The HTS Hygiene and Toileting System by Rifton promotes the forward positioning that is ideal and natural for effective toileting. The HTS is usable on, over and off the toilet, no tools required, making the lives of caregivers better too.

Support and comfort, according to research, are essential to good toileting in children with special needs. For this reason, we have paid close attention to designing components that give children a sense of safety, security and support.

The maximum support and comfort are provided by the tilt-in-space base option. Its gas-assisted cylinder tilts up to 5 degrees forward for easier transfer, as well as 25 degrees back for showering and hair washing. For those who still need 15 degrees of forward tilt, an optional tilt angle converter (Z169) is available.

The Rifton HTS is one of the most affordable toileting systems available today which makes it an extraordinary value. On top of that, you can configure the Rifton HTS in a myriad of ways to fit your clients and your budget.

Options range from the basic model, with seat, back, base and armrests to the fully accessorized version, with seat and back pads, headrest, butterfly harness, anterior support/tray, lateral supports, hip guides, commode pan, deflector, abductor, ankle straps, calf support and footboard.

The IGMT is a good choice for pools with automatic covers and moveable floors, for in-ground spas with bench seats, and for pool/spa combinations. The Model IGMT has no parts in the water except when the seat descends. The 360 seat turn allows good access from anywhere on the deck.

The IGMT is available with two seat configurations -- pictured is the Front-Facing Seat -- a good choice for in-ground spas and pool combinations and spas with seats. The Side-Facing Seat is a good choice for in-ground pools. Specify seat configuration when ordering.

Riftons modular, practical bathing system that is height adjustable. Order a stand, and use the Bath Chair in the tub or for a shower.
