Description
We invented and realized an innovative device to help elderly or disabled people to enter and exit the bathtub.
IdroERCOLE® is a device made with special materials and techniques, a water-powered cushion which allows the elderly, the partially disabled, the overweight or obese people (up to 135 Kg), pregnant women and people suffering arthritis to settle on the bottom of the bathtub and then to float effortlessly to the surface.
