Aquatec ERGO Dual VIP Shower Chair

Introducing the ERGO DualVIP tilt-in-space with recline shower commode chair. A new and more ergonomic design encourages a more upright and stable seating position. A new tilt motion shifts the center of gravity without the use of a gas cylinder. Moving downward and forward, the tilt motion makes the movement smoother and reduces the overall footprint of the chair without affecting stability. This also results in reduced tilt force for the caregiver and an increased tilt range of -5° to 40°. The reduced footprint allows easy maneuvering in tight spaces and lets the chair get closer to the wall to better position the seat opening over a toilet.

Highlights

• Recline and tilt-in-space positioning
• Contoured, ergonomic seat plate
• Flexible design
• Weight shifting tilt

The reclining back achieves a 5° to 35° angle using the release handle mounted on the push bar.

The seat plate has a 5° pre-tilt or lift at the knee for a more natural squat position for toileting. Additionally, the new shape of the seat plate is based on the imprint left behind while seated (see pressure mapping diagram). This reduces pressure on genitals and bony prominences. Optional overlays add cushion depth, reduce commode openings, or create a solid seat for showering. Transfer supports at the front of the seat allow the user to position themselves more comfortably for toileting and/or showering.

ERGO shower chairs are manufactured from corrosion-free stainless steel. An improved caster design reduces dirt collection in the axle area. The collection pan rail holds the pan closer to avoid splatters. The pan has volume markings inside, and a convenient hook on the handle holds the lid when not in use. The chair can be cleaned in an autoclave at 80°-90°C. Cleaning instructions are noted in the manual.

The ERGO DualVIP seat is height adjustable from 18.5" to 23.4", and armrests can be adjusted from 8.3", 9.8", to 11.3" from the seat. The head support is height adjustable with a turn of a knob. An optional head support tube offers additional length. Footrests are height adjustable from 12.4" to 18.2" from the seat. The foot plate has adjustable fabric heel loops, and the plate is angle adjustable. The machine-washable, coated-nylon upholstery has five straps to adjust for tautness or more slack to increase seat depth.
