Toilet Seat Hook

Product Information

Reach and grip may be improved by using a handling belt. A handling belt is worn by the person being transferred and is basically a belt with handholds. It allows the carer to have a firm grip, without holding your clothing or body. The carer can guide and support your movement. It is not intended for the carer to take your body weight through the belt.

Measure the height of your current toilet. If the raised toilet seat is to be attached directly to the toilet bowl, measure to this height. The Novelle Clip On Raised Toilet Seat can be cleaned with an autoclave at up to 80°C for maximum hygiene.

Size is an important consideration when choosing a toilet seat. You’ll want to choose a seat that is the same size as your toilet bowl.

Seats without a lid will fit onto most toilets and will generally be fitted directly onto the actual toilet bowl itself. The existing seat simply needs to be up and out of the way. Once this is done, the raised seat can fit securely and directly to the existing one. and they avoid the need to make awkward transfers within the confined space of a toilet compartment or bathroom.

One of the questions I'm frequently asked about raised toilet seats is; "Does the seat fit onto the toilet bowl itself, or on top of the existing seat?". These chairs are either free standing or mobile and are placed/wheeled over the toilet. They have two advantages: they provide better sitting supportErgonomic seats are shaped for additional comfort and support whilst seated. These seats tend to be more shaped than standard toilet seats, and often have a larger aperture with cut-away shapes at the front and rear. Attach the new fittings, using your hands to tighten up the nuts on the bolts. Be careful not to over tighten them at this stage as you’ll probably want to adjust them once you’ve fitted the new toilet seat. Sling hoists have a spreader bar to which slings are attached. For toileting purposes, since it is essential that the user’s bottom is kept clear of the sling, slings with an aperture or a toileting (divided leg) sling should be used.

In addition, clipping on to the toilet seat can also make it easier for caregivers to assist people with limited mobility or disabilities. Caregivers can use the clip to help support the user, making it easier to get on and off the toilet.
