Product Information

Commode pans fit within the commode to collect urine in a portable vessel. This can then be taken to a toilet or sluice to be flushed away. The height of wooden commodes tend to be fixed and they may fit in better within the home environment, looking more like a standard chair or disguised as an armchair. The height of metal commodes can be fixed or adjustable; they can be static or mobile and tend to be easier to wipe down.

You may be provided with equipment and services as a preventative measure, before a needs assessment is done. If, on assessment, your needs are high enough to qualify for help from social services, they will then look at your income and savings to see whether you will need to pay towards any future services you receive. These services might include further disability equipment or adaptations to your home including the provision of remote support via the telephone (telecare), help from a carer, the delivery of meals or residential care. Mobile or wheeled commodes make it easier to position the commode close to the user for transfers. They can also be used as a transfer chair and some can be positioned over the toilet with the commode pan removed. The user and carer must ensure that the brakes are used when transferring on/off a wheeled commode. Rails can be used to push up from, or to pull yourself up with. They are generally fixed to the wall alongside the toilet, but if this is not structurally possible, then a rail that extends from the wall behind the toilet could be used. Sanitary fluids are used in conjunction with chemical toielts and commodes to maintain a hygienic environment. A floor-to-ceiling grab pole may be useful for some people as they allow you to pivot around them whilst still being able to hold on, but they do require significant arm and grip strength to use.
