Due to the gait and balance problems, many Thai elders injured from slipping accidents, especially in the bathroom. Most of Thai houses, there is only a small bathroom on the 1st floor which has no separated area between wet and dry zone. DUO SEAT is a showering-dressing seat for elders. It has two seats. After showering, open the seat for dressing (the second seat is under the first one). Inside the first seat, there is a rubber floor covering that can be used as a dry floor to prevent slipping and wet tips of the trousers. With DUO SEAT, a wet zone can be turned into dry in a flip to provide more safety for elders while using the bathroom.
