Designed for safety and independence in the bathroom, Assist
features secure, built-in support arms and a residential
appearance
SHEBOYGAN FALLS, Wis., April 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bemis Manufacturing Company, a
leading bidet and toilet seat manufacturer, announced
the Assist premium standard height toilet seat that
provides independence and safety in the bathroom for people with
physical challenges. It solves the common problem of needing
to install wall-mounted brackets when people need extra support
using the bathroom. The sleek-looking Assist is part of the Bemis
Independence line and has built-in support arms that replace the
need for mounted brackets near the toilet in a residential home.
First launched at the 2023 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show and a
winner of a 2023 Kitchen & Bath Business (KBB) Product Award,
Assist is now widely available.
Every year, 36 million adults fall in the bathroom due to
slippery and wet floors, loose bath mats, inadequate lighting, or
the lack of proper support. Seniors may grab towel bars or toilet
paper for support, but these aren't designed with the strength and
stability to support an adult's weight. Wall-mounted rails near the
toilet may be helpful, but they can't be counted on to provide the
ergonomically correct hand placement that helps with sitting and
standing.
Unlike traditional bathroom aids, the Assist doesn't compromise
on the bathroom's aesthetics. It is designed to blend seamlessly
with any decor and features sleek lines, ensuring that safety and
style go hand in hand. The seat supports up to 500 pounds, with
each arm separately holding up to 250 pounds, even if the weight is
distributed unevenly. The arms offer reliable support for sitting
down and standing up, eliminating the need for wall-mounted
brackets. The Assist seat is not only easy to install but also
guaranteed never to loosen, ensuring ongoing stability and security
credited to Bemis's STAY•TITE Installation System.
"Our goal with the Assist Premium Toilet Seat is to provide a
solution that enhances the independence of our customers,
particularly the aging population and those with special needs. It
is designed to be easily installed in homes," said T.J.
Stiefvater, vice president of Marketing for Bemis. "We believe that
everyone deserves to feel safe and secure in their own bathrooms,
and Assist is a step towards that independence."
The Bemis Assist toilet seat is available
at Amazon, Home Depot, and other online retailers.
