Steel Commode Chair (Without Wheels)

Key Features & Benefits

1. Exceptional Strength & High Weight Capacity:

   • Material: Constructed from steel tubing (often chrome-plated or powder-coated for rust resistance).

   • Benefit: This is the most significant advantage. Steel chairs support much higher weight limits, often ranging from 350 lbs to 600 lbs or more, making them ideal for bariatric users.

2. Superior Stability and Safety:

   • Rigid Frame: The weight and strength of the steel frame create an incredibly stable platform that is virtually impossible to tip.

   • No Wheels: The fixed legs ensure the chair will not roll or shift during the critical moments of sitting down or standing up.

   • Benefit: Provides maximum safety and confidence for users with balance issues or those who are heavier.

3. Durability and Longevity:

   • Steel is built to withstand heavy, daily use over many years. It is less likely to bend, warp, or become damaged under stress compared to aluminium.

   • Benefit: A long-term solution for chronic conditions or permanent disabilities.

4. Multi-Functional Use:

   • As a Bedside Commode: With the bucket in place.

   • As a Toilet Seat Riser: Placed over the toilet (with bucket removed), it provides a higher seat and armrests for easier sitting and standing.

   • As a Shower/Bath Chair: The rust-resistant finish allows it to be used safely in the shower, providing a stable seat.

5. User-Friendly Design (Typical Models):

   • Padded Arms & Seat: Many steel models come with or have options for thicker, more comfortable padded armrests and seats, which is crucial for extended sitting.

   • Adjustable Legs: Most models offer height-adjustable legs to ensure a perfect and safe fit for the user and their toilet.

   • Removable Bucket: Easy to empty and clean.

Common Uses & Ideal For

• Bariatric Patients: The primary use case. Designed specifically to safely accommodate larger individuals.

• Long-Term Care: For individuals with permanent mobility restrictions who need a durable, "set-it-and-forget-it" solution.

• Users with Significant Balance Issues: The unparalleled stability is crucial for those at high risk of falling.

• Hospitals and Care Facilities: Where equipment must withstand constant, rigorous use by a variety of patients.
