Raised Toilet Seat 100mm - mobility support, secure fitting, reduced bending strain.
- 100mm Fixed Raise Reduces Hip Flexion Depth by a Specific Clinical Increment - the 100mm raise provides a clinically defined increase in toilet height that corresponds to a well-evidenced reduction in the hip flexion depth required for toilet sitting and rising; this is particularly relevant for residents with total hip replacement restrictions (typically 90-degree maximum hip flexion in the post-operative period), where adding 100mm to the toilet height at the standard 380-430mm pan level achieves approximately 480-530mm seat height, which is sufficient to bring the hip angle closer to or within the 90-degree limit for many residents; the fixed 100mm increment provides a consistent, predictable raise without adjustment, making it suitable for prescription based on a specific height requirement.
- One-Piece Moulded Construction - Anti-Bacterial Protection - the one-piece moulded construction eliminates all seams, joins, and upholstery that would otherwise create fluid ingress points or sheltered surfaces for bacterial growth; the smooth seamless moulded surface can be wiped clean across its entire area with no zones inaccessible to the cleaning cloth; the built-in anti-bacterial protection within the material adds a second defence against bacterial colonisation at the contact surface between decontamination events, which is particularly valuable in shared care equipment used by multiple residents.
- Easy-Fit Brackets with Rubber Over-Moulding for Pan Grip - the Easy-Fit brackets attach to the underside of the toilet pan rim without tools, with rubber over-moulding on the bracket contact surfaces gripping the ceramic pan without damage; the bracket security must be confirmed before each use by confirming the seat does not rock or shift under the estimated seated load; a seat that is not firmly secured must be reattached before use.
- 375x390x100mm - Anti-Bacterial - NCL-HMC632 - dimensions 375 x 390 x 100mm; one-piece moulded seat without armrests; suitable for residents requiring only height adjustment without armrest support; occupational therapist assessment required to confirm 100mm is the appropriate raise; product code NCL-HMC632.
Raised Toilet Seat 100mm - One-Piece Moulded - Anti-Bacterial - Easy-Fit Brackets - 375x390mm

Regulatory Compliance
The Raised Toilet Seat is a medical device. The clinical indication and the 100mm raise must be confirmed by occupational therapist assessment; if a different raise increment is required (50mm or 150mm), an alternative product must be prescribed. Easy-Fit brackets must be confirmed secure before every use. The seat must be confirmed compatible with the specific toilet pan before prescription; rimless pan profiles may not provide adequate bracket purchase. Equipment records must note the product code and the resident's indication for CQC Regulation 12 compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should a raised toilet seat without armrests (this product) be selected versus a toilet frame with armrests (ID 299) or a seat aid with armrests (ID 298)?
The decision between a raised seat without armrests and a raised seat with armrests depends on the resident's rising mechanism and their need for upper limb support during toilet transfers. A raised seat without armrests is appropriate for residents who have sufficient lower limb strength to rise from a seated position with the height advantage the raise provides, but who do not need arm support; for these residents, the raised seat alone removes the hip flexion barrier without requiring any additional structure. Some residents with hip replacement restrictions need only the height adjustment for hip angle management and have adequate lower limb strength for rising from the raised height without pushing up from armrests. A raised seat with armrests is indicated when the resident requires upper limb contribution to the rising movement - where the lower limbs alone are insufficient for rising even from the raised height, or where trunk instability during the rising movement requires lateral armrest support. The occupational therapist's rising assessment on the specific toilet, at the specific height, determines whether the rise is achievable without armrests; if the resident cannot reliably rise from the 100mm raised height without armrests, a frame or seat aid with armrests must be prescribed instead of or in addition to the seat raise.
How is the bracket security checked before each use and what should trigger replacement?
The Easy-Fit bracket security check before each use involves: sitting position check - pressing down on the raised seat with both hands from a standing position before the resident sits, applying a downward force equivalent to the resident's body weight to confirm the seat remains stable and the brackets do not slip on the pan rim; and lateral stability check - applying a lateral force to the seat from each side while standing to confirm the seat does not rotate or shift sideways on the brackets. Both checks must confirm the seat is stable before the resident is asked to transfer onto it. Conditions that should trigger reassessment and potential replacement of the brackets or the seat include: visible damage to the rubber over-moulding (cracking, tearing, or compression deformation that has reduced the grip surface); any instance of bracket slippage observed during the checks; a change in the toilet pan, such as the pan being replaced or a cleaning product that has degraded the ceramic surface at the rim contact point reducing friction; or a change in the resident's body weight approaching or exceeding the seat's rated capacity. The Easy-Fit bracket system on the 100mm raised seat is designed for standard ceramic pan rims; any non-standard toilet installation (rimless, unusual materials, or a pan with a damaged rim) must be assessed before the seat is fitted and the care plan must document the pan compatibility assessment.
