1998 – Medical Devices Agency:

• The Medical Devices Agency evaluated our HydroTilt chair by measuring the ischial interface pressures of 12 elderly able-bodied subjects
• The results of the HydroTilt were compared to the subjects’ ‘reference’ armchair
• The HydroTilt gave among the lowest interface pressures with a mean of 64.2 mmHg, compared to the ‘reference’ armchair’s mean of over 90 mmHg
