RAZ SP Self-Propelled Height Adjustable Shower Commode Chair for Postural and Toilet Support

A defining feature of the RAZ SP is its highly adjustable configuration, enabling the chair to be tailored to suit the user’s specific postural requirements and the layout of the bathroom. This multi-adjustable design includes seat height options between 500mm and 600mm, allowing therapists, carers or users to choose the most suitable height for safe transfers and efficient functionality. Alongside height adjustment, the chair offers seat depth options of 410mm or 480mm, enabling a more personalised fit that accommodates different leg lengths, supports pelvic stability and promotes a balanced sitting posture. The inclusion of the innovative IPAS (Ischial Pelvic Alignment System) elevates the adjustability even further, providing the ability to adjust the commode aperture and seat depth with precision. This is especially valuable for users whose posture may shift due to muscle tone differences, spinal curvature or progressive conditions, ensuring long-term comfort and correct positioning. The IPAS system ensures that pelvic alignment can be fine-tuned to optimise support, reducing the risk of users sliding forward, experiencing discomfort or adopting unsafe postures during showering and toileting routines.

The RAZ SP also includes the AdjustaBack tension-adjustable backrest, a feature that offers tailored spinal support through adjustable fabric straps that can be tightened or loosened to meet the user’s contours. This provides improved trunk stability, enhances comfort for longer sitting periods and supports users with kyphosis, asymmetry or fluctuating muscle tone. The backrest is available in two height options—430mm (optional) or 500mm (standard)—providing the flexibility to match the user’s needs without compromising upper body support. The flip-up padded armrests are another key part of the chair’s thoughtful design, offering additional comfort while still allowing clear lateral access for side transfers, repositioning or personal care tasks. These padded arms also provide a secure grip for users who rely on their arms to stabilise themselves during movement. The chair frame includes side access as standard, an important advantage for environments that require frequent side entry or where the user benefits from alternative positioning options during transfers.

For movement and manual propulsion, the RAZ SP features self-propel wheels designed to offer a smooth, controlled experience for users who wish to maintain more active involvement in their daily routines. These wheels are paired with 125mm dual-locking castors, fitted at the front to keep the chair safely in place when stationary, showering, transferring or toileting. These castors not only lock the wheel rotation but also lock the swivel action, improving overall stability on wet surfaces. The chair provides generous space with an overall width of 670mm on the 450mm seat width model, while a wide range of seat width options—400mm, 450mm, 500mm, 550mm and 610mm—ensures it can be configured to suit different body shapes and support requirements. The width between armrest pads is 470mm, creating a comfortable distance for most users, and the substantial safe working load of 185kg highlights the chair’s strength and suitability for a broad range of individuals.

The RAZ SP is also designed with toilet compatibility in mind, featuring detailed clearance measurements to ensure effective alignment over a variety of bowl shapes and installations. Without pan brackets, the chair offers toilet bowl clearances of 450mm, 470mm, 500mm, 530mm or 550mm, while with pan brackets, the clearances adjust to 420mm, 440mm, 470mm, 500mm or 520mm, making the chair adaptable to many different bathroom setups. The forward and backward seat adjustment—up to 50mm—and 20mm lateral adjustment allow further flexibility for precise positioning, helping carers achieve the exact alignment required for safe and efficient toileting. Lateral trunk supports (available separately) can be adjusted to suit users with reduced trunk stability, offering a 0–60mm offset range and a 330–460mm trunk width capability, alongside 50mm vertical adjustment, 25mm forward/backward movement, and a ±5° pad angle, allowing highly personalised support.

Foot support is equally configurable, with standard footplates offering an adjustment range of 410–520mm, which can be extended to 460–570mm with additional footrest extensions. For more specialised needs, MFX footplate options provide ranges of 200–300mm (N721) or 300–410mm (N722). This level of adjustment helps meet the unique requirements of different leg lengths and ensures feet are always properly supported, reducing pressure, strain and the risk of sliding. The chair’s overall depth is 760mm without footplates and 1000mm with footplates, providing a compact yet accommodating footprint suited to both larger wet rooms and more confined bathrooms. As with all RAZ Rehab Shower Commode Chairs, the RAZ SP places a strong emphasis on comfort, ease of use and long-term functionality. Each chair is supplied with an ultra-soft moulded commode seat as standard, designed to reduce pressure around the aperture and improve overall comfort during extended sitting.
