When a client cannot reliably get to the bathroom in time, a commode chair beside the bed removes the distance and the risk. The Red Gum B588 is the bariatric version, carrying a high user weight rating and built on a wide frame with a moulded plastic seat, backrest and armrests.
Who it suits
It is intended for larger clients who need a stable seated base for toileting away from the toilet, in homes, respite and residential care. Seat height adjusts across eight settings, so it can be matched to a bed height for a transfer or set lower for a client who cannot clear a high seat. The backrest comes off and the splashguard lifts out, which makes both cleaning and over toilet use straightforward.
The bowl has its own carry handle and a lid, all surfaces are smooth plastic that wipes down, and the frame is light enough for a carer to reposition without help.
