Medical Supplies in the Bathroom Saves Lives
The right medical or home health supplies used in the bathroom can save lives and prevent injuries to those with limited mobility.
Mesa, AZ (PRWEB) January 29, 2010
Millions of people are injured every year in the bathroom, and in some cases people are even killed, because of slip and falls. In most cases, the use of some simple medical supplies such as a shower chair, bedside commode (http://www. allegromedical. com/bathroom-assists-c517/commodes-c3601.html), grab bars or a raised toilet seat, could have prevented injuries. Allegro Medical is a leader in the medical supplies industry and carries a variety of devices that help individuals use the bathroom safely.
Valerie Paxton, Vice President of Allegro, explains, “One of the most common problems we see as people grow older is the issue of bathroom safety. Elderly parents or those with disabilities can be unsteady on their feet or become light-headed. The bathroom is particularly dangerous because of smooth floors, bare feet, and the need to get up and down or perform other actions that can lead to a fall. We offer a complete line of medical supplies that give people back their independence in the bathroom.”
As people grow older, their sense of balance can be affected, and weakness in the arms and legs can contribute to unsteadiness. Using medical supplies that give users added balance or more momentum when moving, such as grab bars, can make a real difference. Grab bars (http://www. allegromedical. com/bathroom-assists-c517/grab-bars-c3602.html) help individuals get in and out of the bathtub and on and off the toilet safely. Shower chairs can reduce slips in the tub and prevent fatigue while showering.
“We offer a wide range of solutions to fit every situation. Our commodes include contoured handles for individuals to hold onto when getting up or down. This steadies them, gives them a sense of security, and prevents slip and fall accidents when using the commode. Some people prefer our cushioned toilet seats without handles so that an aide can help them. It's very important to compare our various products and find the medical supplies (http://www. allegromedical. com/) that will work for you and your loved one. The right medical supplies can give the person who is unsteady or insecure in the bathroom a sense of independence while protecting them from unfortunate accidents.”
