The seat is a critical interface between the service user and the clinical function of the toilet. An incorrectly specified seat, which does not properly meet their physiological needs, may diminish the effectiveness of the toilet’s wash and dry functions and it may also be uncomfortable or even unsafe for the service user.
If you want more detailed information, we’ve created this Guide to demonstrate the importance of selecting a seat appropriate to the needs of the client, detailing the types of seats available, and covering the key assessment considerations.
Clients with thin skin, low body mass (bony prominences), or existing pressure sores.
Reduces pressure on the ischial tuberosities; provides warmth which can aid bowel relaxation.
Male clients (provides room for genitalia) or clients requiring anterior hygiene access.
Allows the client to reach in for intermittent self-catheterisation or manual stimulation without standing up.
Children or small adults who risk "falling through" a standard aperture.
Reduces anxiety; ensures the client is not holding themselves up by tension, allowing the bowel to relax.
