Commode Wheelchairs

Some models with adjustable height can be positioned over a standard toilet, but most are designed to be used with the included bucket. Check product specifications for "toilet positioning" feature if this is needed.

Only models specifically labeled as "shower commode" or with rust-resistant/waterproof features. Look for aluminum or stainless steel frames with waterproof cushions. Standard chrome models may rust.

Empty and clean the bucket after each use with disinfectant. Wipe the seat and frame daily. Clean wheels weekly. Check all bolts and screws monthly. Use rust-preventive spray on chrome frames in humid bathrooms.

Choose a model with at least 20-30kg more capacity than the user's weight for safety. Standard models support 90-100kg, while heavy-duty options go up to 150kg. Higher capacity usually means sturdier construction.

Models with large 24" rear wheels can function as regular wheelchairs, but most commode chairs have small caster wheels designed only for bathroom maneuvering. Check if "dual-use" or "multipurpose" features are listed.

No prescription is required to purchase a commode wheelchair in India. However, consulting with a doctor or physiotherapist can help you choose the right model based on the user's specific needs and condition.
