Burnett ReMould Back and Side Bath Support
The Back & Side Bathing Support provides lateral support as well as back and head.
This support can be used in three ways; either as a back and neck rest with side lobes supporting the hips, or with the side lobes placed on either side of the thorax. The backrest can be used as a head support allowing the user to lie fully reclined. This support can also be used for taller clients whose feet are wedged at the end of the bath.

Features
The ReMould Vacuum Support Range
The first vacuum support was devised over 50 years ago and it was so successful that the idea developed into a range and over the past two decades
through professional therapists input we now have a comprehensive range of solutions that are available today.
The ReMould Vacuum Support System is a flexible and highly adaptable solution to meet the postural needs of both adults and children.
ReMould’s are designed to provide comfortable postural support to the user within the seating area required.
As it is not a fixed mould, it is able to adapt to the user’s changes easily.
All of our supports are manufactured in a sealed hygienic material and can be used for more than one user.
Standards products are available alongside a completely bespoke design and manufacturing service.

Usability
Back and Side Bath Supports
The ReMould’s are a vacuum system, so they are rigid when used, so they have no pressure reliving properties.
However because the cushion molds exactly to the shape of the individual there is effective dissipation of their weight.
The support can be showered in clean water and washed with a dilute solution of washing detergent (washing up liquid).
Diluted disinfectants can also be used for hygiene with special care applied to the suction cups and seams.
Suckers secure to the sides of bath
Suckers allow you to secure the item to the bath or shower to ensure that it does not slip on entry and exit. In hard water areas it is advisable to de-scale
the suction cups quarterly by removing them from the support and soaking them in de-scaling solution.
Pumps
The hand pumps are compatible with the whole of the ReMould range however we would recommend using the hand pump for smaller sized supports.
Hand Pumps
The foot pumps are compatible to use with the whole ReMould range however we would recommend using the foot pump for larger-sized supports.
Vacuum system
Burnett Vacuum Support System
Established by John Burnett
The system maintains its shape at room temperature almost indefinitely with a simple weekly maintenance regime to ensure that the client has the most support possible.
With frequent changes of pressure, shape and spasms, air may need extracting more frequently.
If a ReMould is not maintaining its vacuum for 24 hours, it will need to be repaired.
Safety
All of our products undergo a 48-hour test process as part of our BS EN ISO 9002 process before leaving our factory.
The ReMould’s comply with BS5852 ignition source, 0.1 and 5 which means they are flame retardant. This enables us to offer a 2 year warranty on all our ReMould’s
