Mobile hygiene chairs

What Is a Toilet Trolley?

Toilet and hygiene trolleys are assistive medical devices designed for patients with mobility impairments, injuries, or disabilities that prevent them from independently using standard toilet facilities. These devices are also commonly used by the elderly and infirm, whether in home settings or professional care facilities.

A toilet trolley resembles a classic wheelchair but is specifically designed for sanitary use. It differs in terms of construction materials—typically waterproof, easy to clean, and suitable for disinfection—and features a specially designed seat that allows the user to meet basic physiological needs. In practice, toilet trolleys serve two main functions:

• Toilet use

• Shower use

They are suitable for private use as well as for hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and other medical institutions.

How to Choose a Toilet and Shower Trolley?

A wheeled toilet trolley should meet several criteria to ensure safe and comfortable use:

• Mobility and maneuverability: The trolley must allow for easy transport of the patient from bed to the bathroom. Wheels should be smooth and easy to steer, even in tight spaces. All models should have reliable brakes and locking mechanisms to ensure safety during transfers or while seated.

• Durability and hygiene: The frame should be made of stainless steel or powder-coated steel for resistance to corrosion, especially since these trolleys are frequently exposed to water during showering. Seats must be waterproof, easy to clean, and disinfectable. Most models include an opening in the seat for toileting, with a removable waste container positioned underneath.

• User-friendly adjustments: Look for trolleys with adjustable or removable armrests, footrests, and safety straps. These features facilitate transfers and improve user safety. Some advanced models allow seat and backrest angle adjustment for personalized positioning, which is particularly helpful for users with specific postural needs.
