Drive Bariatric Aluminum Rehab Shower Commode Chair - NRS185008

The Drive bariatric shower commode is Drive Medical's NRS185008 attendant chair for homes in Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. Drive rates the rust-resistant aluminum frame at 500 lb (227 kg). Four 5 inch (13 cm) locking casters carry it.

This is the wide attendant chair in Drive's aluminum rehab line, not the 275 lb NRS185007 and not a 24 inch self-propel chair. Overall width on Drive's sheet is 26 inches (66 cm).

Who this bariatric shower commode is for

This chair is for a person who needs Drive's 500 lb (227 kg) rating and a 22 inch (56 cm) wide padded seat a caregiver can roll over a standard toilet, into a shower, or to the bedside bucket. Families here usually call when the 18 inch NRS185007 is too narrow.

Drive prints padded flip-back armrests and a seat opening for perineal access. That is Drive's sentence, not a diagnosis. Westin does not give medical advice.

• Attendant: 5 inch (13 cm) locking casters, 26 inch (66 cm) overall width
• 500 lb (227 kg) rust-resistant aluminum
• Seat to floor 20.5-22.4 in (52-57 cm)

Wheels and who pushes it

Drive prints 5 inch locking casters. The sheet photo and the feature line are small casters at the corners. There is no 24 inch handrim on NRS185008. A caregiver pushes the chair. Lock the casters before a transfer.

The 24 inch self-propel SKU in this aluminum rehab idea is Drive NRS185006 at 275 lb, which Westin does not list as a chair. Do not order NRS185008 if you were named self-propel 24 inch wheels.

Over the toilet and in the shower

Drive prints that NRS185008 can be positioned over a standard toilet, used as a portable self-contained commode, or used as a shower chair. Drive does not print a clearance height or an inside width. Measure the bowl against the 26 inch (66 cm) chair in a Brampton or Toronto store.

Drive prints swing-away detachable footrests with height and angle adjustments, an easy-to-empty commode bucket, and tool-free assembly. The spare 5 inch caster-and-leg Drive lists for this chair is the NRS185006-08 Caster with Leg.
