The Homecraft Raised Toilet Seat with Armrests fits onto an existing toilet pan to raise the seating height and add armrests, reducing the distance and the effort involved in sitting down and standing up again. A moulded plastic base carries lift-up ABS armrests on a steel frame, giving the user something firm to push up from while still allowing the arms to be lifted clear for a side transfer. Three fixed seat heights add 6 cm, 10 cm or 15 cm, and the cross bars adjust in width for each seat position. The manufacturer notes that the correct height lets the feet rest flat on the floor with the hip joint higher than the knee joint, keeping both joints from bending past 90 degrees during recovery from replacement surgery. The lid is removable for cleaning and the seat may be wiped with disinfectant.

Height and armrests address the two hardest parts of using a toilet without help, namely lowering the body the last short distance and pushing back up again. Three fixed heights in the one product mean the same unit can be set to the user rather than ordered in a fixed size, and the armrests lift out of the way so that a side transfer remains possible.
