Rifton HTS Hygiene and Toileting System
SIZE OPTIONS: SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE
Healthier for children.
Simpler for you.
Time and again, research has shown the necessity of good toileting for children’s health. So we designed the HTS with that in mind. Hygienic, simple and affordable, the HTS promotes the positioning that is ideal and natural for effective toileting. Meanwhile its versatility and simplicity – usable on, over and off the toilet, no tools required – make the lives of caregivers better too.

After my first trial with the Rifton HTS I am very impressed. The degree of support it provides while at the same time allowing for growth in all dimensions is fabulous. I love that the tilting mechanism is infinite and so easy to adjust. Changing seats from mobile to stationary to tub base is incredibly easy. And my clients love how comfortable the padded anterior support tray is. This will now be my go-to commode of choice. Rifton has done it again!"

Benefits
The unique design of the optional seat pad opening – open to the rear for larger clients – facilitates clear access for cleaning and hygiene.
The portability kit provides clients with greater independence – and their families greater freedom to travel.
Optional molded foam pads for the back and seat provide comfort for clients and easy disinfecting for caregivers.
Optional gas-assisted tilt-in-space enables the HTS to tilt 5˚ forward for easier transfer and better toileting position, as well as 25˚ back for showering and hair washing.
On. Over. Off. No matter what your toileting situation or special need, the HTS can meet it with its unmatched versatility:
ON the toilet, attached with mounting bars
OVER the toilet, attached to a mobile or stationary economy base
OFF the toilet with a mobile or stationary base and commode pan
Features
Ideal for any child, any toilet, anywhere

As a shower chair. By doubling as a mobile shower chair the HTS eliminates the need to purchase separate equipment for each activity. The optional tilt-in-space model tilts up to 25˚ back; the backrest tilts up to 18˚ back; and the headrest is adjustable to provide the ideal showering position for clients of every size, shape and ability.
Supportive and comfortable
The maximum support and comfort are provided by the tilt-in-space base option. Its gas-assisted cylinder tilts up to 5˚ forward for easier transfer, as well as 25˚ back for showering and hair washing.
Additional support is provided by the adjustable backrest (6˚ forward for proper toileting position, 6˚ back and 18˚ back to assist with showering and hair washing).
Grows with the child (or multiple children)
Which chair is larger?
Surprise: the two chairs in the photo are exactly the same size. One is adjusted to its smallest setting to accommodate a 5-year-old, the other at its largest setting fits an 11-year-old. The HTS fits a wide range of sizes, body types and special needs, allowing room for growth over time or use by multiple children.
Adjust the height. One frame accommodates both small and medium seats to allow for children’s growth. Height adjusts from 15'' – 21½''. Separate frame for large seat.
Adjust the seat depth. The seat depth on the HTS adjusts in 1'' increments to fit the child. Overall depth ranges from 8'' on the small HTS to 17½'' on the large model.
Adjust the backrest. The backrest can be adjusted 6˚ forward (for proper toileting position), 6˚ back and 18˚ back (to assist with showering and hair washing).
Easier lifts and transfers
Lifts and transfers present a major challenge to successful toileting. The HTS makes them easier with a variety of features. Sit-to-stand transfers in and out of the chair provide good practice and strengthening for clients.
The durable footboard also enables step-pivot transfers from the front. The weight capacity of the footboard is 150 lbs for all sizes of the HTS. 
Lateral transfers are simpler as well thanks to the removable armrests.
No tools required
Like all our products, the HTS is exceptionally easy to assemble, adjust and disassemble. All adjustments levers and buttons are blue. So look for blue whenever you are trying to adjust the chair.

*When the mobile base is in the lowest position and the footboard is fully extended, it may prevent the front casters from swiveling. In this case, either change the footboard angle or raise the seat height to give the casters room to swivel.
**To achieve 15˚ of forward tilt for ease of transfer, order the tilt angle converter, Z169 $47.00. (The range of adjustment will be 15˚ back and 15˚ forward. See reference charts above.)
***The maximum working load for the large HTS foot board is 150 lb.
