Amfibi Hygiene chair
Supreme comfort and minimal strain!
Amfibi Hygiene chair The advantage of GATE hygiene chairs is that they can be quickly adapted to suit the needs of every individual and situation. Adjust seat height manually, electrically or by gas; angle the seat with the tilt function and customize it with accessories. Designed to meet needs Amfibi has a unique pillar design for quick and easy seat height adjustment. There is a choice of manual, gas or electric adjustment to suit various needs. Amfibi fits most people no matter how tall, and personnel will not need to waste time and energy looking for a suitable hygiene chair for each situation. Everyday life improved And it goes without saying that Amfibi never compromises with user comfort and personnel ergonomics. Individually adaptable comfort and function makes the hygiene chair a much more pleasant experience for patient and healthcare staff alike. Amfibi is manufactured from corrosion-proof materials and its electronics/gas pistons can withstand high pressure water (IP66). 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. A unique Amfibi feature is the spinal release back panel that relieves pressure on bony areas. It is easily adjustable for best support and seat depth. Soft cushions for shoulder blades provide increased comfort. Which model suits your needs? A broad selection of models makes possible the creation of a complete fleet of hygiene chairs. Because all Amfibi versions 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. There are five different models. The two standard models have height-adjustable seats with manual or gas adjustment. The two Tilt models include a tilt function and are available with gas or electric adjustment. Amfibi is also available in XL for the larger, heavier patient.
