Description
Bariatric Drop-Arm Commode
The Bariatric Drop-Arm Commode combines a heavy-duty extra-wide commode frame with drop arms for lateral transfers from a wheelchair, bed, or chair. This is distinct from a standard drop-arm commode because the bariatric frame provides higher capacity and added width, and distinct from a bariatric 3-in-1 commode because the arms release or lower for side transfer access. Tycon Medical supplies models depending on stock, coverage requirements, user size, transfer method, and caregiver needs. Current typical options may include the Drive Medical Deluxe Bariatric Drop-Arm Commode and comparable ProBasics, Rhythm Healthcare, Lumex, or NOVA bariatric drop-arm commodes, though specific inventory is subject to change.
