Medical Uniforms
Benefits of Purchasing Quality Medical Uniforms

Many employees in hospitals, doctors’ offices, dentist offices and even veterinary offices put on the medical dress code. Medical uniforms play an integral role in the medical setting.

Raised Toilet Seats
Raised Toilet Seats Can Help Prevent Injuries

As most senior citizens are well aware, the bathroom can be a very hazardous place for anyone whose degree of personal mobility is less-than-ideal. As bone mass begins to decrease as people age, this risk is exacerbated due to the increased severity of potential injuries resulting from slips and falls in the bathroom.

There are many different risk factors in the bathroom alone, perhaps the most common of which are wet floors and the burden of climbing over the wall of the bathtub to get into the bath or shower. However, these are hardly the only risk factors involved with using the facilities.

For those with limited mobility, back pain, arthritic/sore knees or general weakness in the knees and lower back, the task of assuming one’s seat atop his or her throne can be just as dangerous as getting into and out of the tub. This is particularly true for individuals who suffer from pain or weakness in the knees and back.

For many seniors living independently, in group homes, retirement communities and with family, personal mobility can become both an issue of practicality in terms of the logistics of travel (alone or with others) as well as personal safety.

Especially broken hips – occurring as the direct byproduct of a fall suffered in the home. In many cases, these falls take place when no one is present to provide immediate assistance, potentially resulting in a delay that could potentially last several hours before help arrives or is even notified.

One of the reasons for this is that often times, seniors live without the mobility equipment products that could help them prevent such injuries, often times for no better reason than pride and ego.

Medical Equipment Suppliers
Choosing the Best Medical Equipment Suppliers

Medical Equipment is the first and foremost requirement of any healthcare facility. The kind of equipment required depends upon the kind of patients the healthcare facility is catering to. Many healthcare commodities are required on a regular basis like syringes, medical gloves etc. and some are required just once like X-Ray machines, Dental chairs etc. The responsibility of buying these supplies lies with the chief administrator in most smaller healthcare clinics. In a large facility or hospital, there is typically a person or department responsible for purchasing.

Those with little or no experience buying medical equipment and/or supplies need exercise caution in their purchase decisions, as one faulty piece may lead to the loss of the brand-value of the health care facility. Faulty equipment can also lead to lawsuits, and in extreme cases the loss of the institution, clinic or organization’s license to practice medicine (whatever the specialty of the organization) and/or bill private insurers and government-sponsored healthcare programs.
