The Grand Throne frame provides both versatility and safety. The Grand Throne
supports the user from the back and the sides to ensure safety and stability, while the
handrails provide the option of additional support. The Grand Throne can be used
with either standard-sized toilet seat or with the Grand Throne Squat Seat (depending
on preference and comfort). The standard-sized toilet seat offers a 90 degree seated
angle whereas the Grand Throne Squat Seat offers an optimal seated position for
enhanced colon health. In cases of more complex needs, a medical professional can
advise you on what is appropriate for your individual medical needs.
The gas-lifts gently lower you down as you lean back into the toilet seat. These gas-lifts
also lift you back up again as you lean forward into a standing position. The amount
of lift required is a personal choice and generally depends upon the weight of the
individual. You can choose from the 3 models’, 100N (suitable for uses from 50kg to
60kg) or the 200N (suitable for users from 60kg to 90kg) or 300N (suitable for users from
90kg to 120kgs) individuals. The Grand Throne adds approximately 5 cm to the height
of a standard toilet. If this is too high for you simply use a step-up of your choice.
Sitting in the correct position is vital for colon health. Medical research shows that the
optimal squat position not only relaxes the puborectalis muscle (therefore triggering
the urge to push) but also enables the bowels to fully empty. The optimal squat
position prevents and eases constipation as it keeps the puborectalis muscle in a relaxed
position as the bowel empties.
Whether injured, frail or
convalescing, the Grand Throne
offers secure help in gently lowering
you down into that optimal seated
position and lifting you back up to a
standing position again.
In these images the Grand Throne is not fitted with a standard-sized toilet seat–or the
Throne Squat Seat–as it is easier to see how the Throne can be used for different purposes.
