Abstract
A raised superimposed toilet seat is adapted to fit on a conventional toilet seat and is contoured to particularly meet the needs of patients who have undergone unilateral or bilateral total hip replacement procedures. The seat is contoured so that when the patient is seated thereon, the patient's legs are kept adducted in the proper position, ensuring that the patient's hips are placed with the proper amount of hip flexion and abduction to prevent hip dislocation.
