M2 El-Tip Shower, Toilet & Commode Chair User Instructions August 2011 Introduction to the M2 El-Tip Shower, Toilet & Commode Chair The M2 El-Tip Shower, Toilet and Commode chair has been designed to provide definitive positioning and postural management for those who are unable to maintain their body posture and require extra support when showering or toileting. The M2 El-Tip has a battery-operated tilt-in-space facility. The tilt-in-space feature enables the occupant to be tilted forwards or backwards in the chair whilst maintaining the position of the knees and hips to achieve optimal support for showering and toileting. Tilting the body has the effect of distributing weight over a larger contact surface area providing a simple way to combat the build up of pressure as well as preventing the occupant slumping and sliding into an uncomfortable position, particularly when being hoisted into the chair. Manufactured from quality stainless steel with moulded polyurethane upholstery to ensure easy cleaning and disinfection, the M2 El-Tip is the ultimate shower, toilet and commode chair. Why is there a need for this type of chair? The ability of a seated person to function efficiently and perform activities depends on their ability to adopt the appropriate posture. All activity is posture dependent. If a person cannot move or has problems adjusting their posture, it may be necessary to use seating to try to provide externally what is limited internally. The principles of good seating are equally applicable to showering, toileting and commode chairs as they are to general seating. Whether looking for basic shower stools, practical shower, toileting and commode chairs that help to maintain independence or dynamic, postural support shower, toileting and commode chairs for assisted bathing, the Kirton H20 collection can accommodate both user and carer needs.
