The individual has bariatric needs associated with obesity, resulting in reduced mobility, flexibility and endurance. These challenges can make transfers, personal hygiene and independent toileting increasingly difficult.
A standard Closomat Palma Vita Wash and Dry Toilet, fitted with the optional Big John bariatric seat, provides a solution designed to accommodate users weighing up to 362kg/57st. The wider, supportive seat offers greater comfort and stability, while the toilet’s fully integrated automatic washing and drying functions eliminate the need for reaching and manual wiping, which may be difficult or unsafe for the individual.
The addition of the Big John seat provides enhanced support for bariatric users while retaining the Palma Vita’s established wash and dry functionality, helping maintain personal hygiene, safety and dignity.
The Closomat’s adaptable design, combined with the Big John seat, provides a long-term solution that supports independence, reduces reliance on carers and accommodates changing mobility needs.
A touch-sensitive hand/foot switch can also be incorporated to minimise physical strain and enable easier independent operation.
