SWAN
The Swan is a classic commode from R82. The seat is made of fibre glass and the
frame of powdercoated and stainless steel respectively, which means the Swan
is also splendid as a bathing chair.
The Swan has been especially developed by R82 after many years of experience
designing and manufacturing custom-made aids for disabled children and adults.
The ergonomic design of the chair and its many functions and features offer the
user and the caregiver the highest possible standards of comfort and safety.
The Swan glides over most toilets, or it can be equipped with a commode pan.
The Swan is available in 6 different sizes with an extensive range of accessories.
The seat tilts 45° and the legs are height adjustable so that the seat can be adjusted
17 cm in height.
