Wheelchairs and Toilets


Those of us who do not require a wheelchair to get around probably never consider how cumbersome it is for people in wheelchairs to use the toilet, whether in the home or in a public restroom. It is a complicated process involving several steps.

First one must get alongside the toilet and apply the brake. Next remove the armrest and transfer to the toilet seat. Move the chair in order to swing the legs around. When ready to leave, transfer back onto the wheelchair and release the brake.

The whole thing would be made easier if there was an automatic toilet flusher. Technical Concepts has solved the problem with several types of sensor-operated autoflushers for restroom and tank style toilets. The Tank Style, wall-mounted Autoflusher senses the movement away and flushes the toilet It also assures that the toilet is always flushed and presentable. This system promotes hygiene by eliminating cross-contamination from handle touching and preventing odors from unflushed fixtures.

Public urinals and toilets can install Autoflushers for the same reasons.
