Drive Medical's hinged toilet seat riser is designed to aid people in getting up and sitting down. Using the hinged toilet seat riser means you don't have to bend as far to sit, relieving stress on your hips and knees. This helps reduce pain and eliminates the need for assistance. The elevated toilet seat is durable, yet lightweight and portable, requiring no tools for assembly and fitting most elongated toilet bowls. In addition, the seat is hinged so that it can fold up and out of the way when not needed.
