The Dignity Lifts XL1 bariatric toilet lift is crafted to support individuals weighing up to 650 lbs, promoting independent toilet use. This robust and reliable lift ensures safety and dignity, significantly aiding both users and their caregivers by simplifying the transition from sitting to standing positions.
Designed for stability, the XL1 features four wide feet and dual lifting actuators, enhancing both strength and reliability. It incorporates four parallel 4-bar linkages and provides a smooth, 26-second lift from a seated to a standing position. The lift operates with an easy-to-use wired remote and offers 9 inches of lift, fitting well with most home toilets.
The XL1 not only prevents bathroom falls—critical in environments with many hard surfaces—but also represents a cost-effective alternative to assisted living or full-time care, given its affordability compared to these options.
Before installation, it's essential to ensure that your bathroom space can accommodate the XL1, which requires at least 30 inches of width near the toilet. If space is tight, modifications or a different model might be necessary.
Installation is straightforward: replace your current toilet seat with the XL1. Though it weighs 90 pounds and is quite sturdy once installed, installation help is available if needed. Ensure that it is plugged into a GFI circuit to maintain safety in moist bathroom conditions.
Considering a Dignity Lift like the XL1 can be a prudent decision if you're starting to use a walker or experiencing difficulty standing from a seated position. It's an empowering tool for those wishing to maintain independence and stay in their homes longer.
