The Linton Plus toilet seat’s raised design makes sitting and standing from the toilet easier, with less strain
on the user’s joints. The cut-out seat design makes personal cleansing easier and distributes pressure
more evenly away from the coccyx. The seat is adjustable and fixes securely to standard shaped toilets.
