The Delta SC1 is a mobile shower commode for a client who cannot walk into the shower and needs to be showered and toileted in the same chair.
Who it suits
It suits a person who needs full assistance with hygiene, where a carer wheels them from bedroom to bathroom, showers them in the chair and uses the same seat over the toilet or with the pan in place. The seat has a removable cut out and the chair comes with a commode pan and lid, so it covers both jobs without a second transfer.
Swing away armrests and removable swing away leg rests open the chair up for a side transfer or a hoist sling, which is what makes the difference for a carer working alone. Nylon castors with lockable front brakes hold the chair steady during the transfer, and a self propelling wheel kit is available if your client can push themselves.
It is designed for even surfaces with a limited safe incline, so check the bathroom approach when you assess.
