The R82 Heron is a paediatric shower commode chair with tilt-in-space, back recline and gas-strut height adjustment, for children and teenagers who need postural support during toileting and showering. Seat height adjusts from 510 to 780 mm, tilt runs from -5 to +25 degrees and the back reclines from -10 to +30 degrees. The chair is rated to 100 kg and weighs 28 kg.
It works three ways: freestanding with a commode pan, rolled over a standard toilet, or in the shower. Four lockable castors keep it stable for transfers. The moulded seat has a cut-out and pressure-mapped padding and is machine washable at 85 degrees.

Who it suits
Children and young people with cerebral palsy, neuromuscular conditions or complex physical disability who cannot sit unsupported and need tilt to manage tone, fatigue or positioning during hygiene routines. Height adjustment brings the child up to carer working height, which reduces bending for parents and support workers. Supplied for home, school and respite settings.
