The toilet commode chair is an essential home aid for the temporarily disabled person. Sickness can strike at any age and one of the things that goes first is the ability to get to the bathroom in and expeditious fashion. This especially true if you live in a house and the bathroom is on a different floor than your bedroom. It may only be in the room next to yours but if you cannot walk or wheel yourself there, it’s not accessible to you.
The toilet commode can be set up in any room for the mobility convenience of the disabled party. It can be set near a bed, so all the user must do is take a few steps to the toilet commode. The essential aid is made of durable plastic with steel legs and railings so it will hold anything that falls into the bucket beneath the molded toilet seat. The bucket is removable, allowing its contents to be flushed down a toilet and the bucket cleaned.
Your other option for reducing cleaning work is to line the bucket with plastic. In such a case, the plastic can be emptied, and the contents discarded. The bucket is still clean, ready to be lined with plastic once more for toileting once again. This method is particularly beneficial for the disabled person who is responsible for much of his or her sanitation and doesn’t have an able person cleaning regularly.
One of the best features of these type of toilets is that they have adjustable height legs. In many instances when a person falls ill, their limbs weaken, and it becomes harder and harder to lift and lower your body onto and off a lower sitting toilet. Having a higher seat reduces some of the effort that must be exerted to lift or lower yourself on and off the toilet.
Unlike the traditional toilet, the toilet chairs have arms that you can steady yourself on to lower and raise your body on and off the seat. These bars are part of the leg assembly so they can hold the full weight of your body. These sturdy plastic toilet commode chairs can hold up to 300 pounds. If the disabled party is heavier, a bariatric toilet commode chair will hold up to 1000 pounds.
The portable commode chair is ideal for any person on bed rest, temporarily disabled or disabled with a continence problem.
