Mobile commodes
These metal framed commodes have a mobile base with four wheels, either all four wheels or the two rear wheels will have brakes. There are a range of backrest and footrest styles. Models are available with height adjustment, drop down armrests to facilitate side transfers, and/or large rear wheels for the user to self propel.
Please read our FAQs if you have any questions about how to change information, what the DLF ratings means, etc.
Help and advice
Ensure that the brakes are on before sitting or standing from the commode, always re-apply the brakes after moving the commode. These commodes are only designed to transport the user a short distance, e.g across a bathroom, and are not an alternative to a wheelchair.
Commodes are used with a plastic commode pan that must be emptied at regular intervals. The commode pan is removed either by lifting it out from the top or by sliding it out from underneath.
If you experience difficulty standing from chairs, toilets etc then it is important that the commode you use has armrests and has a suitable seat height for you. Ideally, users should sit with their feet flat on the floor, or footrests, so that they are stable and with their thighs horizontal (with your knees and hips at the same height). If your knees are higher than your hips when you are sat on your commode then it may be too low for you. Armrests may also help as you can push up from these when standing.
