Stay Active, Enjoy Life

Don’t let age or illness keep you from enjoying life. Home medical equipment manufacturers understand that you want to maintain an active lifestyle and they have introduced solutions that may be perfect for you or a loved one. Here are some exciting new products.

Travel Scooters: If you’re having problems walking or just can’t go long distances you can recapture your freedom with a lightweight travel scooter. These full size scooters can accommodate users up to 325 lbs. and yet offer tight space maneuverability with a compact size.  They can negotiate a narrow hallway and provide a stable outdoor performance. When you’re on the go, simply take it apart and stow it in the trunk. It quickly disassembles into five pieces with the heaviest piece weighing only 28 lbs.

Bath Lifts: Don’t give up on those warm soothing baths you enjoy or spend thousands of dollars on a walk-in tub. Bath Lifts are designed to give the user independence while bathing and fit into most standard tubs. Simply place the lightweight bath lift in the tub and enjoy. Press one button on the hand control and you will automatically be lowered into, or raised out of, the tub. Bath lifts are powered by sealed rechargeable batteries, so they’re completely safe and require no electricity to operate.

The Pollywog Wheelchair: Wheelchairs continue to get lighter but can still be bulky and hard to fold and stow. But not anymore. The innovative Pollywog can be used as both a standard wheelchair for self-propelling at home and a convenient transport wheelchair when going out.  With a push of a button, the large 24″ wheels can easily be removed to transform it into a lightweight transport chair with 8″ wheels. Then, simply fold down the backrest, remove the footrests and you’re ready to go with a compact wheelchair weighing only 18 lbs. It’s a portable and high-quality chair, with great flexibility for both user and caregiver.
