The Locksafe Commode aims to provide improved safety when transferring patients from a commode to a toilet, or from a bed to a commode. Existing devices used to perform this task can be cumbersome and can present a safety risk to patients (if the device is not properly secured in position) and staff (as they may need to bend awkwardly to secure
the device).
The Locksafe Commode will reduce the safety risk for
staff and patients by offering a more user-friendly and stable alternative to traditional devices. The user-friendly nature of the Locksafe Commode may also save time and make the procedure more acceptable for patients.
