Treatment tables
client lies face down with his/her face
in an opening of the face support. You
obviously know that patients do not like
this. The opening is not exactly comfortable and - no matter what you do - they
will always doubt the hygiene. Wouldn’t
it be great if you could continue to work
without all these 'side effects'? A relaxed
patient, unconsciously working together
with you, makes the treatment more
pleasant and more effective on your
part too.
After brainstorming with users and
designers, my task was clear: develop
a removable face support without
the traditional seams that is soft and
comfortable, and above all easy to
clean. We tested various hand-cut foam
models in different shapes. This resulted
in a 3D print prototype that was then
further developed with physical therapy
practices. In all of this, finding the right
material was still the greatest challenge.
In the end, we opted for an extremely
soft variation of polyurethane memory
foam with a closed surface. The results
were great: the Ergomax face support.
Ergomax advantages

marks on the face
Hygiene

feel for every new patient
No more pressure marks, very easy

Ergomax is a typical Gymna
innovation that has proven its
worth in everyday practice.
