Drive Medical Deluxe Steel Drop-Arm Commode

The Drive Medical Deluxe Steel Drop-Arm Commode is an essential, durable toileting aid designed to make safe, comfortable home care accessible for seniors, individuals recovering from surgery, and patients with limited mobility. Built with an innovative easy-release drop-arm mechanism, this bedside commode allows for smooth, unobstructed lateral transfers directly from a wheelchair, bed, or armchair, eliminating the dangerous strain of standing pivots.

Featuring a heavy-duty, powder-coated steel frame with an extra-wide 19.75-inch space between arms, this commode comfortably supports up to 300 lbs. The push-button, height-adjustable legs allow for precise custom fitting between 20 and 24 inches, while non-skid rubber tips keep the frame firmly anchored on any surface. Ideal for home health settings and caregiver convenience, it easily converts between a standalone bedside commode and a toilet support frame.
