Toilet Seat Lifts - A Life Saver
Posted by admin at 05:14 | Filed In Home Healthcare
Many older people and those that suffer from mobility related diseases have trouble standing and sitting. This can make things like getting off of the couch or out of the recliner very hard and painful. Safely sitting on and getting up from the toilet can pose an even greater problem and because of the many hard and unforgiving surfaces commonly found in bathrooms can also be incredibly dangerous. For years the only solution was to hire someone to help you in the bathroom or to rely on the help of a loved one. This solution can be both embarrassing and can mean a reduction in your freedom. For the living room there is a lift chair and for the bathroom there is a toilet seat lift.
A toilet seat lift can be used to lower and raise a person onto the toilet. It moves at a steady pace and uses a very smooth and fluid motion to avoid jerks that could result in a fall. By utilizing a toilet seat lift it is possible to use the bathroom independently and without assistance. There are many different models available on the market, but one of the most popular is the award winning Tush Push 2.
The name sounds like an obscene dance move that the younger crowd is so fond of, but it is actually the best non-commercial toilet seat available on the market today. The Tush Push 2 installs in a matter of minutes on most toilets without requiring modification of the toilet. This makes it perfect for traveling because it can easily be installed and uninstalled. The unit itself only weighs 45 pounds, so it can be easily moved by most adults. The Tush Push 2 uses a dual motor configuration that results in a powerful machine that can lift up to 500 pounds. The seat height can be adjusted and spans a distance of 19 to 26 inches. The seat width is 14 inches and the overall width is 25 inches.
The Tush Push 2 has a set of adjustable and removable hand rails for added support. The Tush Push 2 is a snap to clean and can be configured for male or female use. The device is covered by a 3 year warranty, but it is unlikely that you will use it. It is still nice to have the option just in case though.
Getting up from the toilet can be incredibly hard and for many was not even an option before purchasing the Tush Push 2. It does not make sense to invest in a lift chair for your living room and not to purchase a toilet seat lift. A fall in the bathroom can prove very treacherous and it is easy to do. Rather than take this chance with yourself or with someone you love it is far better to make the investment in a toilet seat lift like the Tush Push 2. This way you can comfortably rest at night knowing you are not in danger of falling or relying on others to help you use the bathroom.
