DME Featured Products: Let's Keep It Clean
Have you ever heard those news stories about how the latest Hollywood heart throb is rumored to never bathe? It seems every time a quorum of the female population take to fancying one particular man it drives him to defend himself from the screaming mobs in any way he can. That 'way' appears to be the development of revolting personal hygiene. Or perhaps, it's just the fact that the act of bathing is just too plain dangerous. After an entire day of running from the paparazzi who would want to continue to endanger him / her self by stepping into a wet slippery bathtub?Well, maybe it wouldn't be such an issue if they had some the fantastic bath safety products available from DMEsupplygroup.com. The Dependa Bar by Healthcraft (left) is a revolutionary design in wall mounted bath bars. Mounted to your bath wall it features a swinging bar that locks in 5 positions (every 45 degrees). When not in use it folds neatly against the wall.
If world travel is your gig you've undoubtedly found yourself needing to request handicap ready facilities in hotels and cruise ships, particularly when it comes to the bathroom. Sometimes these rooms are available, sometimes not. And, would you believe some places even charge extra for them?!

DME Featured Products: Roller Derby
As you may have noticed, the DME blog has been quiet lately. But today we bring good news. The engines of medical supply e-commerce have begun to roar back to life. As such we plan on bringing you regular updates on some of the hottest products that can be found on DMEsupplygroup.com.In my experience there are two types of people, active people and inactive people, doers and watchers, participants and spectators, people who play tennis and people who put tennis balls on the legs of their walkers. Today's featured products are for the people in the first group. These items provide the support you need while allowing you the utility needed to maintain your active life.
The Rollator 3-Wheeler is height adjustable. It is light weight (only 9 lbs) and collapses for easy transportation. Notice I didn't say "easy storage." That's because you don't store this hotrod. The Rollator is so easy to carry you will easily bring it with you everywhere you go. It comes with a pouch for your belongings so no need to carry extra bags. It's made from sturdy steal and the anatomical handles feature a loop breaking system. You may ask, "Why do I need breaks on a walker? Can't I just stop walking?" Well, here's the little secret. The breaks are not actually for you. They are for your family members to reach over and grab to slow you down so they can keep up with you. The Rollator is available from DMEsupplygroup.com for only $117.38.
You know there is something I have noticed about riding in a wheelchair, and that is it's next to impossible to wear a backpack. You can do it, but it's difficult to get it on and off, it makes your ride somewhat uncomfortable and you almost always end up smashing your Poptarts into a gooey mess of crumbs. The solution? The Complete Medical Wheelchair Backpack. Hanging from the handle of your chair the Wheelchair Backpack has ample room to carry everything you need. From your wallet and sunglasses to beach towels and tennis rackets. The bag is roomy, but still narrow enough to fit between the wheels of the chair so as not to rub.Everyone has had that experience. You know the one. You're out with the family. You realize you need something so you ask the young energetic person pushing your chair, "Could you please hand me my camera so I can take a picture of this mountain waterfall?" They respond, "Well, where did you it put?" assuming that though you have been sitting in the same place the entire time you somehow managed to hide your camera in a place that you could not reach it yourself. With this handy chair attachment you will now be able to respond with, "It's in my backpack. You know, the one hanging on the back of my chair right in front of you." It pays for itself.

Chemotherapy Gloves and Other Personal Protection Gloves
Looking for Chemotherapy gloves? Well, Chemo Plus Chemotherapy Gloves are good ones. CHEMO PLUS© latex chemotherapy gloves are 18 mil thick and textured at the fingertips. These hand specific gloves are designed to reduce fatigue. They are ideal for chemotherapy compounding and other related chemotherapy activities requiring protection for your hands.
We've also got Nitrile Gloves. Like these Medline Sensicare Ice PF Exam Gloves. We know that latex allergies are on the rise and that you're looking for latex glove alternatives to protect both patients and staff. Nitrile gloves are a popular option, but they still have shortcomings. Though they're known for offering the same great protection in high-risk and high-stress environments, nitrile gloves tend to be stiff and uncomfortable. With Medline's new Sensicare Ice examination glove, you can finally have it all - the comfort of latex in a nitrile glove. This glove can be used facility-wide, from the ICU all the way to phlebotomy.
Ah, well. More soon. All the best!

Incontinence Briefs and Adult Diapers
Have a I mentioned the on-line graphic novel, Athra? Well, if I hadn't, now I have. So there. That's not medical related, I just thought I would mention it.
On a completely different subject, I want to discuss incontinence. Specifically, incontinence products, like these disposable incontinence briefs. Which includes items like Wings Choice Plus Adult Briefs. These are padded briefs for greater comfort and absorbency. The come contoured with full absorbent mat designed for persons restricted by total incontinence, with leg gathers for superior fit and containment. They are made extra soft, stay-dry facing and moisture-proof backing enhance patient comfort. And they are, of course, extra strong, one-piece tape tabs provide secure fit. The feature a useful wetness indicator, and are recommended specifically for heavy incontinence.
We have a full selection of reusable pants and briefs, like the Sir Dignity Fitted Brief, or these Dignity Men's Boxer Shorts. Or these Lady Dignity Panties, which are made from a soft poly/cotton blend fabric delicately edged with lace. Stretch-lock, moisture-proof pouch sewn into panty holds super-absorbent liner in place without leakage or discomfort. Free absorbent liner included. And they are, of course, entirely washable.
And we've got HealthDri Men's Heavy Briefs and HealthDri Ladies Heavy Panties from the Salk Company. And don't forget these Net Pants.
And that's still barely scratching the surface. We've got Disposable Pants, such as these TENA Comfort Pants. More disposable briefs and underwear, too, such as these Surecare Protective Underwear. And these adult protective pull-ups and underwear. And these useful disposable undergarments. And don't forget those disposable liner pads.
More later. Bye!
The 3M Steri-Strip Adhesive Skin Closures
We also offer a wide variety of other Tape Closures.
We also sold a Medline U-Shaped Universal Mesh Sling with Head Support. Universal slings, or U slings for short, allow for easier application than full body slings. The universal sling molds around the body easily, eliminating the need to pull the sling under and risk skin injury or discomfort. They are available in mesh or full deluxe padded styles. Six point connectivity increases safety and weight distribution for superior comfort. And they are also, of course, available with full head support.
