Alerta ALT-1200 Transfer and Commode Chair
To successfully orchestrate the safe transfer of patients with mobility limitations and significantly reducing accidents, the Alerta ALT-1200 Transfer and Commode Chair is an essential investment for hospitals, nursing and care home environments. Designed to be easily operated by carers, this chair features four solid steel swivel castors, as well as arm and foot rests to maximise your patient's comfort and security over longer periods. With a discreet commode hidden beneath the seat, patients can quickly use the toilet without the worry of making it to a bathroom in time.
What's Included?
What Is A Transfer and Commode Chair?
A transfer chair is a lightweight mobility aid that is similar to a wheelchair. Wheelchairs, however, have large enough wheels for the user to reach so that they can push themselves around. Transfer chairs have smaller wheels and are designed to be pushed from behind rather than controlled by the user.
A commode chair is a chair which can also be used as a toilet, and can either be stationary or moveable.
Who Can Use the ALT-1200 Chair?
The Transfer and Commode Chair is ideal for hospital, nursing, and care-home environments. It's ideal for patients with limited mobility, and those who have less control over their bladder or bowels. The chair reduces the time and effort needed for seat-to-seat transfers, allowing quicker and easier access to a commode for those who need it.
As this chair cannot be manoeuvred by the user, it is not suitable for use as a wheelchair or an independently controlled mobility aid.

- First, remove the black PVC cushion. Then, remove the grey bucket from the seat and bucket frame.
