Commodes are not a new invention. As a matter of fact, they have been around way before most indoor bathrooms! Commodes are primarily designed to be used in the room of patient and by people with limited mobility and those who may have trouble getting to the bathroom in a hurry, at night or when they are sick. Many times it’s the hurrying to the bathroom that can be the cause of the fall or injury. These commodes can be used in almost any room and are easy to store when they are not needed. They can also be used in tubs and showers. They are available in many sizes, styles and designs. Talk to the experts at Brevard Medical Equipment today.
