Elderly and handicapped patients can benefit from the 5-inch height that the Carex Raised Toilet Seat from Compass Health provides. It features a large cut-out for added hygiene and has a contoured design to increase comfort for patients. The raised seat can be helpful for those who find it difficult to sit and bend, especially when toileting. It is easy to set the Carex seat up without any tools. The raised seat will easily go under the seat already on your toilet. It is capable of supporting up to 300 pounds and is 15 inches wide. The Carex Raised Toilet Seat is designed to fit on most standard toilets. It does not lock into place, and does not feature hinges or arms. This raised seat features anti-slip rubber pads to increase stability and patient safety. By using a Carex Raised Toilet Seat, you can achieve increased confidence when using the toilet while reducing the impact it has on your joints.
The bending action of using a traditional toilet seat can be painful or difficult for those who have arthritis and other conditions that impact the joints. Raised toilet seats can be used to accommodate a range of mobility issues, and help patients feel more confident when going to the bathroom. These seats will also make bathroom trips safer for elderly patients, as they reduce the risk of falling. Having additional height on the toilet seat reduces strain on caregivers too, making patient transfers easier.
