Please note: All prices are for individual units.

The Performance Health Shower/Commode Chair (081172550) is a professional-grade, multi-functional mobility aid specifically engineered for patient safety and clinical versatility within institutional settings. This unit is designed to function as a shower chair, a stationary commode, or a stable seating surface, making it an essential component for patients with limited mobility or those recovering from orthopedic surgery. This chair features a reinforced frame for durability and stability, supported by non-skid casters to ensure safety on various wet or dry floor surfaces during use within a designated clinical area.

This specific configuration includes swing-away arms that provide a secure grip and leverage point for patients during positioning and facilitate unobstructed lateral transfers, significantly reducing the risk of falls. The tool-free assembly and adjustable design allow for rapid clinical deployment and customization to the specific anatomical requirements of the patient. The unit comes complete with a commode pail and cover, providing a comprehensive solution for dignified patient care in acute care, long-term care, and rehabilitation environments.

Important Safety Information

Contraindications

Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 300 lbs. Exceeding this limit may cause structural failure and result in significant patient injury.

Do not use this device on uneven or inclined surfaces, as this can compromise the center of gravity and lead to tipping.

Warnings & Precautions 

Ensure all wheel locks are fully engaged before allowing patient transfers or shifting patient weight. An unlocked chair during transfer is a high-risk fall hazard.

Ensure that the swing-away arms are fully locked back into the downward position before the patient attempts to use them for leverage or support.

Always ensure the seat and pail are securely positioned before the patient attempts to sit. Failure to secure the components can result in the patient slipping or falling through the frame.

Monitor the casters and locking mechanisms for wear and tear. If the wheels become stiff or the locks fail to engage, they must be serviced immediately to maintain the safety integrity of the unit.

Clean the unit regularly with non-abrasive institutional-grade disinfectants. Avoid using harsh chemical solutions that may degrade the integrity of the padding or frame over time.
