The Alerta Portable Toilet Surround provides stable bilateral grab-rail support for patients who require assistance during sit-to-stand transfers at the toilet.
The adjustable height frame accommodates different toilet heights and patient dimensions without permanent installation or wall fixings. The freestanding design allows relocation between rooms or facilities as needed. The surround supports patient independence and dignity during toileting by providing secure handholds that reduce the need for direct carer assistance during the transfer.

Toilet surrounds should be selected based on the individual's assessed toileting needs. CQC Regulation 12 requires that equipment supports safe, person-centred care. Freestanding surrounds should be assessed for stability on the specific bathroom floor surface. The frame should be positioned so that the grab rails are accessible from a seated position without the patient needing to reach or twist.
Is this toilet surround stable without wall fixings?
Yes. The freestanding frame is designed to provide stable support without wall fixings. However, stability depends on the floor surface. On smooth or uneven surfaces, check that the frame does not slide during use. Some facilities place non-slip matting beneath the frame legs for additional grip on polished floors.
Can this be used with a raised toilet seat?
Yes. The adjustable height frame accommodates toilets with raised seats. Adjust the grab rail height to match the combined toilet and raised seat height so that the rails are at the correct position for the patient to push up from seated. Confirm stability after height adjustment.
