Getting on and off a low toilet is where a lot of falls happen at home. Raising the seat shortens the distance a person has to lower themselves and gives weak knees and hips less work to do on the way back up.
This ACare seat fits onto the pan and sits under the existing lid. It is moulded plastic with a smooth surface, so it wipes down quickly and holds no moisture. The contoured opening keeps the person centred, which helps with continence and with cleaning up afterwards.
It suits someone recovering from a hip or knee replacement, a client with arthritis through the lower limbs, or anyone whose sit to stand has become slow and unsteady. It goes on quickly and comes off just as quickly once it is no longer needed, which makes it easy to test in a home.
