¶ Introduction
Toilet seat risers mount on top of the toilet bowl and vary in how they are fastened. Some have a knob at the front which secures it to the bowl. Some also include small legs which go to the floor to help distribute some of the load and provide stability.
Toilet seat risers which do not have supporting legs may be prone to popping off if the user applies significant pressure to only one side of the riser.
Toilet seat risers may have a small opening, which may make positioning onto it difficult. They may become soiled, depending on how the patient is sitting on it.
