An Introduction to Home Medical Products

Whether you are experiencing it firsthand or are watching someone close to you go through it, living with a debilitating medical condition is painful in a number of ways. Not only do the physical limitations infringe on tasks that were once easy to accomplish, but the loss of dignity and independence is also equally difficult.

When in the midst of a hopeless and discouraging situation like this, people look for solutions to make daily life easier and more comfortable however they can. Fortunately, there are several ways that patients today can experience healing at home. By purchasing or renting the proper home medical equipment, recovering can be a healing process rather than a stressful one. Here are a few home medical products that are helping countless people throughout the country live, despite their condition, a more comfortable and healthy lifestyle.

Wheelchairs
Debatably one of the most recognized and widely used pieces of medical equipment is the wheelchair. A wheelchair or a chair with specialized wheels allow for smooth and safe movement while seated,  serve a vital role for those who have impaired mobility. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and movement methods, depending on the patient’s preferences and specific needs.

CPAP Machines
CPAP Machines are an exceptional treatment option when it comes to making obstructive sleep apnea manageable. This is a potentially serious sleeping disorder which causes breathing to frequently stop and start while one is asleep. A CPAP machine uses a hose and a mask to deliver constant and steady air pressure to the patient in order for sleep to be safer and more peaceful.

Oxygen Therapy
Certain medical conditions, such as asthma, congestive heart failure, cystic fibrosis, and emphysema can not only cause shortness of breath but can lead to more serious medical conditions with your heart and brain. That’s why home oxygen therapy is an ideal solution for countless patients. Plenty of options are available, and speaking with your local Rogers Pharmacy specialist can help decide which would work best for your situation.
