Shower and Toilet Chair with Open Armrests and Backrest

Supportive, Accessible and High-Capacity Shower Commode for Bariatric Use

Navigating daily hygiene routines can be a source of significant stress and concern when standard equipment doesn't provide the necessary support. For larger individuals, the fear of a chair not being strong enough or the discomfort of a poor fit can compromise both safety and dignity. Finding a solution that is robust, practical, and accommodating is essential for maintaining independence and ensuring peace of mind for users and their carers.

The Shower and Toilet Chair with Open Armrests is engineered to address these challenges directly. With an exceptional maximum user weight of 400kg, it offers a stable and secure platform for both showering and toileting. Its thoughtful design includes a clear rear open space, allowing it to be positioned smoothly over most standard toilets, which simplifies transfers and reduces manual handling. The open armrests provide unobstructed access for personal hygiene, making daily tasks easier and more comfortable for everyone involved.
