The many features of the Rifton HTS toilet system
June 13, 2022, by Yazmin Flores
Physical disability includes people who partially or permanently present bodily deficiencies that sometimes arise from their participation in society, due to various barriers within the city, work, school, and even their homes.
Inside the home we find obstacles to carry out activities of daily living, such as stairs, steps, small spaces and even the bathroom.
In addition, hygiene activities, both for evacuating and showering in people with some type of motor disability, often require the provision of support for their performance by a caregiver, either nursing staff or family members.
Maintaining support in these activities is not easy for the caregiver, since it requires physical effort and time to meet the person's daily demands, becoming a daily challenge for both parties.
Currently, the concept of facilitator is called the technical aids that people have to increase the degree of independence or carry out an activity in a simpler way.
The HTS chair is a facilitating technology for hygiene activities.
It is a multifunctional, adjustable seating unit that allows use in both the toilet and the shower.
It is possible to choose between 5 bases, some of them are stationary or with wheels to be able to use it in the same bathroom as the whole family.
For use in the shower, it allows the base to tilt, it is waterproof, easy to clean, as well as being removable.
As for the toilet, thanks to its tilting seat, it is easier to carry out transfers from sitting to standing.
It also features footrests, flip-up arms, a splash deflector and a rear opening in the seat for better access at post-bath clean-up time.
The HTS shower chair has multiple advantages by being able to use a single piece of equipment for two activities, and as if that were not enough, it is adjustable in size so that it can be used for more years.
There are multiple ways to configure an HTS, adapting to the requirements of each person, caregiver and space. If you have questions about which accessories to order, please contact us.
