Description
The Medline G1-303DWX1 is a painted-steel drop-arm commode on four locking casters, for bedside toileting or use around a toilet. The arms drop for a side transfer, the back bar comes off for over-toilet positioning, and the chair is rated 300 lb (136 kg).
What does it do and how does it work?
- Frame: painted steel on four 3 in (7.6 cm) casters, all locking.
- Drop arms: lower the arm on the transfer side to open the chair.
- Back: a removable back bar for over-toilet positioning.
- Seat: a clip-on seat and lid, with a pail that lifts out.
- Height: the seat top sets from 17.5 to 21.5 in (44 to 55 cm); set all four legs to the same height.
- Size: 23.5 in (60 cm) overall width, 17.5 in (44 cm) between the arms, 16.5 in (42 cm) seat depth.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- It suits someone who needs a commode beside the bed or over the toilet and can transfer from the side.
- Choose a stationary commode if wheels are not needed.
- Choose a shower commode if the chair must go into the shower.
Will it fit?
- Measure the doorway and the space beside the bed against the 23.5 in (60 cm) overall width.
- The arms leave 17.5 in (44 cm) between them; check the person's hip width and the transfer side.
- Seat height sets from 17.5 to 21.5 in (44 to 55 cm) and seat depth is 16.5 in (42 cm).
- Over a toilet, remove the back bar and measure the bowl opening; the frame must clear it.
- A free home assessment can record the doorway, bed and toilet.
Using it day to day
- Lock all four casters before the person sits down or stands up.
- Lower only the arm on the transfer side, once the chair is in place and locked.
- Remove the back bar for over-toilet use; the seat and lid clip on, and the pail lifts out.
- Do not stand on the chair.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- It carries 300 lb (136 kg).
- It is painted steel, not a shower chair; use a shower-specific commode for washing.
- No footrests are part of this chair.
- Limited warranty for as long as the original purchaser uses it; see the Warranty tab.
- Bathroom safety items are non-returnable once used, so measure first.
How does it compare?
- The Drive 11101W is a wheeled drop-arm commode with padded arms.
- The Drive 11114KD is an aluminum shower commode with casters.
- A stationary commode is lighter and cheaper where wheels are not needed.

Frequently asked questions
Can it be used in the shower?
No. It is painted steel and not built as a shower chair; use a shower commode instead.
Do the seat and pail come out?
Yes. The seat and lid clip on, and the pail lifts out for emptying and cleaning.
Will it fit over my toilet?
Remove the back bar and measure the bowl opening against the frame. There is no fixed bowl clearance to rely on.
