Etac Tripp Tilt Shower Commode Chair
Product Overview
The Etac Tripp Tilt Shower Commode Chair is designed for users who need reliable support, controlled positioning, and improved comfort during personal hygiene routines. Built with a specialist tilt-in-space system, this chair provides safe and secure tilting from 0° to 35°, allowing caregivers to achieve the right angle for posture, stability, and relaxation without unnecessary strain. Whether used during showering or toileting, the Tripp Tilt helps maintain a safe, efficient routine that benefits both the user and the caregiver.
This chair is especially suitable for individuals with reduced trunk control, limited mobility, or those who need extended support to remain stable during daily care tasks. The ability to gently tilt the user back helps distribute weight, reduce pressure, and promote a more natural and relaxed position. This makes hygiene routines not only more comfortable but also significantly safer, particularly in environments where movement can be challenging or unpredictable.
Designed with a slim, compact profile, the Tripp Tilt excels in environments where space is a luxury. Bathrooms, wet rooms, and care facilities often come with tight corners and narrow pathways, making manoeuvrability a key consideration. The compact frame of the Tripp Tilt allows caregivers to navigate these spaces smoothly, helping them position the chair exactly where it needs to be without unnecessary lifting, repositioning, or awkward adjustments.
One of the standout features of the Etac Tripp Tilt is its gas-assisted tilt function. Caregivers can operate the tilt from either side of the chair, giving them the freedom to work in whichever space is available. This dual-side access keeps routines moving efficiently and prevents the caregiver from needing to reposition themselves mid-task. The tilt motion itself is steady and controlled, ensuring that the user feels secure and supported throughout the movement.
The seating area includes a rear-open design that offers excellent access for personal care. This thoughtful feature makes cleaning easier and more thorough, reducing strain on the caregiver and improving dignity and comfort for the user. Whether showering or toileting, the open rear allows for a more practical and hygienic process.
To support safe transfers, the chair is equipped with swing-away armrests that move out of the way when needed. This provides more room for lateral transfers and reduces the chances of the user catching or bumping themselves on the frame. The footrests are also adjustable and swing away to improve accessibility and comfort for users of varying heights. These features are especially helpful in professional care environments where ease of access and smooth transitions are essential.
Height adjustability is another key advantage of the Tripp Tilt. Bathrooms and toilets come in all kinds of sizes and setups, so having a chair that can adapt to different heights makes a world of difference. Adjusting the chair ensures proper alignment over toilets, accommodates transfer equipment, and improves overall positioning without forcing caregivers to improvise or compensate with unsafe movements.
Safety is a core principle of the Tripp Tilt’s design. The chair includes four lockable castors that keep it completely still when needed. Once locked, the wheels stay firmly in place, preventing unwanted movement during transfers or cleaning. This adds another layer of confidence for both the user and the caregiver, especially in slippery wet room environments.
Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant materials, the Etac Tripp Tilt is designed to thrive in high-moisture environments and withstand frequent cleaning. Its smooth, non-absorbent surfaces make disinfecting quick and easy, supporting hygiene standards in both home and professional care settings. This robust build quality ensures long-term reliability, giving caregivers and users confidence that the chair will continue performing day after day without deterioration.
Whether used at home or within a healthcare facility, the Etac Tripp Tilt Shower Commode Chair stands out as a dependable, flexible, and user-centred solution. Its combination of comfort, control, easy operation, and long-lasting durability makes it a smart choice for anyone who requires a high-quality tilting hygiene chair that adapts to a range of care needs.
