Our Story

SoSoak was designed to improve the ease and quality of care for both the patient and caregiver.

Several years ago, I was working on an extended care unit trying to calm down an elderly confused patient at bedtime. She would walk the halls at night, anguished and inconsolable, pushing us away when we tried to help.


Finally the proverbial light bulb went off. I took her to her room and looked down the back of the diaper. Her skin was bright red and breaking down.


Pain in the anogenital region is often called “exquisite” pain due to its sharp, intense and relentless nature.


We knew a soak in the tub would help immensely but we didn’t have enough staff to bathe her safely. She’d fall. So we put her to bed after cleaning her up with wipes and barrier cream. It didn’t help.


That night, I sketched the first of many versions of a shower soaking chair. Basically, a bathtub on legs. And 6 years later, it is finally here.


Ironically, I had surgery right before production. Luckily, I had the 3D printed prototype. I had used the soaking chair many times before, but never actually needing it for wound care, swelling and pain. And after sitting and soaking during those post operative weeks, I knew this was it. I healed quickly with very little pain.
Bathing and hygiene can now be an easy, relaxing experience with all the benefits of a tub soak, simply by sitting down in a chair.


And I can personally assure you, the shower soaking chair will change the way we think about hygiene, bathing and soaking. Especially for those who need it the most.

SoSoak™ is the only rotomolded shower soaking chair... Why Rotomold?

Durability

Manufactured in the USA as a one piece, double walled chair makes it structurally stronger than other shower chairs available on the market. The rotomold process is used to make industrial laundry carts, kayaks, outdoor furniture, and many more products that require exceptional durability.

Easy to Clean

Because of the one piece construction, there are no cracks or crevices for dirty water to pool and accumulate. The chair is easily cleansed with soap and warm water, or antibacterial wipes.

Chemically Resistant

Resistant to body oils and fluids, and salt & cleaning solutions, which adds years to the life of the chair.
