Designed by midwives, for mothers and midwives.
The AQVA maternity bath is a freestanding 1850 × 1310 mm bath with a 400 litre working fill, designed by midwives for warm-water immersion in labour and for birth, and made to order in Melbourne.
A maternity bath has two users: the woman in the water, and the midwife beside it. The AQVA maternity bath was designed by midwives for both.
Room for the mother to move and settle. Four stainless steel handles to hold. A wide rim to lean on, and for the midwife to work from. A removable step in and out.
Ergonomic, inviting, functional — form and function together.
Built for the birth.
Non-contact heating
A non-contact heating system. Details are in the specifications.
Fast drain

Handles

Step

Hand shower

Surface

Kept for the next twenty years.
A birth suite bath is a twenty-year decision. The medical-grade silk surface is colour-fast and UV stable, and still presents as day one after twenty-plus years.
Composite and gelcoat construction, finished the way every AQVA bath is.
One contact, from specification to after-sales.
Every AQVA maternity bath project has a dedicated account manager — for the midwifery team, procurement, the architect and the builder.
