After a lower limb amputation, a residual limb left unsupported on a shower commode can be painful and can pull the pelvis out of alignment. This amputee leg support mounts to the chair frame and gives the limb a padded surface to rest on.
Supporting the residual limb helps keep your client sitting square, which matters for comfort through a shower and for skin integrity over time. It also gives the person something to push into when they shift their weight.
The stainless steel and polyurethane construction copes with a wet bathroom and repeated cleaning, so it stands up to daily use in a facility as well as at home.
