Why we know this works!

The bedside commode is great for those who have difficulties with walking, getting to the bathroom on time, or standing up from a toilet. The commode is most commonly used at the bedside for quicker access by the user. The commode has armrests on each side that can be used when lowering onto the commode and to push off when standing up from the commode. There is a removable pail that can be taken out for convenient cleaning. The pail can also be removed to place the commode over a toilet seat for someone who is able to walk to the bathroom but may have difficulties getting up from a low toilet seat. Placing the commode will provide comfort, balance, and support for standing up. The bedside commode is perfect as a safety precaution to prevent falls during toileting.
