Types of Bariatric Commodes
Standard Heavy-Duty Commode
Standard HD commodes are designed for durability, with a wide seat for extra comfort and reinforced parts for higher maximum weight capacity. They have four sturdy legs and often come with armrests that help the user sit and stand. Drive Medical's Large Heavy Duty Drop Arm Commode is a great option.
Roll-in Heavy Duty Shower Chair
Roll-in heavy duty shower chairs have all of the benefits of a standard commode while also serving as a great transfer device. The addition of a wheel on each leg allows caregivers to transfer patients from the bed to the bathroom. This option can also be used as a shower chair. One of our most popular roll-in options is the ShowerBuddy Roll-in Shower Chair.
Heavy-Duty Commode Key Benefits
Extra-Wide Frame
Many of our heavy-duty commodes have a wider frame with an extended seat. These adjustments are designed to accommodate bariatric patients and provide a more comfortable experience. Many of our commodes are available with various seat size options.
High Weight Capacity
Heavy duty commodes minimally provide a weight capacity of 300 pounds. However, many of our options tout a much higher weight capacity. These commode chairs are built to last and have been through extensive testing to ensure a safe and secure experience.
Reinforced Parts
Heavy-duty commmodes are built to last with reinforced parts. These sturdier parts provide added safety, security, and raise the weight capacity to accommodate more patients. These stronger parts are designed to increase the chair's longevity as well.
