Ordering Waynesville NC CPAP Supplies

April 8th, 2012

Waynesville NC CPAP suppliesIf you recently took part in a sleep apnea study required by your doctor and were diagnosed with sleep apnea, then some choices need to be made with regards to CPAP machines and supplies. Waynesville NC CPAP supplies are essential to successful treatment of sleep apnea and are readily available through AeroFlow Healthcare. Supplies typically include tubing, filters, masks, headgear and replacement parts.

CPAP machine filters are an important part of therapy as they help to control the intake of harmful dust particles into the nasal passages. In most cases, filters are located at the back of a CPAP machine and are either disposable or non-disposable. It is recommended that the filters be checked for dirt and be changed on a routine schedule to help maintain optimal results. Before purchasing any filters, it is important to have the correct machine manufacturer and model number available to ensure correct Waynesville NC CPAP supplies are ordered.

Waynesville NC CPAP supplies also include numerous styles of masks from which to choose. The traditional and most widely used are the standard nasal masks that cover only the nose. There are also full face masks which cover both the nose and mouth and are useful for CPAP users who cannot fully breathe out of their nose. Nasal pillow masks have become quite popular and have minimal contact points. They are lightweight and less constraining. Other more specialized masks fit gently inside the mouth. Each mask typically comes with its own style of headgear.

A Variety of Hickory NC Power Wheelchairs

April 1st, 2012

Hickory NC power wheelchairsPower wheelchairs are wheelchairs that have a power source to move the chair without the requirement of functional upper body strength and hand dexterity like that needed with the use of manual wheelchairs. If you are in the vicinity of Hickory, North Carolina, you’ll find AeroFlow Healthcare is a good source of Hickory NC power wheelchairs and we have many to choose from. Electric wheelchairs can be used to reduce the strain on a person’s shoulders and arms so that transfers can still be performed safely. Our Hickory NC power wheelchairs give the user more freedom to drive them rather than have to rely on another person to push the wheelchair.

Hickory NC power wheelchairs are composed of a base, front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, mid-wheel drive, seating and controls. All these components make the power wheelchair much heavier than a  manual wheelchair. Recline and tilt-in-space systems can be added for more ease in helping the occupant with toileting and transfers. We carry many accessories for wheelchairs that can help them perform smarter for you. These technologies are also responsible for providing the user better posture, pressure relief and additional comfort.

The type of power chair you purchase depends a lot on where it will be used, the surfaces it will be driven on and the space it will have to  maneuver around. Travel power wheelchairs are portable for the home and use in public areas. Folding power wheelchairs are the most convenient type for transporting.

In short, the answer is that sleep apnea is a breathing disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. There are two types — Central Sleep Apnea and Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Depending upon which sleep apnea you have we will develop a treatment plan for you and work with you to be sure you benefit from it.
