jets support hygiene and skin health without requiring additional effort.

 4. Aromatherapy and Self-Cleaning Systems

• Aromatherapy diffusers add calming scents to the bathing experience, enhancing relaxation and aiding in mental well-being.
• A self-cleaning purge system eliminates the need for manual cleaning before and after use, making these tubs low-maintenance and convenient.
  

Medical vs. Relaxation Tubs

While some walk-in tubs focus solely on luxury with air jets for relaxation, medical-grade tubs go further by combining hydrotherapy, microbubble jets, and advanced features tailored for healing and rehabilitation. Certified models also include:

• Adjustable time limits to ensure safe use.
• Built-in grab bars, lower thresholds (1 to 2 inches), and wider doors for accessibility.
• Dual-drain technology for quick water release.

Price Range for Walk-In Tubs

• Plastic Walk-In Tubs (Air Jets): These tubs, which focus primarily on relaxation, typically range from $6,000 to $10,000. They include air jets for a relaxing bathing experience but lack the advanced therapeutic features found in medical models.
• Medical Walk-In Tubs: These high-quality tubs offer multiple therapeutic functions such as hydrotherapy, microbubble jets, aromatherapy, and chronotherapy. They also feature superior build quality, with a lifetime warranty on the silicone seal around the door (compared to the plastic seals in lower-quality tubs, which tend to fail after 3 to 5 years).
• These medical tubs are designed with thresholds ranging from 1 to 2 inches, making it easier to enter and exit. They also come with dual-drain systems, adjustable water jets, and a self-cleaning purge system.
  

Superior Quality and Professional Installation

Medical walk-in tubs are a significant investment, but their therapeutic benefits, combined with their higher durability and safety features, make them a worthwhile choice. All medical walk-in tubs offered by Indiana Home Safety and Mobility are installed by certified plumbers and factory-trained professionals, ensuring a seamless and reliable installation process.

A Worthwhile Investment

Although walk-in tubs are typically not covered by Medicare, their therapeutic and safety benefits can far outweigh the cost. For individuals recovering from surgery, living with chronic conditions, or seeking a higher standard of comfort and safety, these tubs promote independence and improve overall quality of life.
