Sauna with wide door, without threshold and with room to enter with a manual wheelchair. An old wheelchair is used to transfer to the sauna and to shower. In the sauna the user sits on the bench and uses a small pressure-relieving cushion (ROHO adaptor).
The user can open and close the ventilation hatch on the ceiling. The hatch itself consists of a piece of sauna panel and is equipped with a hinge and a long rope that runs from the hatch through a loop on the ceiling and hangs down so that the user can reach it, see photo 2.
Model, pressure-relieving cushion: Roho Adaptor
Users comments
It was important for the user to be able to manage the ventilation hatch on his own and it took him a while before he thought of the current solution.
