Commode Chairs

Which type of commode is best for you? 

A commode, aka commode chair or toilet chair, assists the elderly or handicapped with their toileting needs. There are 5 types of commodes to choose from:

1. 3-in-1 commodes can used next to bed eliminating the need for the patient to move to the bathroom, but it can be used in the bathroom on the toilet set itself. The seat is raised making it easier for the patient to get on and off. It also has arms to keep the patient from falling off. It's perfect for the patient who can use the toilet in either the bedroom or bathroom.
2. Drop-arm commodes are used bedside. Because the arms drop it makes it easier for the patient to get to the commode from either the bed or a wheelchair.
3. Rolling commode chairs offer mobility and are perfect for use in the shower, providing the shower provides roll-in access. Many rolling shower chairs can also be used as a bedside commode or rolled over the toilet and used as a raised toilet seat. Because of the flexibility, this is a popular choice.
4. Folding commodes have a folding frame that provides a compact size for travel and storage when not in use.
5. Finally, heavy duty commodes are reinforced to support heavier weights and have a wider frame. We carry heavy duty commodes in all styles.
