Indents (or cutouts) on a shower commode seat are designed primarily to improve hygiene access for both the user and caregivers. These modifications play a crucial role in maintaining cleanliness, reducing infection risks, and ensuring comfort during toileting and washing.

How Indents Improve Hygiene Access

• Easier Personal Cleaning – Indents provide better access to intimate areas, making personal hygiene more effective and thorough. This is particularly important for individuals with limited mobility who may require assistance.
• Facilitates Caregiver Support – The cutout design allows caregivers to cleanse more efficiently without unnecessary repositioning, ensuring dignity and comfort for the user.
• Reduces Skin Irritation & Infection Risk – By allowing better cleaning access, indents help prevent the buildup of moisture, bacteria, and waste, reducing the risk of skin breakdown and infections.
• Enhances Comfort & Functionality – A well-placed indent can help ensure a proper seated position, reducing pressure points while still allowing unobstructed access for washing.

If a custom cutout seat is required, it must be clearly stated on the order under CR136 to ensure the correct specifications are met.
