The Bariatric Drop-Arm Commode (1,000 lbs. Capacity) is an ultra-reinforced mobility aid designed specifically for bariatric patients who require extreme stability and assistance with lateral transfers. The defining feature is its drop-arm mechanism, which allows the armrests to be lowered independently. This enables a smooth, level transfer from a bed or wheelchair directly onto the commode, significantly reducing the physical strain on both the user and the caregiver.
Key Features
Unrivaled Weight Capacity: Engineered with high-strength, reinforced steel tubing to safely support users up to 1,000 lbs, providing ultimate peace of mind for high-risk clinical environments.
Easy-Release Drop-Arms: Large, easy-to-operate release levers allow the arms to drop out of the way for lateral transfers. This is critical for patients who cannot stand and must slide across surfaces.
Extra-Wide Seating Area: Features a significantly widened frame (typically 23″ to 25″ between arms) to accommodate larger body types comfortably without the risk of skin pinching or constriction.
Reinforced Stability: Designed with a wide base and non-slip, extra-large rubber feet to prevent the unit from sliding or tipping during heavy-load transitions.
Comfort & Hygiene: Includes a deep, padded seat and backrest for comfort during extended use. The commode bucket is extra-large and features a “slide-out” design for easy cleaning without lifting the resident.
Dual-Purpose Functionality: Can be used as a standalone bedside commode or positioned over a standard toilet to act as a raised toilet seat with safety rails.
