Custom Padded Designs and Bridging Systems Gallery
Duramed Designs has developed several different types of custom padded toilet seat designs and bridging systems to accommodate any requirement. Here is a collection of some past custom projects. These examples show solutions to some challenging cases.

Unique Bridge
This client transferred to the center pad from a wheelchair with the help of a floor to ceiling pole.
Confined Space
The power chair had only enough room to park beside the bench. The bridge also provided access to the raised toilet seat.

Extra wide flaps for an Aquatec reclining bath lift
