A dear friend of mine is handicapped and in a wheelchair,he is in need of a padded raised commode seat?
one that will aid him in being able to transfer from the wheelchair to the raised seat .here is the problem.The few medical supply stores he has called said they do not make them anymore.i say this is crazy,the one that he trying to get looks like a potty chair,that fits over a regular toilet and has a grip bar on the left side,and on the right has no bar so that way he can move from wheelchair to commode.an it needs to be padded and soft ,due to the fact he suffers from sensitive bottom sometimes .this is a real post so please do not make fun ,thanks all the info we can get will be welcomed
I'm not sure what country you are in, and equipment varies in different countries. Where I am, in Australia. You would go for a commode chair with padded seat. This is basically a metal frame chair with wheels and a padded seat with an opening the goes over the toilet.
Most people who have these use them as a combinded shower chair/commode seat. You can get them with self propelling wheels so your friend can push himself from the shower to toilet to bedroom etc.
The sensitive skin you talk about is probably due to lack of blood flow to the skin when sitting on a hard surface, so you're right it is essential that it's a padded seat. It's also essential that your friend has the right size of opening on the seat to make sure the correct bony prominences (sitting bones, or ischial tuberosities) sit inside the opening. Otherwise he will be at risk of developing pressure ulcers.
Your best bet is to find a local occupational therapist who can measure and fit the commode seat/chair for you. They should be experienced in prescribing such equipment. If this is not an option you should look at some of the large equipment manufactuers to find exactly what you are looking for and they should be able advise where to get it in your area. One such manufacterer is invacare, see the equipment here: http://www.invacare.com/cgi-bin/imhqprd/inv_catalog/prod_cat.jsp?s=0&catOID=-536885205 There are also many other brands.
But honestly try and find a local occupational therapist, and they will know what is available and safe fo you to use. They may also be able to assist in finding funding for this equipment as it can get expensive!!
