Product Information

If you have poor balance then it is essential that you are able to place your feet flat on the floor to give yourself a solid base.

In the domestic environment, however, there may be insufficient space to use a hoist for direct toilet transfers. Local Care and Repair or Staying-put schemes advise older or disabled people who own their own homes on how to modify their homes for their continued independence.If the commode is to be positioned against a wall it would be wise to choose one that does not have a pan that slides out from the back of the seat. You may be provided with equipment and services as a preventative measure, before a needs assessment is done.

Don't lock the door if you may need assistance; or use a lock that can be opened from the outside with a coin or screwdriver. Some women may find it easier to use a device (such as a She-wee) which allows them to urinate whilst standing or sitting forward in a chair, without removing any clothes, combining this with a urinal for collection. Information and advice on design issues is available for businesses and organisations from the Centre for Accessible Environments. Transferring on and off the toilet from a wheelchair is made easier if the seat heights of the wheelchair and the toilet are comparable. To make flushing the toilet easier, a lever that has a wider, flatter area to accommodate the palm of the hand can be fitted.Multi-function chairs/sanichairs can also be used, and have the advantage that they can be used as a commode and shower chair, making for a less cluttered environment. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. These toilets incorporate a macerator that pulps the solid waste to make it small enough to pass through small bore piping that will eventually link up with the main stack.
