Commode, Over Toilet
Over-Toilet Commode functions as a raised toilet seat and safety frame, positioning directly over an existing toilet bowl to increase seat height and provide armrests for safer sit-to-stand transfers. It supports up to 300 lbs with seat height adjustable from 16" to 22", and is a practical solution for patients who can access the bathroom but have difficulty with low toilet heights or rising from the seated position.
OxyCare technicians deliver and set up the over-toilet commode, adjust it to the correct height, and ensure a secure fit over the existing toilet. Rental is available for post-surgical recovery or short-term needs.
