THE
FACTS
CHAMELEON. SHOWER - & COMMODE -
THE
CHAIR THAT ADAPTS TO THE NEEDS OF THE USER
Chameleon • Easily assembled and dismantled without tools • Weighs only 9,9 kg (21,8 lb.) suitcase included • Passes through a standard-width toilet door • Height-adjustable • Discreet design, looks like a normal chair • Constructed in environmentally sound materials: Aluminium & recyclable plastics • A chair which meets most needs, on holiday, business trips and on family visits
Padded seat which offers both support and comfort and completely conceals the commode function
To travel is to live.... For people with a mobility problem, however, it has till now been difficult to enjoy holidays, visits to friends and family as well as business travel, because very few buildings are constructed in such a way as to allow wheelchair users access through standard bathroom- & toilet doors. This has led to humiliating situations with commode chairs being used in corridors, holidays confined to accessible hotels, etc. More importantly, many have given up going on holiday and on family visits altogether in order to avoid trouble and embarrassing situations in connection with their personal hygiene. Chameleon is the first Shower-& Commode Chair developed specifically for travelling. The fact that it comes with its own suitcase makes it the perfect travel companion.
Height-adjustable armrests
Comfortable, moulded toilet seat
Passing through a standard-width toilet door With its maximum width of just 54 cm (21”), Chameleon easily passes through a standard-width toilet door. The height of the seat can be adjusted to suit the needs of the user as well as the height of the toilet bowl at the destination. It is also suited for showering.
Holder for sponge bag
Construction in special aluminium profiles secures a sturdy frame combined with low weight
Height-adjustable legs for adjusting Chameleon to the height of the user and that of the toilet bowl
18“ pneumatic rear wheels can be fitted, making it easier for a helper to push the user, e.g. from the hotel room to the restaurant and enable some users to propel themselves
Legs with rubber sockets allow for use as a stationary chair when at home
Travel light Chameleon was developed to meet wheelchair users’ need for having just one chair, which is equally suited for use at home and “on the road”. It is therefore easy to dismantle without tools and pack into its own suitcase. The chair and the suitcase - conform with the maximum measurements for cabin luggage on commercial aircraft and weigh no more than 9,9 kg (21,8 lb.). Discreet and flexible Chameleon is designed as a modular system, allowing the user to adapt to changing needs; from a shower & commode chair to a lightweight transport chair. Furthermore, for reasons of discretion it was deliberately designed in such a way that the padded seat makes it look like other lightweight chairs. Like this, nobody will suspect that the chair can also be used for the personal hygiene. For private users as well as nursing homes Chameleon is ideal both for the busy wheelchair user, who often travels privately and on business, as well as for nursing homes, where the residents need access to a flexible solution to the problems connected to the personal hygiene when visiting their family or going on vacation.
