Rifton HTS pads are made from durable, waterproof, closed-cell foam, designed for easy removal and cleaning. With multiple pad options available, you can choose the one that best suits your client’s needs.
For clients who require maximum support and use the HTS for showering, the closed seat pad with no hole provides the most stability. On medium and large HTS models, this option comes with a rigid hole filler for the hard seat underneath, offering extra firmness.
The hole-in seat pad is designed with a narrower opening and a closed back, ideal for users who need additional support while toileting. This option was developed in response to customer requests for increased stability, and it can be also used in the shower, adding versatility.
The open-back seat pad is another option, providing easier access for hygiene care. This allows cleaning to be performed while the client is still seated and relaxed, before any transfers are made.
The soft seat pads feature an egg crate design underneath to reduce pressure points; and gentle contours on top for a softer, more comfortable seating experience. The larger hole and open-back design ensure optimal hygiene access.
By understanding the features of each HTS pad, you can confidently choose the best option to meet your client’s specific needs, ensuring both comfort and support.
