Commode seat (optional)
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 once the patient has been lifted
to a standing or near standing position in the manner
previously described. (See Fig 11)
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, may be utilised, or removed to enable the
patient to be positioned over a toilet. Apply chassis
brakes if leaving the patient unattended. (See Fig 12)
