Because people’s lifespan have been extended in general, the demand for orthopaedic products such as wheelchairs, commodes and walking aids has increased, as has the range of products available. It is now a fact of life that many senior citizens in their 90’s are often active and well.

One’s body is usually not equipped to handle the stresses accompanying old age, so the use of aids has become more prevalent. As most orthopaedic and surgical equipment appear to be identical, it is imperative that one should rely on the integrity of the orthopaedic outlet to ensure that inferior products, which if used, do not result in a serious fall by the user and that the customer is made aware of the options of better quality products as a long term solution.

Products include:
Wheel Chairs,  Tri Wheelers , Commodes, Rolators , Shower seats, Walkers , Walking Sticks, Crutches, Sports braces , Sheepskin, Egg box cushions and mattresses

In the past, patients spent many days recuperating in hospital after surgical and other procedures. Today, it is common practise for patients to be discharged after 24 hours, necessitating the purchase of surgical and other items for use at home while recovering. Gauzes, dressings, bandages and more specialised items are available for this purpose in many different quality and price ranges.

Products include:

– Bandages
– Specialised dressings
– Support stockings

The use of incontinent products is unfortunately a fact of life for many people of various ages.  These products include catheters, disposable bed sheets, adult nappies and other specialised items.  These items are consumable and unfortunately need to be purchased on a regular basis making price and quality a major consideration.
