Bariatric Shower commode wheeler is designed to help a bariatric user weighing up to 325 kg during transfers to and from the bathroom, in the shower, and during lavatory use.
Construction
The inside width of the Shower Commode Wheeler by Cobi-Rehab is 61/71 cm, but using a five cm high PU foam seat and seven cm free space to the armrests allows the body mass to fall instead of fading out to the sides.
The footrest can carry 100 kg each and is also side and width adjustable. It makes access to intimate hygiene possible. Moreover, people with the tissue placed on the inside of their leg can sit with legs apart (up to 110 cm) and still have foot support. The footrest is covered with PU foam.
The commode wheeler has a split toilet seat, along an open hole measuring 44 cm and 22 cm at the widest point. It eases access for caregivers and avoids incidents.
The ability for bariatric users to reach far back to reach the armrest is usually not present. Therefore our Bariatric Shower Commode Wheeler has extra-long armrests. The armrests measure 64 cm and stick out 7 cm from the seat base, thus supporting the hands of mobile users. It enables the user to get into the chair by him/herself. Another option is the butterfly armrests. Butterfly armrests add 14 cm to the seating width.
The space between the backrest and seat has a clearance of 32 cm. This gives space for a possible bulbose gluteal region and enables the caregivers to reach for the sling and position the user better.
Maintenance and cleaning
The white frame components and the seat and armrests may be cleaned with water and a household detergent. To thoroughly clean the seat: unscrew the four screws under the seat and clean. Make sure to fasten the seat properly again.
