A guide to which shower commodes include calf supports, and the optional accessories available for user comfort and support.
Table of Contents
Standard Inclusions: Calf Supports
Calf supports are now included as standard on all tilt-in-space and tilt-and-recline shower commodes. These supports enhance comfort and stability for users during tilting, especially when legs are elevated or repositioned.
This default inclusion reflects an ongoing focus on user safety and pressure care during hygiene routines, particularly for individuals who remain seated for longer durations or require tilt functionality.
Optional Customisation
While calf supports are not standard on all models, they are available as an optional add-on across the broader shower commode range. This allows users and prescribers to tailor the equipment to specific comfort or clinical needs.
If a standard commode doesn’t include them, calf supports can be added to match the level of support provided by more complex models.
Additional Options: Calf Straps and Panels
In addition to structured calf supports, there are several strap and panel options that provide soft, breathable alternatives:
- Bodypoint Aeromesh Shower Chair Calf Support
- Calf Support Strap
- Aeromesh Padded Calf Panel
These accessories offer secure yet gentle leg positioning, ideal for users who prefer softer contact or require specific strap-based support.
Each of these options is designed to work with most shower commode frames, offering flexibility in setup and user-centred comfort.
