The SedMed Toilet Lift Assist is a mobility product for the toilet. The product helps people who might struggle with getting on / off the toilet by slowly lowering users down and providing a natural, but effective boost to lift up to 80% of their body weight in raising off the toilet. The SedMed uses no electricity!

Yes, the SedMed is a very simple product. You simply sit against the seat, it slowly lowers you down, locks for safety, and when you are ready to get up, you pull the arm lever back to unlock it and it will help you stand up. Individuals who require extensive care, have cognitive issues/impairments, have extreme fall/balance risk, or are otherwise high risk should use the product with the support of someone else or not at all.

The product uses a gas spring (same thing commonly found porch screen doors, car trunks, and more) that is mechanically optimized with our patent-pending design to effectively raise and lower the body weight of individuals. There is no electricity required

Safety is at the core SedMed's design - some of our features:

• Sturdiness: The product is built with solid steel to feel as sturdy as possible. The product also mounts directly onto the toilet to feel as if it is a solid extension of the existing toilet base.
• Automatic lock: An automatic locking and release mechanism that gives way to only intentional lifts off the toilet. This lock also allows for users to release it so they can use both hands to get off the toilet
• Release lever: The locking release lever was designed in a location that is ergonomic / easy to access and yet not too easy to accidentally trigger a release. It was also designed to require enough force to operate such that it isn't too easy to accidentally release the lock, yet also not too difficult
• Gas spring: The gas spring speed and level of force/assistance were carefully selected to provide a natural and efficient lift on and off the toilet, while giving the users control of their experience
• The product was designed to be as compact as possible and to not touch the floor at all. This is not only so it can fit and more bathrooms and look aesthetically pleasing, but also so that there are less objects to catch people's clothes and induce potential tripping hazards
• An optional backrest was also included into the design (it is removable) to make sure users backs don't accidentally hit against the back of the toilet tank or pipe

The sturdy and stable design of the SedMed is easily mounted on the toilet, creating a natural extension rather than a stand alone and potentially wobbly product. The product's core innovation lies in its gas spring selection and linkage lift system design, which is a self-powered lifting and lowering system that is adjustable to a user's weight/comfort.

The function is to assist individuals with limited mobility or physical disabilities to safely and comfortably use the toilet. It is designed to raise and lower the user, providing greater accessibility and independence. The product aims to improve hygiene, reduce strain on caregivers, enhance privacy/independence, and improve overall quality of life

The product is accessible to individuals with diverse mobility needs or disabilities, requiring adequate force to lower themselves and the ability to operate the release handle. Individuals who require extensive care, have cognitive issues/impairments, have extreme fall/balance risk, or are otherwise high risk should use the product with the support of someone else or not at all.

The SedMed is versatile for healthcare facilities and home use, as long as the planned bathroom locations meet the space and toilet requirements. Almost all healthcare facility bathrooms are compatible with the SedMed. See our compatibility guide for further details.
