ABSTRACT:
A seating device is disclosed for use with a water closet to aid a patient in recovering from a rectum operation such as a colostomy operation or the like. The device is suitable for use with a conventional water closet comprising a bowl having an upper terminating ring. The improvement comprises seat means being positionable above the terminating ring of the bowl for providing a seating surface. The seating surface includes a first support extending around the terminating ring of the bowl in a conventional manner. The invention comprises a second support portion extending across the bowl to substantially cover the back region of the bowl to support the area of incision of the patient. The device may comprise a resilient pillow or a plastic member for positioning on a conventional water closet seat. In the alternative, the device may be permanently mounted to replace the conventional water closet seat. The foregoing abstract is merely a resume of one general application, is not a complete discussion of all principles of operation or applications, and is not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the claimed subject matter.
