1 Home medical equipment and supplies In addition to our wide selection of equipment and supplies, we offer expert assistance to help you or your loved ones find the right products for security, independence and comfort at home.

2 Mobility Bathroom Safety Our large selection helps mobility-impaired individuals maintain their independence. These easy additions can make difficult-to-use areas of your bathroom more accessible. Scooters Walkers Rollators Crutches Adjustable Canes, Quad Canes and more Transport Chairs and Wheelchairs Wheelchair Ramps Grab Bars Transfer Benches Elevated Toilet Seats Bath and Shower Chairs Door Walkers Never lock the bathroom door. You could prevent help from reaching you. They are NOT one size fits all. In order to accurately recommend the right walker for you, we will need your height and weight. Floor Rollators To determine the correct seat height, sit on the seat with your back to the backrest. Your feet should both be flat on the ground with your thighs resting comfortably on the seat. Make sure you can sit comfortably between the handles. Hosiery + Wound Care Dressing changes can be quick and easy with these high-performance supplies. Paper Tape Cloth Surgical Tape Xeroform Petroleum Gauze Zinc Oxide Surgical Sponges Hibiclens Skin Cleanser Butterfly Closures Duoderm Dressing Telfa Non-Stick Pads Packing Strips Compression Hosiery 2 Planning and proper safety products will allow you to confidently use your bathroom in comfort and privacy. When choosing the right products for your well-being and overall safety, consider these areas: Place slip-resistant rugs near the shower, tub or sink. Immediately mop a wet floor. Sink Install a grab bar nearby. Never grab a towel rack for support. Toilet Use a raised toilet seat for seating assistance as well as support arms or grab bars. Shower or Bath Tub Use a bath or transfer bench with a hand-held shower for seating. Install a tub grab bar or wall grab bar for assistance entering and exiting the bathing area. Place a non-skid mat or adhesive strips for the tub or shower floor. 3
