Helab Produktion AB, www.helab.se sells a similar product, a soft oval toilet seat intended for use on a toilet or on a separate raised toilet seat. The toilet seat is made of polyester with a vapor barrier and is placed on top of the seat ring with the lid raised (last checked May 2011).
In Stockholm, the County Council pays for the toilet seat. It is recommended by Rehab Station Stockholm's wound team; contact person: Madeleine Stenius.
