Sammons Preston Inflatable Hair Shampoo Basin for Bed Use

The Sammons Preston Inflatable Hair Shampoo Basin makes hair washing accessible for individuals who require bed-based hair care. Sized and shaped like a standard pillow, the basin fits into the space normally occupied by a pillow — simply remove the pillow, replace it with the inflated basin, and shampoo without repositioning the user. The basin inflates by mouth to form a semi-circular ring with a flat side for neck support. A large drain tube at the side allows easy drainage into a pail. When not in use, the basin folds flat for compact storage. Made of white heat-sealed plastic.
