Bariatric Commode is a heavy-duty bedside and over-toilet commode designed for patients weighing up to 650 lbs. It features a reinforced steel frame, extra-wide seat measuring 27" W × 18.5" D, and height-adjustable legs to accommodate bariatric patients who require safe, independent, or assisted toileting in the home or care setting.

The commode functions as a bedside toilet with bucket, or the bucket can be removed and the unit placed directly over the toilet for use as a raised toilet seat. OxyCare delivers and sets up bariatric commodes at the patient's location, and rental is available for short-term needs.
