Support Mattresses
Pressure ulcers, or bed sores, are a common problem and concern for patients who spend long periods of time in bed.
A variety of mattresses and mattress overlays are available to both treat and prevent bed sores.
Ask your doctor or home care equipment provider for more information. These important products are
normally covered by Medicare and most private insurance.
Over-Bed Tables, Patient Lifts and
Trapeze Bars
The proper
equipment can give both patients and care
givers increased independence.
Over-bed tables are used not only for
eating and working, but also to keep other
items such as eye glasses or drinking
water easily accessible.
Patient
Lifts allow the caregivers an easier way
to lift the patient from the bed into a
wheelchair or tub. The unique
6-point cradle works with a wide array of
slings, both 4-point and 2-point.
Trapeze bars give some patients increased
independence by allowing them to adjust
their position in bed. They can sit
up and get in and out of bed with less or
no assistance.
