What is the difference between a CPAP pillow and a regular pillow?

An awkward angle can cause air leaks, neck pain, and throw off your spinal alignment. CPAP pillows are specially designed to prevent these problems! They use unique shapes and supportive materials to help you keep a proper position and a secure seal. They offer neck support and are usually created with memory foam. Don't hesitate! Pick yours up today by visiting our store or our on-line catalog!

Walker vs Rollator - Which Option Is Best

For Me or My Loved One?

 

The terms “walker” and “rollator” are often used interchangeably, so how can patients decide which device fits their lifestyle? We’re here to help!

A walker is a stable mobility aid. Walkers are available in non-wheeled and wheeled versions.

 

Non wheeled walkers offer stable support for people who have balance problems. However, the walker must be picked up and moved forward before you take another step, which makes them a poor choice for people with limited arm strength.

 

Wheeled walkers offer support, but also have two front wheels which makes them a bit more maneuverable and easier to move.

 

A rollator is a more mobile stability aid. Rollators are available in three or four wheel versions. They come in a variety of colors and are a bit more stylish compared to walkers. But because of the wheels and brake system, rollators are often heavier than walkers (around 25 lbs vs. 8 lbs), an important consideration if you'll be taking it with you and lack arm strength.

 

Rollators enhance mobility and walking speed. However, because they have three and four wheels, rollators require steering and easy hand brake operation, which may not make them the best option for all users.

What kind of walkers and rollators are available? What color options and additional accessory options do they have? Stop by our store and let our knowledgeable staff assist you or visit our on-line catalog today!
