Description
Drop-Arm Commode
The Drop-Arm Commode is a standard-capacity commode with arms that release or lower to support lateral transfers from a wheelchair, bed, or other seated surface. Unlike a standard fixed-arm 3-in-1 commode, the drop-arm design gives caregivers and users clearer side access during transfers. Tycon Medical supplies models depending on stock, coverage requirements, user transfer needs, and bathroom layout. Current typical options may include the Drive Medical Deluxe Steel Drop-Arm Commode and comparable Medline or ProBasics drop-arm commodes, though specific inventory is subject to change.
