Strength of Canadian Dollar Translates into Big Savings

A good portion of our pricing on ErgoCanada.com is based on the list price in US dollars direct from the manufacturer. With the recent increase in the strength of our dollar against the US dollar, many of the products on the site have been reduced in price, in some cases by as much as $25! Take this opportunity to stock up on products for your home or office workstation, or buy that product that was slightly out of reach of your budget.

Flextend Therapeutic Gloves

Work Comfort pictured with laptopFLEXTEND is used for the prevention and rehabilitation of carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive strain injuries of the upper extremities. Finger, hand and arm strength is quickly and naturally restored using FLEXTEND for just a few minutes each day. All FLEXTEND orders include an instructional video.

FLEXTEND helps provide relief from symptoms associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by exercising the extensor muscles in your forearm. A wide variety of specialized exercises for specific pains and injuries are suggested and explained in the manual and instructional video.

To insure you order the correct size, measure from the base of the hand (first wrist crease closest to palm) to the tip of the middle finger.

LP Now Comes with Fixed Tenting Mechanism

Laptop Accessories from Bakker-Elkhuizen!

ErgoCanada.com is excited to announce that we are now offerring the full line of laptop workstations by Bakker-Elkhuizen. The concept behind their accessories is simple:

  • offer variable elevation of the laptop screen so it can be raised to an optimal height and depth (distance from the user)
  • provide a built-in document holder (which rests on top of the laptop keyboard) and is immediately below the screen, eliminating the need to look from right to left - now the screen, documents and keyboard can all be in one vertical line, reducing undue head and neck motion
  • when used with a separate keyboard and mousing solution, you have a complete ergonomic workstation solution for the laptop, and can realize savings as there is no need to purchase a monitor as the laptop screen can now be used without discomfort

Two models of this innovative laptop workstation - document holder are available.

Ergo-Q - pictured above and at right, this unit is made of aluminum and folds up for easy transport.

Ergo-Top - pictured at left, this unit is made of durable transparent PMMA and allows you to secure the unit, mouse, keyboard and laptop with only one laptop lock.

A reduced footprint keyboard, the Q-Board, is also available.

For more information on this product, see our Laptop Products category in our Online Catalog.

Pictured at right is the LapTraveler RWHD, a heavy duty mobile desk with virtually unlimited flexibility for ergonomic positioning, and uses a gear lock (not an inferior quality friction lock) tilt and rotate mechanism at the base of the pedestal. The desktop has forward and backward tilt, as well as side to side tilt and is permanantly mounted to the pedestal. The LapTraveler RWHD Series Mobile Desk now comes with all three telescoping tubes: straight, 45º and 90º. The telescoping tubes are interchangeable, and provide maximum positioning flexibility.
