A bariatric commode built extra wide, with a padded back and adjustable height, for clients who need a comfortable and properly sized seat beside the bed or in the bathroom. Seat width is the thing that decides whether a commode is used at all, and a client who does not fit will avoid it.
The padded back supports clients who need to sit for longer, which is common where bowel routines take time or where the client uses the frame as a shower chair as well. Height adjustment lets you set it to match the bed or the toilet, so the transfer is level and neither the client nor the carer is working up or down a step.
For carers, a stable, correctly sized commode close to the bed removes the night time walk to the bathroom, which is where many falls happen.
