Toilet Seat, Raised
Raised Toilet Seat adds 3"–6" of additional height to a standard toilet, reducing the depth of sit required during transfers and making it significantly easier for patients with hip or knee limitations, lower extremity weakness, or post-surgical restrictions to use the toilet safely and independently.
Most raised seats clip securely to the toilet bowl rim. OxyCare supplies raised toilet seats as a standard bathroom safety accessory and can advise on the appropriate height increment based on the patient's mobility limitations.
