Brand: Drive Medical
Typical price (approx.): approx. US$115–150

Who it helps

This may help people who find getting up, sitting down or moving between seats hard; and people who feel unsteady while walking or standing.

Check before buying

Set the seat level with the bed or chair you transfer from, and push straight down on the frame. Sideways force on a drop-arm commode can make it slide or tip, so ask an OT to show you the transfer.
Check the weight capacity, dimensions and installation requirements on the manufacturer's page.
Check return policies in case it doesn't suit you.

Limitations

This is safety equipment: a poor fit or installation can make things less safe, not more. An OT or physio can help you choose and set it up.
