Toilet Seat Hook

Product Information

These seats are ideal mobility aids for users with very restricted mobility, or reduced balance, and may replace the need for a separate toilet frame, or grab rails alongside. We are delighted to tell you that the NRS Healthcare Novelle Clip-On Raised Toilet Seat has been tried and tested by our team of Occupational Therapists who are proud to give it the OT Recommended seal of approval. Drop-down toilet rails provide support on a second side, if no wall is present for fixed rails. They also allow the rail to be lifted out of the way when not needed, or if a carer needs to move closer to the individual on the toilet. If you decide to buy equipment privately it is best to try and compare the different ranges first. You may have an equipment demonstration centre near you that you can visit to view different equipment. You will receive impartial advice to help choose appropriately. Raised toilet seats without lids are what I would describe as, "standard raised toilet seats". They come in a range of height options, typically 5, 10, or 15 cm (2, 4, or 6 inches). The height of the seat depends on the users’ height and their individual needs, as well as their level of mobility.

Apply a cleaning solution to the toilet seat. You can use a commercial cleaner or make your own solution by mixing one part bleach with one part water. All OT Recommended products are tested for their functionality, ease of use, safety, and value for money.

Clip-on raised toilet seats simply clip directly onto the existing toilet seat, rather than the toilet bowl, with the existing seat lid lifted up and out of the way. These are toilet seats attached to a metal frame that surrounds the toilet. Their height can usually be adjusted to set the seat at the height required for Another benefit is increased accessibility. Clipping on to the toilet seat can make it easier for people to get on and off the toilet, especially those with limited mobility or disabilities. This can also help people who are overweight or obese, as it can provide additional support and stability. Depending on the make and model of the toilet seat, some of the arms are at a fixed height, others are height adjustable and can be folded out of the way. This is beneficial if other family members use the toilet, or if there is limited space in the bathroom for a toilet frame. Most of the raised toilet seats with arms are fixed to the toilet and provide a discreet toilet raiser for domestic use. Bariatric Toilet Seats One of the main benefits is increased stability and balance. By clipping on to the toilet seat, users can feel more secure and stable, reducing the risk of falling or slipping. This can be particularly helpful for people with limited mobility or balance issues, such as those who are elderly or have disabilities.

Users positions their wheelchair facing the toilet and slide forwards to straddle the toilet bowl, facing the cistern. These are usually made of fibreglass or clay and can be shaped and coloured to match your existing toilet pedestal.

How Does A Raised Toilet Seat Help?

Clipping on a toilet seat can provide several benefits, particularly for people with mobility issues or disabilities. Padded raised toilet seats are exactly that, padded, to provide the user some cushioning and comfort, as well as providing extra height to their existing seat. This type is simple to fit and can be easily removed, as they have a hook and loop attachment, so a form of screw attachment is required. Someone who is frail or very thin, or who needs to sit on the toilet for a while may need a more comfortable seat to sit on. Padded toilet seats that replace the existing seat, If you have not had an opportunity to discuss your toileting difficulties with a professional, you are strongly advised to seek an assessment of your situation. Talk to your GP as they can refer you on to a specialist consultant, if necessary. Depending on your needs, they may refer you to your local continence service. A continence adviser is a specialist nurse who can give advice and support on all aspects of the treatment and management of incontinence.

Bidet toilet seat: A bidet toilet seat is designed to be used with a bidet, which is a device that sprays water to clean the private parts. Bidet toilet seats typically have a hole in the front for the bidet spray and a seat that can be raised or lowered. Take a look at a previous guide for further help choosing the right toilet seat. Step 2. How to Remove a Toilet Seat 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. One of the easiest ways of providing alternative facilities is to use a commode. A range of different styles are available. Features that you may need to consider are:

Disability support with a raised toilet seat

Mobile or wheeled commodes make it easier to position the commode close to the user for transfers. They can also be used as a transfer chair and some can be positioned over the toilet with the commode pan removed. The user and carer must ensure that the brakes are used when transferring on/off a wheeled commode.
