Portable Toilet for Disability & Aged Care
More dignity for the user. Less handling for the carer.
The Laveo DryFlush is a battery-powered waterless portable toilet for older people, people living with disability and their carers. It twists and seals waste after each flush, with no water, chemicals or plumbing and no pan or holding tank to empty. Maximum user weight is 225 kg, and NDIS quotations are available.

Included consumables starter pack: two refill cartridges (bags), with one pre-installed in the toilet and the other packed in the box, plus one bottle of Pee Powder. The toilet package also includes a removable 12V 7Ah AGM battery, battery cable, Australian 240V battery charger and user manual.
Each refill cartridge provides up to 15 flushes. With Pee Powder and multiple urine-only uses between flushes, one refill can provide up to 60 uses.
For a care quotation, contact our Australian team. Funding and payment arrangements depend on your provider or plan.
Maximum-use example: up to three urine-only visits with Pee Powder, followed by one bowel movement and an immediate powered flush. Flush after every bowel movement and sooner if needed. Waste volume, paper and flushing habits affect yield.
Prices in Australian dollars (AUD). Current product prices apply.
How DryFlush works
1. Sit and use the toilet as normal.
2. Press the flush button. The liner twists and seals the waste, then brings a fresh section into place.
3. Change the refill after 15 flushes, or sooner if it reaches the replacement line.
Daily care includes cleaning the seat and outer surfaces, checking the refill and keeping the battery charged. Follow the Australian user manual for cleaning, refill replacement and charging. Do not charge the battery while it is connected to the toilet.
Optional accessories
Adjustable & Foldable Toilet Safety Frame: an optional aluminium support frame with a maximum user weight of 136 kg. This is a separate limit from the toilet's 225 kg capacity.
Floor Tray & Lift Kit: raises the toilet by 75 mm. Consider the user's preferred seat height, foot support and ability to sit down and stand up. The standard seat height is 430 mm; overall height with the lid closed is 464 mm. Ask our Australian team about any additional measurements needed for your setup.

Will this toilet suit the person and their space?
Check the footprint: the toilet measures 407 mm wide by 508 mm deep and 464 mm high overall. Allow additional space for access, any support frame and assistance from a carer. Seat height is 430 mm; overall height with the lid closed is 464 mm. Ask our team for any additional seat dimensions needed for your setup.

Individual suitability and safe transfers should be considered with the person's health professional or OT where needed. Facilities must follow their own infection-control and waste-handling procedures.
Frequently asked questions
White Laveo DryFlush
Included consumables starter pack: two refill cartridges (bags), with one pre-installed in the toilet and the other packed in the box, plus one bottle of Pee Powder. The toilet package also includes a removable 12V 7Ah AGM battery, battery cable, Australian 240V battery charger and user manual.
The Laveo can be positioned beside a bed or in another suitable location when reaching a bathroom is difficult. Individual needs, safe transfers and the available space should be considered before use. Where mobility or transfer support is required, an OT or other health professional can help assess whether the setup is suitable.
Each flush twists and seals waste inside the refill liner, so there is no liquid waste tank or commode pan to empty. This can reduce some of the manual handling associated with a traditional commode. Routine cleaning, refill replacement and appropriate waste handling are still part of normal use.
A traditional bedside commode usually requires a removable pan that must be emptied and cleaned. The Laveo uses a twist-and-seal refill system to contain waste after flushing. It does not require water, plumbing or a liquid waste holding tank, but it does require a charged battery and DryFlush refill cartridges.
Yes. The Laveo is a self-contained toilet that does not require plumbing or a water connection, so it can be positioned in a suitable bedroom or other private space. The available floor space, ventilation, safe access and the user's ability to transfer onto the toilet should be considered.
No. The Laveo does not require a water connection, plumbing or a traditional dump point. It uses a rechargeable 12V battery and DryFlush refill cartridges to contain waste. The sealed waste still needs to be handled and disposed of according to applicable waste-handling requirements.
At the press of a button, the liner twists to contain waste and pulls down a fresh section. Each cartridge provides up to 15 powered flushes. A use is one toilet visit; a flush is one powered bagging cycle.
With Pee Powder, up to 60 uses per cartridge is possible under the maximum-use sequence: up to three urine-only visits followed by one bowel movement and an immediate powered flush, repeated across 15 cycles. Flush after every bowel movement and sooner if needed. Waste volume, toilet paper and flushing habits affect yield; replace at the warning line or earlier if full. This is a maximum, not a typical or guaranteed result.
Facilities must follow their own infection-control and waste-handling procedures.
The Laveo may be considered as assistive technology where it is related to a participant's disability, supports their goals and represents value for money. Funding is determined individually by the participant and the NDIA. We can provide a quotation and invoice for self-managed or plan-managed purchases and can work with an OT, support coordinator or plan manager where required.
Consider the user's ability to safely transfer onto and off the toilet, available space, seating height, positioning, access for carers and how waste will be handled. Individual suitability can vary, so an OT or other appropriate health professional can help assess the person's needs and the proposed setup. Care facilities should also follow their applicable infection-control and waste-handling procedures.
