Open Front Toilet Seat


What kind of toilet do I need in order to have a split front seat?

I mean the kind of seat which doesn't form an oval, rather is open in the front.

A person with a colostomy (sack) wants this sort of seat, like they have in the hospital, because they can sit the sack down in front of them.

So maybe my question should be what type of toilets do they have in the hospital? My guess is that it is an elongated seat, elevated toilet.

Please advise and thank you.

Bemis 1955 OFLC for an elongated bowl. or a Bemis 955 OFLC for a round bowl will get you a solid plastic open front seat with no cover and stainless steel mounting hardware.

Re: Open Front Toilet Seat


Any elongated toilet can be ordered with a split seat. To purchase a 2 piece toilet there are 3 parts to it, the tank, the bowl and the seat. Just spec a split seat.

Thanks Killer Toilet. I'll check into the round seat. I'm a bit surprised I'm going to find one. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I see one on display in homedepot just the other day. To be honest i didnt really pay much attention to it as 99% of toilets are close coupled with split seats and oval pans in th UK.
