Carex Toilet Seat Elevator - For Elongated Toilet Seats - White

Recently purchased this product and it’s terrible - makes the toilet less safe. When installing the unit it has an angle at the back that cause it to lift when you tighten it - will not sit flat - store refuses to return it.

Well-made, easy to install, durable, and helpful product.

After hip surgery my client found all toilet seats and commodes uncomfortable because they hit the wounded area. The most comfortable seat was the original toilet seat. Most of the gadgets he tried slid a bit (elevators, tall toilet seats, thick toilet seats, cushioned toilet seats, even the one on the commode, etc.). This one fit securely and could be used with the toilet seat he was used to. Also, something that is extremely important is that this seat elevator was well sealed with an easy to clean seam. Sanitizing was never a problem. Most of the others available, had seams, openings or other places germs could hide and multiply, which is Very bad in a toilet or commode seat. Some were basically impossible to sanitize but very easy to soil. . . yuck!!!! The last thing a post-op hip surgery patient needs is something breeding germs near the wound site! The bedside commode which could be used over a toilet was too upright to allow him to lean back a little. This elevator allowed the toilet seat top to lean back a little. By not using the commode, he was able to easily sit correctly and comfortably, and get up without putting his new hip joint in danger. Note: My patient did not need the arm rests of a commode with which to lift himself up because there was a sink counter (on one side) and a window sill (on the other side) of the toilet. There was a grab bar next to the other toilet in the home. Shortly after surgery he definitely needed to grab and pull/push up on something.
