With the Support Station, even partially weight-bearing individuals can undergo hygiene care or a diaper change in an upright position – making the process more dignified, improving access to clothing and skin, and eliminating heavy lifting on the part of the caregiver.
With the Support Station, clients can assist in the sit-to-stand transfer, using their own strength and skills to participate in their care. Over time, adolescents and adults using the Support Station can actually improve their standing and toileting skills – paving the way for greater independence and better health.
Install the Rifton Support Station to use with a rolling commode or as a transfer aid to a stationary toilet.
**Non-Returnable Hygiene item!**
Features:
 |
Upright is Better
After a simple transfer, even a large, non-weight-bearing client is in a comfortable, more dignified and accessible position for hygiene care. |
 |
Fold for Storage
The Support Station folds up flat against the wall when not in use. |
 |
Easy to Clean
The Support Station's frame and upholstery include antimicrobial materials and are designed for thorough, easy cleaning. |
 |
Choose a pivot or fixed design
Without the kneeboard, the Support Station can pivot over a fixed toilet; with the kneeboard in place, it’s ideal for use with a rolling commode. |
 |
Adjustable Height and Tilt
The height and angle of the trunk board can be adjusted to accommodate a wide range of users with varying degrees of weight-bearing ability. |
 |
Ergonomic Arm Prompts
Hand slots, elbow curves, and optional handholds on the padded trunk board enable self-assisted transfers from a wheelchair – even for users with limited hand control. |
Two Choices
 |
Fixed Configuration
With the comfortable kneeboard in place for leverage, the user can remain in an upright, forward-leaning position for convenient clothing adjustment, hygiene care or transfer to a rolling commode or shower chair.
The user’s torso rests comfortably on the padded trunk board, with only as much weight-bearing through the legs as the user can comfortably tolerate. |
 |
Pivot Configuration
Installed without the kneeboard, the Support Station pivots to aid transfers from a wheelchair to a fixed commode. In the horizontal position, the padded trunk board can pivot 180°, enabling the user to safely move his or her feet in an arc and comfortably transfer to the commode.
