A new and more ergonomic design promotes a more upright and stable seating position. The seat plate has a 5° pre-tilt or lift at the knee, allowing for a natural, squatting position during toileting. The new shape of the seat plate is based on the seated imprint (refer to pressure mapping diagram), effectively reducing pressure on genitals and bony prominences. Optional overlays offer increased cushion depth, reduced commode openings, or create a solid seat for showering. Transfer supports at the front of the seat enable users to position themselves more comfortably for toileting and/or showering. Although the seat dimensions remain unchanged, the back is now wider to accommodate larger users, with an increased weight capacity of 400 lbs.

ERGO shower chairs are manufactured from corrosion-free stainless steel. An improved caster design minimizes dirt collection in the axle area. The collection pan rail keeps the pan closer to prevent splatters. The pan includes volume markings inside and a convenient hook on the handle for lid storage. The chair is autoclave-cleanable at 80°-90°C, with cleaning instructions provided in the manual.
The ERGO seat is height adjustable from 18.5" to 23.4", with armrests adjustable at 8.3"/9.8"/11.3" from the seat. Height-adjustable footrests range from 12.4" to 18.2" from the seat, featuring adjustable fabric heel loops and an angle-adjustable plate. The machine-washable coated-nylon upholstery includes multiple straps to adjust for tightness or increase seat depth. The chair can be disassembled for travel or storage.
