The International Chiropractors Association Endorses ergoSEET™ Technology
INDIANAPOLIS , Indiana (November 1, 2009) The International Chiropractors Association announced today its endorsement of the new ergoSEET Technology from SEETtek, LLC. The endorsement was given after extensive product testing by the International Chiropractors Association's Posture Committee.SEETtek, based in Carmel , Indiana , has developed the patented/trademark protected technology for use within the seating and portable bedding sectors. The company's name (SEET) is actually an acronym for; Seating. Ergonomic. Efficient. Technology.
The ergoSEET's patented air flow technology is the key to its benefits. Increased air flow keeps the seating surface cooler in warm temperatures, warmer in cool temperatures and reduces skin perspiration. In field testing, the ergoSEET kept indoor seating temperatures over ten degrees cooler on average. This cooling benefit can be of significant importance, especially to those confined to long-periods of seating, on surfaces which are not breathable. These seating situations could include offices, cars, wheelchairs, church pews, etc. The warming benefits from the ergoSEET technology will be especially appreciated by those who find themselves in cold, damp, outdoor seating situations. These include sporting events, camping, hunting, fishing, etc.
The ergoSEET's unique “ports and pillar” design offers excellent shock absorbency and also assists blood flow by evenly distributing body weight. The increased blood flow and reduced pressure points offered by the ergoSEET technology not only adds to its comfort, but are critical issues for those with circulation problems. In testing, the ergoSEET reduced wheelchair seating surface pressure by over 30 percent, while also enhancing “skin-breathing.” These benefits recently led Clarian Health, a leading healthcare provider, to purchase 1,500 ergoSEETs for use in their facilities. The benefits from this comfortable, yet shock absorbent technology, will be important to those whose lower back & spine may be aggravated by hard-seating surfaces. These might include - churches, folding chairs, athletic bleachers and bathing.
Additional benefits of the ergoSEET include a proprietary closed-cell structure which makes it completely waterproof and resistant to odors. The durable, removable cover is designed to wick away moisture and is fully washable. The ergoSEET is also highly portable. The seat measures 15” by 15” and is packaged in a clear plastic zippered bag with convenient shoulder straps.The ergoSEET is being shipped to health-wellness retailers nationwide in Fall 2009/Spring 2010. These retailers include select Walgreens, CVS, Meijer Stores, amazon.com – among others. “ ICA thoroughly evaluated the ergoSEET, finding it an excellent seating surface to help reduce fatigue and discomfort and promote better sitting posture. ICA strongly encourages Chiropractors to recommend this enhanced seating product to their patients." -- Joseph Betz , DC , FICA, Chairman ICA Technique and Posture Committee
