Is this urinal usable for women who are sitting up in a wheelchair?

I don't think so it mainly used for people in bed. I never tried it with someone in a wheel chair . A lot would depend on the size of the person as well someone heavy you would have a more difficult time

it would be difficult but possible depending on how far you could lean back in your chair.

Yes. Have a pad under you. There will be leeks always. I used it in bed mostly and always had accidents. Being awake you might become more skillful then I was. Being desperate for answers in this area I think it is worth a try. You can manage it yourself without help. That is better than a bedpan. It makes it worth a try.

...sitting up in a wheelchair - It really depends on the individual. The urinal is contoured to a women's body; mostly and more easily used in bed. The handle holds the urinal in place and prevent leakage. Sitting upright at 90* would prevent a proper fit and cause more accidents. However if your able to recline the upper body and extend the pelvic forward; which mimics the same position, and then you could use the urinal. - Keep clothing in mind as well. (I'm also in a wheelchair and have used the urinal both in bed and sitting in my chair; although more difficult but possible to use when sitting up, its easier in bed.) Hope this is helpful - Good Luck! ...sitting up in a wheelchair - It really depends on the individual. The urinal is contoured to a women's body; mostly and more easily used in bed.

I haven't tested it in a wheelchair, but after buying two of them and trying them in several different kinds of chairs, I would think that the sling-type seat in a wheelchair wouldn't support this device securely enough to make it reliable. It needs to remain securely cradled in a chair (works great, for example, in soft chairs with arms--recliners, for example).

Probably not. I wouldn't use it in this way - but then I wouldn't try to do that with a wheelchair!!!

If you want to sit close to the floor and maybe shave your legs this would work fine... But I wouldn't use it for a disabled person. I would think if I was shaving my legs and was sitting in the tub ... I would buy two of these because you can stretch your legs out more.

I don't think so. It doesn't seem to have a super heavy lining for urine. I don't think it's supposed to be used for that.

I think that if care is taken to dry off and also lubricate moving metal parts it could be used for that. A PVC shower commode wheelchair would probably be better suited.

The seat is solid and clips down on the frame so can be used as a wheelchair. When you lift it off it is a commode with a "bucket" that is slid in underneath from the rear. My mom took a shower every other day so the chair rolled well into our showere and the commode was great.

A normal wheelchair, yes, but I would seek another solution. This is not well made.

It's not a problem. The footrests meet in the middle with only a small gap. I've experienced that with the regular wheelchairs. She should be comfortable with this model.

This urinal can be used in a reclining position. I can't respond regarding the issue of tremors. However, given the design, I don't think it should be a problem.

Yes. When you get the package the handle will be separate. You will need to slide it into the slot on the top of the main urinal container.

Yes. it should be fine. Just be sure that the wheelchair seat is big enough for the cushion as it is rather large.

I don't have a wheelchair to compare it too. Although, I believe that it would if the wheelchair isn't really wide.......I love this computer desk for my laptop.

I am a male, but I would believe a female could simply adjust position on the toilet to accommodate all areas. As far as health and safety goes (moving between one area and the other), I can not answer with authority.

It mounts on the axle bolt and uses the wheel frame for bracing and support. Don't know exactly what your wheelchair looks like but I doubt that it would work.

I use this bag to store my urinal and other personal items when I go out. I also travel with it. I greatly recommend it, it is light wight and made of a durable fabric. I don't know about using it as medical supply in a bathroom? It is made for the back of a wheelchair with the two straps hang in each handle.

I don't believe this would be an effective exercise apparatus for those who use a wheelchair. This pole is too long. I suggest the Body Blade. It is much shorter and would work for someone who uses a wheelchair because it would not hit the floor the way this item would. The body blade is more expensive but so worth it.
