the bathroom. By using a bedside Bathroom Commode Chair
during your recovery you lower your risk of falling and re-injuring
yourself. A commode also makes it easier for caretakers to effectively
care for there patients without having to transfer their patient all the
way to the bathroom. In some instances the existing bathroom’s doorway
is to narrow for an individuals wheelchair to go through safely. In
cases like these a bedside commode is an affordable option compared to
remolding the existing bathroom.

features a wider seat that allows you to sit comfortably without feeling
confined. Many bariatric commodes also come with a drop arm for easy
transfer from a wheelchair or hospital bed.
