Portable Toilet Cushion

Portable Toilet Cushion - open-source assistive technology concept by the TOM Israel community community

The challenge

Wheelchair users need pressure relief on toilets to avoid sores. Existing options are heavy, costly, or rigid. This lightweight, hygienic, open-source cushion fits standard toilets, giving portable, essential support.

Who it helps

This open-source padded toilet seat is designed for individuals with lower-body injuries and wheelchair users who are looking for a portable, lightweight, and comfortable solution that easily attaches to toilet seats both at home and on the go.

How it works

It offers a lightweight, portable design attached via suction cups to the seat or ceramic. The dual-layer foam combines a high-density base with memory foam to provide ergonomic support and pressure relief.
