TTB

Medical abbreviation · Rehabilitation

TTB stands for Tub transfer bench, a rehabilitation abbreviation.

Bench that sits partly inside and partly outside a bathtub so a person can sit down outside the tub and slide across, avoiding stepping over the tub wall.

Example: OT trained TTB transfer with handheld shower; family return demo completed.

Usage notes

Used by people who cannot safely step over a tub, including those after hip replacement or with poor balance. Pairing it with a handheld shower head lets users bathe seated. Medicare does not usually cover tub benches.
