The Lift Seat Toilet Raiser

Many people find it difficult to stand up from a sitting position and need assistance with raising or lowering themselves. This can be particularly distressing and difficult when getting on and off the toilet.

Using a two buttoned hand control the LIFT SEAT Toilet Raiser can slowly and smoothly lower the user to a sitting position over the toilet and raise them back up to their feet. Like a riser-recliner chair, it has a “sit to stand” motion which engages the body’s major muscle groups in the correct sequence – the most efficient way to raise people to their feet.

The Lift Seat Toilet Raiser gives back freedom to use the toilet independently, delaying help from carers and reducing the number of assistants required. The Lift Seat also reduces the risk of falling or getting stuck while getting on or off the toilet.

VERTICA Toilet Lift

Conditions such as Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM), Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and others can cause problems standing due to quadriceps muscles becoming weaker, which are involved in straightening the knees. This means that before standing up, taking their own weight, users with these conditions need to lock their knees before elevating themselves to a standing position. The VERTICA Toilet Lifter rises high but most importantly with a vertical lift with no tilt at any point in its movement, making it much easier to lock the knees.

  • Lowers the user from a standing position until they are over the toilet
  • Raises them back up from sitting to standing
  • Utilises a true vertical rise motion with no tilt
  • Uses the existing toilet, with no conversion work required.
  • Proper oval shaped opening allowing for easy toileting
  • Quick and easy to set up
