Most people are not entirely sure what home medical equipment entails. In truth, this term is very general and encompasses many different items. Basically, it is any piece of medical supply equipment that you can use outside of a medical care facility. For example, it would be impossible for someone to stay in the hospital for weeks just so that a broken arm can heal. They do not need constant medical attention nor are they unable to function normally without supervision. All they need is time for their arm to heal. Therefore, the doctor sets the bone, secures it with a plaster cast, and provides a sling so that they person can go home and heal. In this case, the sling would be considered a piece of home medical equipment.


Other examples are items that fall under the terms of bariatric medical equipment, equipment for elderly or handicapped individuals, and diabetic equipment. Bariatrics is the study of the causes, treatment, and prevention of obesity. People who have severe weight problems have difficulty moving around, getting in and out of bed, and bathing. Elderly individuals also have trouble moving from room to room. The bathroom is the most dangerous place for mobility-impaired people because there are more chances to slip and further injure themselves. Hand bars for the toilet and the bathtub as well as seats for the bathing area are all considered medical equipment and are very helpful to have in the home.


Another reason you might need to look into home medical equipment is if you or a loved one needs special machines or other items in your house for in-home care. Hospitals are not the most peaceful places. If you are trying to recover from an illness, it is much more ideal to undergo this recovery in the comfort of your own home.  Your recovery will be much faster with your loved ones around you! Having the proper medical machines right in your bedroom gives you the medical care that you need without you having to pay for the long hospital stay.
