A boy sits on a Rifton Hygiene & Toileting System while his caregiver smiles at him.

Time and again, research has shown the necessity of good toileting for children’s health, so we updated the HTS with that in mind.

This adaptive equipment for toileting supports toilet training for special needs with features that improve comfort, positioning, and caregiver access.

Hygienic, simple, and affordable, the new and improved HTS components promote the positioning that is ideal and natural for effective toileting. As a hygiene toileting system, the HTS functions as an adaptive toilet seat, a mobile toileting chair, and a special needs toilet chair for home, school, or clinic use. This toileting system line is designed for real-world routines.

*When the mobile base is in the lowest position and the footboard is fully extended, it may prevent the front casters from swiveling. In this case, either change the footboard angle or raise the seat height to give the casters room to swivel.

**To achieve 15˚ of forward tilt for ease of transfer, order the tilt angle converter, Z169 $47.00. (The range of adjustment will be 15˚ back and 15˚ forward. See reference charts above.)

***The maximum working load for the large HTS foot board is 150 lb.
