Best possible comfort Users often sit in a chair for a long while when washing or taking a shower, and this can become very trying. Amfibi was created to provide extremely high comfort. The seated Amfibi user is able to assume a position for the best possible comfort. The hygiene chair quickly adapts to a personal fit with the aid of easily operated settings, and all models are height-adjustable. The Amfibi s seat and back are adapted for an upright posture that does not close the pelvis. The ergonomic design minimizes pressure on the hips, tendons and blood vessels, while its rounded front edge contributes to a comfortable leg position.

Which model suits your needs? A broad selection of models makes possible the creation of a complete fleet of hygiene chairs. Because all models are suitable for most users regardless of their height or weight, the number of chairs and types of chair can be reduced allowing the addition of one or two more advanced models for demanding care situations. GATE hygiene chairs are available in three different versions. Amfibi Double is our most advanced, versatile hygiene chair; it is adjustable in height and tilt angle of inclination. Amfibi XL was designed for the bigger, heavier patient, while Basic is our simplest version. 3
