Using a toilet seat

For certain diagnoses or health conditions, a toilet seat will be useful in everyday life for comfortable sanitary and hygienic procedures and emptying the bladder and bowels. The product can be used both at home and in hospitals and medical institutions.

Most often, the toilet seat is used in the following conditions:

• joint operations - hip or knee replacement,
• disability of various groups,
• musculoskeletal diseases,
• general weakness of the body and old age,
• postoperative and rehabilitation periods.

The main task of the toilet seat is to increase the height of the toilet to simplify the patient's seating. This is important when a person cannot bend the hip joint at an angle of up to 90 degrees or knee joints. Also, from this position, with a raised toilet, it is easier for a person to get up.

What types of toilet seats are there?

There are several functional differences in different models of this rehabilitation device.

Thus, a toilet seat for the disabled can have different heights. The medical equipment online store MED1 offers seats with a height of 10 cm, 12 cm and 15 cm. You can choose the right height yourself by calculating the total height of the toilet with the toilet seat and calculating the desired height of the person's seat.

Toilet seats are made of special medical plastic. They have an ergonomic shape, are comfortable to sit on, are lightweight and fit all toilet models.

In our store you can buy a toilet seat:

1. standard,
2. with a lid,
3. with handrails.

A toilet seat for the disabled with handrails is a universal solution. A special design with handles helps the patient hold on when sitting down or getting up from the toilet, which allows you to save on buying additional railings.

A high toilet seat with a lid looks more aesthetically pleasing and in a vertical position the lid can serve as back support.

Toilet seat for a hip fracture in the elderly

It is necessary to order a toilet seat for a hip fracture in the elderly. After all, as you know, this injury is considered very dangerous in old age, because the rehabilitation process is very difficult and long.

In case of a hip fracture or other reason for patient immobilization, the tasks of medical staff or relatives are to make life as easy as possible for the patient and make it possible to independently perform daily activities.

Also useful are walkers for movement, which will provide additional support and confidence when walking, especially in the early rehabilitation period.

Toilet seat for hip replacement

The rehabilitation period after hip replacement is an absolute indication for buying a toilet seat. The doctor will tell you how high you should raise the toilet to comfortably sit on it and stand up.

You will need a toilet seat on the first day after surgery, so take care of buying it in advance if you or your relative is scheduled to have a hip replacement surgery. We also recommend buying a cane, which will greatly simplify the process of moving around after joint replacement.
