The Hero Medical Extra Wide Over Toilet Aid is a powder-coated aluminium frame that sits over a standard toilet, lifting the seating height and placing fixed armrests either side so that sitting and standing require less hip and knee effort. What separates it from the standard model is width: 53 cm between the armrests within a 63 cm overall frame, giving larger-bodied users room to settle and to push up without the arms getting in the way. Seat height adjusts from 41 to 54 cm to match the toilet pan and the user's leg length, and the moulded seat carries a removable splash guard that lifts out for cleaning. Non-slip rubber tips keep the frame steady on tiles, and the safe working load is 205 kg.

The pairing of a 53 cm span between the armrests with a 205 kg safe working load makes this a sensible choice wherever a standard over toilet aid is simply too narrow to be comfortable or safe. The height adjustment means one frame can suit different bathrooms, and at 4 kg a carer or family member can move it aside for cleaning without difficulty.
