Commode Seat (Accessory)
For toileting patients at the chair or bedside or for
patients who cannot be transported with the transfer
sling, the use of the commode seat and frame is the
recommended method of transporting patients over
longer distances. The commode frame is inserted
into the holes in the chassis legs (see Fig. 10), once
the patient has been lifted to a standing or near
standing position in the manner previously
described.
Removal of any clothing can be attended to, and the
patient is then lowered down onto the commode
seat. It is recommended that the patient is kept
supported by the sling.
The retractable commode pan, accessible from the
rear of the seat, (see Fig. 11), may be utilised, or
removed to enable the patient to be positioned over
a toilet. Apply chassis brakes if leaving the patient
unattended.
Transportation should be done with the
chassis legs closed, it will be easier
through doorways etc.

other part of their body to be placed in the
area between the foot support and chassis
legs when the chassis legs are closing.
