Shower chair conversion to commode
The client found that his shower chair was very comfortable and also used it as a commode over the toilet. Sometimes it would be more convenient to use the chair as a commode with a “Bucket” and the request was to have one fitted. Support rails would have to clear the WC pan and the space here was obstructed by the tubular frame holding the chair seat.
Rails were made that would swing down to clear the tubular frame to fit and remove the “Bucket” and when pushed up could be latched in position for use. In this position the chair, without the “Bucket”, could also be used over the toilet.
The client’s shower chair can now double as a commode that can be used with a “Bucket” or over the toilet as required.
