Product Overview
The Etac Hi-Loo Angled Toilet Seat with Arm Supports is a specialised bathroom support aid designed to improve comfort, safety, and independence for individuals with limited hip or knee mobility. Its forward-tilted seat angle makes it easier for users to sit down and stand up, reducing pressure on the joints and lowering the physical effort required during everyday toilet use. This makes it particularly suitable for elderly users, those recovering from surgery, or anyone experiencing stiffness, weakness, or reduced flexibility in the lower body. The discreet, practical design allows it to fit naturally into both home and professional care environments.
Angled Ergonomic Seat Design
A defining feature of this model is its angled seat configuration, which measures approximately 10 cm at the rear and 6 cm at the front. This gentle forward slope encourages a more natural standing motion and helps shift body weight forward, making transfers smoother and less strenuous. The ergonomic shaping promotes better posture while seated and reduces stress on the hips, knees, and lower back. This design supports greater independence and can significantly decrease the level of assistance required from caregivers.
Secure Fixed Mounting
The Hi-Loo Angled toilet seat is equipped with a fixed mounting system that ensures a strong, stable connection to the toilet bowl. This secure attachment minimises movement and provides reassurance for users who rely on consistent support when transferring on and off the seat. Stability is essential for safety, and the fixed fitting helps create a confident and dependable bathroom experience for users with mobility challenges.
Supportive Foldable Armrests
Integrated arm supports provide additional assistance and balance when sitting or standing. These armrests are foldable for convenience and can be locked in the down position when maximum stability is needed. This dual-function design allows users to adapt the support level to their personal preference or physical requirements. The arm supports are constructed from durable polypropylene combined with powder-coated steel tubing, offering a strong yet comfortable grip surface that withstands regular daily use.
Easy Detachment and Hygiene
Maintaining cleanliness is simple thanks to the snap-lock detachment mechanism. The seat can be removed quickly without complex tools, making routine cleaning fast and efficient. This feature is particularly valuable in shared bathrooms or care settings where hygiene standards are critical. The smooth polypropylene surface is moisture-resistant and easy to wipe clean with standard bathroom disinfectants, helping to maintain a sanitary environment with minimal effort.
Durable Construction and Weight Capacity
The seat unit is manufactured from high-quality polypropylene, chosen for its strength, lightweight properties, and resistance to humidity. This robust material ensures long-term reliability while remaining comfortable for everyday use. The Hi-Loo Angled supports a maximum user weight of 150 kg, providing dependable stability for a wide range of individuals. Its durable construction makes it suitable for both short-term rehabilitation and permanent accessibility support.

For added peace of mind, the Etac Hi-Loo Angled Toilet Seat with Arm Supports is supplied with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty and an estimated 10-year service life.
