ergoCentric Seating Systems was founded in 1990 specifically to manufacture ergonomic seating. Since then, the ergoCentric team has been continuously improving its seating systems and is dedicated to designing and manufacturing the best ergonomic seating in the world. Where other manufacturers’ “one size fits all” seating philosophies fall short, ergoCentric’s build-to-order, modular manufacturing process allows us fit 100% of the workforce.
Our focus on productivity and injury reduction is a natural fit for the healthcare industry, and early in its history ergoCentric began working with hospitals, clinics, and medical offices. The healthcare industry has a diverse and aging workforce and employees are asked to perform unique and demanding tasks. ergoCentric’s patented ergonomic features and high level of customizability meets the ergonomic requirements of the largest healthcare organizations.
healtHcentric, a division of ergoCentric, is singularly focused on designing hygienic, cleanable healthcare furniture for clinical spaces. All too often, furniture is chosen based on aesthetics over function, and not enough thought is given to performance and cleanability. Unfortunately, these products often break down too quickly and require repair or replacement, costing hospitals valuable time and money. Driving value to our customers, the core of healtHcentric’s innovative designs are cleanability and durability.
Stools and chairs in hospitals and other clinical environments must be upholstered in coated fabrics that can be cleaned and disinfected with hospital grade disinfectants. Unfortunately, these coated abrics can be slippery, which reduces comfort as you slide forward away from the back support and may lead to falls and injuries.
heatlHcentric’s proprietary Frixion medical grade upholstery is specially designed to provide ergonomic benefits and prevent falls. It helps the user stay in place and not slide forward on the chair as they sit, improving comfort and increasing the ability to engage with the lumbar support.
Frixion is easy to clean and disinfect, ensuring a hygienic seating surface for healthcare workers and patients. Ideal for use in clinical areas of hospitals, clinics, and labs.
Frixion is GREENGUARD® Gold Certified, for low chemical emissions.
healtHcentric works closely with our customers to develop innovative products that make sense for the healthcare industry. Most furniture manufacturers use existing and common designs in their products. healtHcentric, however, consults with customers to develop innovative and practical solutions. For example, our Aloe Sleeper was developed at the request of and in collaboration with a large hospital system. Most sleeper chairs on the market utilize a large scissor-like mechanism which allows it to convert from a chair to a bed. This mechanism can be damaged and then is very difficult to operate, resulting in injuries to nursing staff. This led us to develop the Aloe Sleeper. With minimal mechanical parts, its intuitive design and easy handling means anyone can open and close it without instruction or assistance. Simple to clean, Aloe Sleeper Chairs are constructed from one solid piece of metal, reducing the need for maintenance and repairs. This type of customer collaboration has led to our success and our ability to deliver innovative, thoughtful products. Allow us the opportunity to collaborate with your facility today.
