McKesson Raised Toilet Seat with Removable Arms - 5" Height
McKesson® 5-Inch Raised Toilet Seat with Removable Padded Arms
5-Inch Elevation Boost, Tool-Free Worm-Screw Front Lock, Removable Foam-Padded Armrests, Heavy-Duty Molded Plastic, and Universal Fit
Lowering onto a standard low toilet seat and pushing up to stand can place intense stress on healing hips, painful knees, and weak lower joints. For individuals recovering from total hip replacement, knee surgery, or managing mobility limitations, standard toilet heights create significant fall risks and transfer difficulty. The McKesson® 5-Inch Raised Toilet Seat with Removable Arms adds 5 inches of essential height, drastically reducing the range of motion required to sit down and stand up independently.
Designed for versatile compatibility, this elevated riser fits cleanly onto most standard round and elongated toilet bowls without requiring permanent plumbing modifications. It features a heavy-duty front-clamping worm-screw lock mechanism that tightens securely to the bowl lip to eliminate shifting or slipping during lateral transfers. The metal side armrests are padded with soft foam to provide firm leverage when standing, and they can be detached tool-free to accommodate narrow bathroom spaces or facilitate side transfers.

Bath Safety Specialist Insight: The front-clamp worm-screw lock is a crucial safety feature that prevents the riser from tilting when weight is shifted to one side. If space around the toilet is tight or if the user requires a slide transfer from a wheelchair, simply depress the release pins on one or both armrests to remove them in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need tools or professional plumbing installation to fit this seat?
A: No. The seat installs in minutes without tools. Place the seat directly onto the toilet bowl rim and turn the front worm-screw knob until the clamp holds firmly against the bowl.
Q: Do I need to remove my existing toilet seat to use this riser?
A: In most setups, you can leave your existing seat and lid lifted in the upright position and mount this raised seat directly onto the porcelain bowl rim.
Q: Can the padded armrests be removed individually?
A: Yes. Each metal armrest features a quick-release push-button lock. You can remove one arm for lateral slide transfers or remove both arms if space between the toilet and vanity is restricted.
