Before you say no to spring travel plans, you should know that your health doesn’t have to hold you back from getting out to experience life. Durable medical equipment is just that–durable! This means you can take it with you without having to worry about the toughness of travel breaking equipment easily. Here are some items that you can feel comfortable taking with you anywhere.

Portable Oxygen Concentrators

This may just be the best thing since sliced bread. There are many people who rely on oxygen assistance daily. The problem with this is that the at-home concentrators are not easy to travel with. They often deter people from living the full active lifestyle that they desire. Products like the Eclipse have made a great difference in their lives, as they are able to take the portable devices with them anywhere. They are light and filter their own oxygen, so you don’t need to take a tank with you everywhere. Check out our blog from earlier this month to learn about the impactful benefits of a POC.

CPAPs

For those who have obstructive sleep apnea, you know the importance of staying compliant wherever you go. Even taking a week off from therapy while you travel can have a significant impact on your mood and health. Thankfully, you don’t have to choose between travel and a good night’s sleep. We have the world’s smallest sleep machine ready for you to take anywhere.

Canes

Sometimes, canes can be a hassle because they don’t really have a good place to fit. Yet, they are a necessity that is impossible to go without for some. This is especially true while traveling, as you will likely be on your feet more than normal. This is where a travel cane would be the perfect solution. It is sturdy, yet collapses into a manageable travel size. Even the height is adjustable!

Scooters

Sometimes wheelchairs are not a feasible option and scooters can be so heavy it makes the idea of traveling just a dream. However, there are many scooters designed with ease of use and travel in mind. Scooters like the Buzzaround XLS can be put together in seconds, making travel with it a breeze.

Traveling is such a large part of life and nothing should hold you back. Don’t hesitate to contact us for medical equipment to make that easier. With that, we will leave you with this quote: “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
