Independence in the bathroom is often the difference between a client managing at home and needing a carer for every shower. The Ocean Ergo self propelling model carries large rear wheels with handrims, so a client with reasonable upper limb function can move themselves to the shower, over the toilet and back without waiting for assistance.
The contoured seat encourages a more upright, stable sitting position, and the optimised wheelbase is set to fit over a standard toilet so the same chair covers showering and toileting. Armrests and footrests swing away and adjust for height, which keeps transfers clear on both sides. The back is machine washable and tension adjustable, the frame is stainless steel, and the chair comes apart without tools for transport or storage.
