Maddak Maddaguard Splash Guard, Toilet Seat Splash Guard

Product Information

General information on managing incontinence is also available from the Bladder and Bowel Foundation. If you have not had an opportunity to discuss your toileting difficulties with a professional, you are strongly advised to seek an assessment of your situation. Talk to your GP as they can refer you on to a specialist consultant, if necessary. Depending on your needs, they may refer you to your local continence service. A continence adviser is a specialist nurse who can give advice and support on all aspects of the treatment and management of incontinence. If you have poor balance then it is essential that you are able to place your feet flat on the floor to give yourself a solid base. The style of seat can also help.

Difficulty getting on and off the toilet is often a problem associated with arthritis and stiffness in the joints, or muscle weakness. It can be helped by: These are mobile chairs that can be wheeled by the carer and positioned over the toilet. You can be transferred into the chair in the bedroom directly from your bed where there is more space and scope to transfer. Children's musical potties and sensors provide sound to encourage/assist them with toileting. Musical potties have integral electronic sensors and can be used on a standard toilet. The sensors detect temperature increases or moisture and then play a tune. Toilet safety frame– These safety arms can be placed directly over the toilet, or can be attached to the toilet. Sometimes, they are also automatically included in the design of some models of elevated toilet seats. They provide extra stability to an individual when sitting down or getting up from a toilet seat. These comprise two circular discs that rotate one against another. They can be used to place the feet on when doing pivoting transfers.Raised toilet seats are available with arm rests for extra support when seated and when standing from the toilet. Transferring on and off the toilet from a wheelchair is made easier if the seat heights of the wheelchair and the toilet are comparable. Different techniques may be employed: Users face the toilet with their feet on the floor. They then pull themselves up and pivot 180 degrees to sit on the toilet in the conventional way. This way, you don’t have to clean up a puddle of urine regularly. Plus, disposable floor mats will also protect your bathroom floor from urine stains and smells that could develop over time. Some women may find it easier to use a device (such as a She-wee) which allows them to urinate whilst standing or sitting forward in a chair, without removing any clothes, combining this with a urinal for collection.

Bottom wipers are long handled and hold a length of toilet paper at one end to give extended reach. They are designed to assist independence in personal hygiene tasks after using the toilet particularly if you have reduced mobility in your arms or restricted reach. Different bottom wipers have a range of methods of securing and releasing the toilet paper. If further assistance and/or support is needed, then it may be necessary to use a mobile over-toilet chair or an overhead hoist. A floor-to-ceiling grab pole may be useful for some people as they allow you to pivot around them whilst still being able to hold on, but they do require significant arm and grip strength to use. Over time, that buildup underneath the toilet bowl can develop into uric acid crystals, the cause of the foul smell in your bathroom. Ideally, when seated, your hips, knees and ankles should be at 90 degrees or a right angle, with feet flat on the floor. Standard height toilets are 15-16 inches (38-40cms) high. This may not be high enough for a taller person.Reach and grip may be improved by using a handling belt. A handling belt is worn by the person being transferred and is basically a belt with handholds. It allows the carer to have a firm grip, without holding your clothing or body. The carer can guide and support your movement. It is not intended for the carer to take your body weight through the belt. Mobile or wheeled commodes make it easier to position the commode close to the user for transfers. They can also be used as a transfer chair and some can be positioned over the toilet with the commode pan removed. The user and carer must ensure that the brakes are used when transferring on/off a wheeled commode. Bedpans are more commonly used by people who are being nursed in bed and who cannot, or should not for medical reasons, be moved out of Toilet transfer bench– This toileting aid assists wheelchair bound individuals to transfer from a wheelchair safely to the toilet by sliding along the bench. Mounting easily under the toilet lid, the toilet transfer bench allows for safe transfers for handicapped individuals. Directs urine flow downward into the toilet: The splash guard effectively channels urine down into the toilet, minimizing the risk of accidental spills or messes, and promoting a hygienic restroom experience.
