Welcome to our Toilet Accessories, Aids and Equipment section. Restore your independence in the bathroom with our great range of products designed specifically for the disabled and elderly.
Managing toileting activities is an essential
daily living task that should be carried out
independently whenever possible to
maintain privacy and dignity. There are
many issues to consider including access to
toilet facilities; transferring on and off the
toilet; and tending to oneself. Solutions can
generally be found by altering the
approaches to the required tasks; using
special equipment; or if a simpler solution
can not be found, altering the home
environment.
Grab and hand rails can be positioned around the home where you need extra support and reassurance or need to carry out difficult physical activity. They are very commonly used in the bathroom to assist with bathing and toileting or by a doorway for instance where there may be a step or two to negotiate.
One of the easiest ways of providing
alternative toilet facilities is to use a commode. A huge range of different styles is available.
Commodes are used with a plastic
commode pan that must be emptied at
regular intervals.
Seat height and style is important. Ideally,
users should sit with their feet flat on the
floor so that they are stable. A larger person
might be more comfortable sitting on a seat
that is square with a central aperture rather
than a WC-style seat. If sitting balance is
poor, a more specialised commode that has
a higher backrest and positioning supports
may be needed.
Wherever possible, personal cleansing
should be an independent task. This section offers a range of assistive toilet and hygiene products such as bottom wipers and hygiene gloves.
Incontinence covers, or pads, which protect mattresses, pillows, and duvets are available in a range of sizes, styles and fabrics. These help to minimise leaks and stains, reduce laundry and save on replacing worn bedding.
