Bathing and using the toilet may seem like simple tasks to you, but for elderly individuals or those in recovery, these can be painful and exhausting activities. In some cases, they might go as long as two weeks without a bath.
This struggle is far from uncommon. On one hand, slippery floors and confined spaces in bathrooms pose serious safety risks, increasing the chances of falls and slips. On the other hand, the elderly or people in recovery often require assistance to bathe or use the restroom, which can lead them to forgo bathing or limit restroom use to avoid potential injury.
“Warm baths can effectively stimulate circulation and help relax muscles, which is particularly beneficial for those who are bedridden or have limited mobility,” says Frankie, a specialist in rehabilitative medicine. "For these individuals, warm water can reduce muscle stiffness, promote blood flow to the skin and limbs, and enhance overall comfort.” Additionally, maintaining regular toileting habits helps prevent issues like urinary tract infections and constipation-related complications, both crucial for long-term health.
To address these challenges, VOCIC, as a “home rehabilitation partner,” is committed to developing safer and more practical bathroom aids, enabling users to enjoy a sense of security and comfort akin to that found in professional rehab centers—all within the convenience of their own homes.

These offerings are just the beginning, as VOCIC continues to expand its selection of innovative bathroom safety products.
AX08 Electric Elderly Chair Lift Floor Lift
This highly anticipated product was inspired by a heartfelt story shared with the VOCIC team by one of our users about her mother’s struggles with bathing.

AX12 Electric Raised Toilet Seat
The VOCIC AX12 is an electric raised toilet seat designed specifically for seniors, individuals with disabilities, pregnant women, and those recovering from injuries. It is crafted to assist users in safely and effortlessly sitting down and standing up from the toilet, minimizing the risk of falls related to leg, back, or balance challenges, and ensuring a secure and comfortable bathroom experience.
“With the press of a button, the seat lifts up, allowing you to sit comfortably. Then, with another press, it gently lowers you onto the toilet with minimal effort,” shared Dewayne Dodd. “When you're finished, just press the button again, and it raises you right back up. It’s been a huge help with my mom’s pain.” Dodd explained that his mother, who is in hospice care and reliant on oxygen, struggles with mobility, and even basic actions like sitting and standing can leave her out of breath.
Besides, at the recent trade show in Germany, the AX12 Electric Raised Toilet Seat was met with enthusiastic feedback from numerous distributors and attendees. Many praised it as an "innovative" care product, noting that similar solutions are not yet available in their regions. They expressed high interest in seeing the AX12 available in their local markets soon.
AX19 Swivel Tub Transfer Bench
Compared to other swivel transfer benches on the market, the VOCIC team specifically designed the AX19 swivel tub transfer bench to address the common drawbacks of standard transfer benches, placing a stronger emphasis on safety and comfort. This ensures that individuals with limited mobility can manage personal care with greater ease and confidence.
The AX19 features an ergonomically molded polyurethane seat and backrest, offering exceptional comfort and simplifying cleaning and disinfection, making it an ideal hygienic solution for shower use. Unlike older bath chairs with cold, slippery, and rigid plastic surfaces, this bench provides a warm, comfortable, and non-slip experience. Its medical-grade closed-cell molded polyurethane padding is water-resistant, ensuring lasting durability and safety.
