Penner Patient Care healthcare bathing systems have been developed using three criteria — dependability, ease of operation and low cost of ownership. Use these criteria to compare the system configurations for your facility’s needs and budget. We offer 38 combinations with entry door options to accommodate most bathing areas.
Bathing staff will appreciate the time-saving fast-fill reservoirs that simplify the bathing process. Integrated transfer systems make it easier to get residents in and out of the bathing system safely. Built-in disinfection systems make cleaning fast and efficient and are available on most Penner Bathing Systems. Some systems even come with flat-screen TV/CD/DVD cabinets making bathing a more relaxing experience for the resident and staff.
Available features vary by model and configuration. Review entry-door arrangements, shampoo/oil dispensers, low-threshold entries, control panels and other options with Penner. Compare the model configurations, drawings and support information, then request a quote for the equipment your facility needs.

Questions About Healthcare Bathing Systems
How should our facility choose a bathing system?
Start with the residents’ transfer requirements, your bathing room dimensions and the route into the room. Compare door location, reservoir and transfer choices, then review the selected model’s drawings and requirements with Penner and your facility team.
Which models offer a reservoir?
Contour and Premier include a standard reservoir. Premier Elite includes a reservoir, and Cascade offers configurations with or without one. Confirm the reservoir and installation requirements for the exact configuration on your quote.
Does the same weight rating apply to every transfer and bathing system?
Weight ratings depend on the selected equipment. Penner’s standard transfers are rated up to 400 pounds and bariatric transfers up to 600 pounds. Review the transfer and bathing system ratings together before selecting equipment for your residents.
Where can our team find cleaning and disinfection instructions?
Use the operating manual for the exact bathing system and follow the disinfectant label. Review equipment and chemical compatibility, cleaning steps, contact times and rinsing requirements with your facility’s infection-prevention team.
What information should we include in a facility quote request?
Tell Penner which models you are considering, your room dimensions and entry route, facility location, and the transfer and reservoir options you need. Ask which delivery, installation, training and service items are included in the proposal.

Penner’s healthcare bathing system warranty is parts only, with coverage periods that vary by component; labor is not covered. Ask Penner for the warranty details for your selected configuration.
