Wheelchairs with commodes for people with disabilities: are they convenient to use?

Want to make caring for people with disabilities easier? Then one of the most convenient options is a wheeled commode. This product is also often called a wheelchair with commode, a chair with sanitary equipment, or simply a commode with a bucket. These models combine the functionality of a classic wheelchair for mobility with specialized equipment for hygiene procedures.

When should a wheeled commode be used?

The main purpose of this product is to assist people with disabilities or those who have difficulty getting from their room to the toilet on their own. It also provides relief for relatives and caregivers, as they don't have to carry the person to different rooms several times a day. A high-quality wheelchair with toilet allows you to comfortably spend most of your time in the wheelchair while still performing all necessary hygiene procedures.

Many models are equipped with a soft seat, armrests, and footrests. This allows the user to remain in the wheelchair for long periods, and if necessary, the backrest and footrests are adjustable, allowing the patient to reach a semi-recumbent position. This is especially important in cases of leg swelling or other health issues.

What types of wheelchairs with toilets are there?

• Passive models. This is a wheelchair with a toilet and small wheels. The patient cannot control it independently, so mobility is possible only with the help of an assistant.
• Active model. This is a wheelchair with a commode and large wheels, allowing the user to move independently using the rims. An assistant can also control it.

When choosing, consider the individual's needs. If the patient has retained mobility and physical strength in their arms, an active model is better; if not, a passive model is more comfortable.

What to consider when choosing a commode?

If you've decided to purchase a commode for your loved one, we recommend reviewing the following factors:

• Armrest type. Fixed or folding. The latter option is much more convenient, as the patient can transfer from a bed or sofa without hindrance.
• Functionality. A standard wheelchair with toilet facilities is suitable for basic needs, but if you require greater comfort, choose a multifunctional model with adjustable backrest, seat height, armrests, and footrests.
• Purpose. Some models are designed for indoor use only, while others have wheels for outdoor mobility.
