Why Did We Choose These 9 Products?

When considering the Health, Safety, and Comfort of the Bariatric Patient we felt that these 9 practical products are what each patient absolutely needs in order to remain comfortable and secure.

Normal beds simply will not work for individuals this size. Patients exceeding 550 pounds need an adjustable heavy duty hospital bed to ensure comfort and safety. Most patients with this health condition have difficulty getting to the bathroom quick enough, this is why you need a bedside commode that can accommodate your weight. When entering and exiting your bed, a safety step stool is an absolute must. Without one, you risk falling and injuring yourself. Since, much of your time will be spent in bed, a good quality Overbed table will be essential.

Many larger individuals require oxygen therapy in order to breathe and having a good Oxygen Concentrator becomes a vital solution. The Invacare Platinum that we picked for this article is very mobile, so when you go out, simply take this one with you. Again, due to your current state and the potential to be in bed often, your legs will not get enough blood flow and the Leg Compression System we offer here will help promote blood flow to your lower extremity.

Another practical device you will need is a good sturdy showering chair. But you need one that can support your weight too. The Sliding Swivel Shower Bench we chose has all the features you need.

​Lastly, you won't be stuck inside all the time. You will need to go out at times. Getting out will do amazing things for you. But in order to get out of the house, you will need a wheelchair most likely. We choose an amazing one and our favorite pick for larger individuals. The Karman Bariatric Wheelchair is manual, meaning the user has the ability to push themselves, thus providing much needed exercise. If you get tired, don't worry, this chair has handles on the back for a caregiver to assist you. When leaving on your wheelchair or if you are up to walking, a sturdy wheelchair ramp will come in handy!
