Clients with complex postural needs often cannot hold an upright sitting position long enough to be showered or toileted safely. The Ocean Dual VIP Ergo is a tilt in space shower commode that tilts the whole seat and reclines the backrest independently, so a carer can find a position the client can hold and then work around them.
Who it suits
It suits clients with limited trunk control, high tone, pain on movement or fatigue that builds through a personal care routine. Tilt keeps the hip angle intact and redistributes load towards the back, which helps a client stay put through washing and drying. The recline then opens the hip and trunk angle where that is needed for care access or comfort.
The frame is stainless steel, the back is machine washable and tension adjustable, and the modular design takes laterals, head support, belts and calf supports so the chair can be built to a seating prescription. The weight shift mechanism keeps the chair stable on a small footprint, which matters in a domestic bathroom.
