The Tripp Tiltable Pediatric Shower Commode Chair by Etac is a dual-purposed bathroom aid that is perfect for children, teens, and young adults living with special needs who require assistance when attending to personal hygiene needs. The most desirable feature of this device is its tilt mechanism that utilizes ergonomics to correctly lean the chair to a safe 35-degree angle; the tilt is operated from the left side of the device. The tilting feature evenly redistribute the user's body weight to provide pressure relief and superb comfort.
The standard base model comes with a removable splash guard, pan holder, and height adjustable footrest. This can be used in showers and over the top of household toilets. The seat width is 15-inches (38-cm) and the backrest is 23-inches (58-cm) tall. There are optional add-ons that enhance the bathing experience. Such additions include a commode pan and the commode pan lock which holds the pail in place while the shower chair is tilted. The commode pan slides perfectly into the seat. A positioning belt is also known as a chest harness strap that secures any child or young adult user with weakened trunk muscles.
There are two seat cushions which differ in size. The soft pad is thinner than the soft seat cushion. They both have anti-slip properties and reflect heat. There is a soft back pad that is heat-reflecting as well. A back cushion reduces the seat depth by 2.25-inches and provides a large water-proof cushion for the users back. A crossbar is available for lateral support. A head support is height adjustable and is recommended for taller users.
