Product Information

ErgoKneeler™

Stockcode:

The ErgoKneeler™ is a kneeling system that can provide comfort, support and ease of movement for people such as nurses, midwives, podiatrists, orthotists, therapists, care workers and educational staff who undertake tasks at a low level. It can assist the user in managing the postural stressing associated with kneeling, helping to reduce the cumulative strain and promote musculoskeletal health.

Moulded in polyurethane foam with active antibacterial properties, the ergonomic design alleviates the compression forces and postural discomfort associated with low working positions and promotes good spinal posture. Designed by a Chartered Physiotherapist and Back Care Adviser, the ErgoKneeler™ is the result of collaborative working with Spectrum Healthcare (UK) Ltd and The Design Unit, De Montfort University, Leicester.

Our evacuation aids facilitate the swift movement of individuals needing assistance during an emergency, ensuring they reach a safe area quickly. They are designed with a focus on patient comfort and security, as well as the safety of the operators.
Our ‘Ski’ range has been utilised in notable evacuations, including the Royal Marsden Hospital fire in 2008. During this incident, staff successfully evacuated over 40 patients from the fourth floor on their mattresses using our Ski Sheets.
