A shower and skin care unit for immobile patients. A case open at one end receives a shower-type gurney with the patient lying supine thereon with his head extending outwardly outside the open end of the case. Multiple shower heads deliver water and/or skin treating reagents. A closure releasably closes the open end of the case and positions beneath the patient's head a shampoo tray which drains into the case interior. A baffle molded on the interior of the closure below the shampoo tray also drains into the case interior. A trough on the case floor collects the waste water from the shower heads and delivers it to a suitably positioned case drain outlet.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 24, 1992 and granted November 6, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 24, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 24, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
