Where to buy Wheelchairs in Southport?

2013-05-31T02:28:00.001-07:00

There are a number of places to purchase wheelchairs nowadays, here at B&M Supplies we feel we have the widest selection to suit a variety of needs and the customer service to guide you on purchasing the right wheelchair for you.

Situated in Birkdale Southport we have onsite parking and a specified area to try and test your new wheelchair. To help you choose the right type of chair its worth considering the 3 basic types available.

If at any time you require any assistance on renting or purchasing a new wheelchair, please don't hesitate to contact us on 01704 553 773.

Attendant Wheelchair Propelled Wheelchair

You can easily spot an attendant chair due to the characteristic small wheels on the chair, this chair is design to be pushed by an attendant or 2nd person and is designed for people who are unable to propel themselves in a big wheeled chair.

Available in steel which is very affordable or aluminium which is more expensive but stronger and very light,.
There are also a number of optional extras available including locking brakes and removable footplates for easy storage.

It may be worth considering the where the chair is to be used before choosing the right chair as a steel chair will be an advantage if the chair is to be left at a house or onsite somewhere where as a lighter aluminium is a much better option for traveling and folding into a car boot.

If you require any help or advice on Attendant wheelchairs call 01704 553 773 and we will be happy you

Self Propelled Wheelchair

Self propelled chairs are a little bigger and are designed so that the user is able to maneuver themselves easier using the hand grips on the wheels.

There are many different options when choosing a chair like this, for example a chair that is intended for rugid out door use is very different in design to a chair that is used in a hospital or nursing home.

The most common types of materials that these chairs are made from are steel and aluminum however top end wheelchairs such as sports wheelchairs can be made of materials such as carbon fibre to keep the chair light as possible.

We have a number of self propelled wheelchairs at our mobility shop in Southport so if you are thinking of buying a new one, or its your first time buying and need a little advice call 01704 553 773 or why not pop in and let our experts help you choose the right item for you

Electric Wheelchair or Power Chair

Electric wheelchairs have become more and more popular over the years due to a few reasons, firstly the chairs have gotten smaller, easier to transport so the chairs to be collapsed into smaller pieces.The price has come down considerably allowing the average consumer to now buy these items.

As with self propelled wheelchairs there are a few types of power chair available, some chairs have modifications specific to the clients needs, in this case a specialist will prescribe the type of chair available however for the average consumer powerchairs are similar to the one pictured here.

Electric wheelchairs use the same sort of mechanics that are found in mobility scooters and can be easily maintained and controlled, to find out more about powerchairs feel free to pop in and see us.

Woburn Electric Profiling Bed Maintenance

2013-05-30T03:50:00.001-07:00

We are able to repair and maintain most manufactures of profiling and trend beds however as we are a main distributor for Harvest Healthcare we are able to gain access to a whole range of parts and spares next day, this means that you are never without the bed for too long during a breakdown.

Do you need help or advice on a repair of this type of bed?

Call 01704 553 773 and we will be happy to help.

The design of a Woburn bed has allowed the bed to be easily maintained and any working parts that can fail are attached in such a way that these are easily replaced.

The bed itself has 4 linear actuators that drive the bed:

The head actuator
The foot actuator
Back rest actuator
Leg rest actuator

These actuator or pistons are driven by a central control box and handset. all of these parts can be replaced easily and can often fail if the bed has been used excessively or damage occurs, for example. We quite often find that sometimes a failure is caused by a patient hoist that has caught the wires underneath.

For prices on parts and spares or advice on our service contacts please call us on 01704 553 773

Roma Medical Release Product Videos to Complement the Range

2013-04-18T06:18:00.005-07:00

Roma Medical how have long been suppliers of mobility products have started to release a number of videos via youtube of their complete product range.

There are only a few products with videos at the moment however they do intend to cover the entire range. This is a good example of how business and manufacturers are starting to embrace different social media in a way to reach new client, it also allows potential customers to see these products working from the comfort of their own home.

For example if we look at the Sirocco product video, the main features of this can be clearly seen and we are given a full demonstration of how to dismantle and fold the unit up for storage and transport.

Roma's most recent mobility scooter also gets the video treatment and quite rightly so, the biggest feature of the "vegas" is that it is collapsible into several parts and is easy to be transported as it fits easy into the boot of the average car.

This scooter has also been very popular with customers looking to take a scooter on holiday and is available in a number of stunning colours

To view our full range of mobility scooters pop into our Southport Mobility Showroom or visit www.bmsupplies.co.uk

Also you can find all of Roma's product videos by visiting their youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/romamedicalaids

Maternity Bed Mats

2013-04-18T05:55:00.003-07:00

Since the introduction of baby and child nappies into our product range I've found that there are a lot of products that are very similar to other products but just packaged differently.

for example, Tesco offer a pack of maternity bed mats for £3.20, these mats come in a pack of 5 and they work to protect a mattress in there own words the products are described as follows:

"These soft and absorbent versatile Tesco maternity bed mats are designed for use in the later stages of pregnancy, labour and after childbirth. In the late stages of pregnancy, you can place one underneath your bed linen to protect your mattress in case your waters break during the night. A mat could also be used to protect your car seat should your waters break whilst traveling. If you are considering a home birth, the mats can also be used to protect your mattress during labour. But that’s not all! After your baby is born, the mat can be used to protect your bed linen from excess breast milk during the night as well as any post natal blood loss."

To be honest Maternity bed mats are essentially bed protectors that are used during stages of pregnancy, these mats have 101 uses, in fact I think I blogged a while ago about the uses in toilet training animals. I have also known these items to be used by some of my arty friends when painting with the kids as they.

Bed protectors can also be called inco sheets, conti sheets, bed pads and we currently sell these items in 2 different sizes 60cm x 60cm or 60cm x 90cm.

In comparison you can usually pick up these types of items a lot cheaper for the amount you get:

Sabanindas Bed Pad - 60 x 60 - Packets of 28 - £4.99

Sabanindas Bed Pad - 60 x 90 - Packets of 28 - £6.29

Lille Bed Protectors - 60 x 60 - Packets of 35 - £7.16

Lille Bed Protectors - 60 x 90 - Packets of 35 - -£12.00

Tips for Converting an Existing Bathroom into a Disabled Friendly Bathroom

2013-03-19T07:23:00.000-07:00

As a result of raising costs and the availability of care products via the internet a lot of people are making the decision to care for the elderly and loved ones at home.

Making sure the home is ready for this is usually the first step and people tend to turn their attention the bathroom.

There are literally tons of various equipment that is available and obviously a lot of this is dependent on the user however there are some steps that can help you.

Widen doorways by using of set hinges, this should allow greater access for wheelchair users and be mindful of obstacles such as cabinets and where the toilet and bath is placed.

Attaching grab rails on key areas of the bathroom will help add stability and can be spaced as above.

For long term use and extra stability ensure these are affixed to the wall rather than using grab rails with suckers as these will stay secure over time.One advantage to using the suction grab rails is that they can be moved and taken away holiday if needed.

Use a large shower mat, these are great for gripping in a shower or bath and when coupled with using grab rails they really help a user stay stable.

Adding a shower chair or bench can allow users to sit rather than stand in a shower and can be used so a person can lower themselves into a bath.

Raised toilet seat or toilet frame can assist people in lowering themselves onto a toilet, some can be secured to the floor however there are a few items that are portable and can be moved around the house. This can be particularly useful for houses with 2 or more bathrooms or a number of people who require extra support.

For a full selection of bathroom and toileting aids, why not visit our online mobility store or call 01704 553 773 for further details.

Pressure Care Alternating Mattress

2013-03-07T04:22:00.001-08:00

We have been slowly growing our website to include a number of mobility and medical related products.

In particular we have started to display a range of pressure relieving mattresses for people who are at a high risk of pressure sores.

There are two types of mattress available, memory foam or alternating mattress both will work very well however nursing and care facilities tend to lean towards using a mattress system as they can be maintained and set depending on the type of client who is using them.

Alternating Mattresses

An alternating mattress can be known as a few several names:

Alternating Mattress System
Air Flow Mattress
Pressure Therapy Mattress
Air Mattress System
Pressure Care System

An alternating system works by inflating cells underneath a client in alternating fashion so that the pressure of someone lying in bed.

The rate that these mattresses alternate is set via an attached pump/ motor that controls the rate of air flowing through the mattress. These pumps will differ depending on the weight of the patient or how at risk the patient is of contracting pressure sores.

To find out which mattress to use a specialist will carry out a risk assessment on patient which is scored using the waterlow score, this assesses the patients age, medical condition and other factors.

The air mattress is chosen based on this scale.

Air Mattresses for Low Risk Patients.

For patients at a low risk of pressure sores can use a foam mattress or a bubble system as pictured above, although this system has limited therapy and can be classed as a comfort product it will add extra comfort for patients who are not bed bound.

Air Mattresses for Medium to High Risk Patients

These mattresses are slightly more robust and are used for most patients in a care or nursing home, the mattress pictured above has large cells that alternate and is classed as an overlay mattress so it can be placed on top of an existing mattress. by placing an overlay mattress over a foam underlay increases the type of therapy applied.

You tend to find that for patients that are at a greater risk of contracting pressure sores a full replacement mattress is required, these systems include 2 types of therapy, Air Cell Alternation and added foam for extra pressure relief. there are also many pumps available to suit.

Air Mattresses for High Risk Patients

High risk mattress are also very robust and offer great control over the entire system via the pump, in some instances the mattresses offer patient rotation, this means the mattress will alternate and deflate on one side slowly to rotate the patient eliminating the need for nursing during the night.

These mattresses tend to be for bed ridden patients who are required to spend extended periods of time in bed.

We currently have our full selection of air flow mattress on our website however if you require any help or advice on choosing the right equipment, please don't hesitate to contact us on 01704 553 773 or email enquiries to orders@bmsupplies.co.uk

Infection Control & Incontinence

2012-11-23T07:47:00.000-08:00

Over the last few years care homes and care facilities have been more and more conscious about cross contamination and infection control. This means that that the spread of germs and bacteria is limited as much as possible and reduces the risk of illness and infection to residents, staff and visitors.
Why is there more focus on this?
Infections has always been a big problem for care homes and hospitals because germs are invisible and can be easily missed and spread very quickly, this can put people who are vulnerable to getting even sicker at risk of a longer stay in hospital and in some instances can lead to death.
How does infection spread?
Infections spread from person to person when germs are able to leave the body and be transported into another body, this can occur when changing an incontinence diaper, dressing a wound or inhaling air bound germs from a sneeze.
We can do a number of things to minimize risk:

Wash hands properly before and after every medical related task
Sanitize hands during a visit at a care home or hospital with alcohol hand gel
Handle any items that may have germs on in the correct way
Wear examination gloves when dealing with bodily fluids, never
Don’t reuse medical gloves always dispose off after use

Nursing and care homes tend use a number of ways to dispose of soled linen by using red alginate bags to transport linen limits the amount of contact to soiled clothes. Simply put soiled clothing in the bag and seal.
Once this is sealed it can be transported direct to the laundry area or washing machine and put into a wash, the alginate strip will disintegrate allowing the clothes to be washed.
When the wash has finished the bag can be removed and clothes can be handled.
For more information on deals on infection controls products and continence products please call 01704 553 773 or view a selection of our products on-line.

Synthetic Examination Gloves

2012-11-23T07:39:00.001-08:00

Over many years we have a number of concerns when using latex gloves due to increases in latex allergies among care workers, NRL or natural rubber latex has long been the chosen product for examination gloves because it is light, strong, and protective on a microbiological level yet offers the user sensitivity when in use.

The downside however is that a lot of health workers reported problems with allergies especially care staff with asthma and skin problems and on some occasions more serious reactions.
Our range of synthetic gloves offer a cost effective solution when deciding on a suitable alternative as they are strong and reasonably sensitive however they don’t have the same proteins that are apparent in natural latex.

A rise in the cost of production of latex have also contributed in a price increase in NRL based products where as gloves manufactured using synthetic substances are able to stay at a low price, in fact our prices start from just £2.95 ex vat for high grade medical standard gloves.

If you are looking for a supplier of synthetic examination gloves to supply your home or care facility, why not give us a call to compare us with your current supplier on 01704 553 773

2012-11-23T07:38:00.000-08:00

I Posted this a while ago on a separate blog but I thought it would be helpful here too, These products have a hundred different uses and I think this is my favorite but that’s because it helped me through a particular messy litter tray period when my cats were younger.

I have mentioned about the use of disposable bed pads when protecting a bed or furniture however there are a number of other uses for this product that may surprise you. I’ve been selling a lot of these recently on ebay to various pet owners who are currently toilet training their puppies, kittens and keeping pets.

The pad itself is ideal for this due to the shape and the absorbency of the sheet. The 60 x 60 bed pad or Inco sheet can be placed in a cat litter tray under the to absorb excess moisture. The benefits of doing this means that the litter omits less odour and cleaning the tray a much easier experience.

The sheet itself has a plastic backing with will protect the surface it lays on while the quilted material is made from an absorbent pulp that locks moisture into the pad itself.

There are a number of different uses for this product this is just one of them, For more information regarding these pads please visit our website at http://www.bmsupplies.co.uk/.

Cat Toilet Training - Hints & Tips

By Nancy Wigal

There are several things you need to do to help the mama cat train her kitties to develop good cat litter box habits. While the kids may try to follow mom's example, here's how you can help cement that success.

First, since kittens are so physically small and they're still developing coordination and agility, it's critical that you, the human mom, make sure they can easily get in and out of any cat litter box. The easiest way to do this is buy disposable aluminium roaster pans from your grocery store. Kittens grow as fast as weeds in the summertime, so this is a temporary, but completely justifiable purchase.

If your regular litter boxes are too tall for the babies to climb in and out, they'll become discouraged and they'll select the easiest spot (for them, at least) to eliminate waste. Once they get this idea in their little heads, it could be hard to get out. So, don't give them the excuse!

The type of litter you use for kittens can be dangerous. Since kittens are so darn curious, they test everything with their mouths. If they eat clumping litter, this could kill them. Use a non-clumping litter for several weeks. It won't be any easier to watch them taste test the non-clumping litter, but neither will it be dangerous.

Depending upon the size of the litter, you'll need at least two, and possibly several roasting pans. Since the babies all pretty much eat at the same time, they'll feel the call of nature in a group as well. You can ensure successful cat litter box habits by making certain there are enough boxes to accommodate a group elimination activity.

Young kitties don't have great control of their bladder and bowel functions. Place all cat litter boxes in close proximity to their living quarters. Keep the pans away from their food and water, but don't place them out of the same room, if possible. The closer the pans are, the better the chances are the babies will make it to the box in time to let loose.

Also, make certain that mom is teaching the babies by the time they are five weeks old. If mom seems to be falling down on the job, you must step in during week five of their lives and start the training process. Shortly after the little ones have fed, take them to the litter pan, and place them in it. You may need to gently take a front paw, and scratch for them. Fortunately, almost all cats "get it" very quickly. Your coaching period should be relatively short.

By working with mama cat, the two of you make sure the babies develop good cat litter box habits for life.

Inco Sheets Northwest

2012-11-23T07:33:00.003-08:00

As part of our range of washable incontinence bed sheets we now stock a selection of disposable Inco sheets.
Bed pads are similar to incontinence pads in the way that they absorbent and lock moisture away however these are flat and can be placed on a bed, a waterproof backing stops moisture from leaking onto the mattress and bedding.

A) Once the liquid touches the white top surface of the pad the absorbent pulp draws moisture to the center of sheet.
B) The powdered gel absorbs the moisture and locks this moisture ensuring it doesnt leak back to the surface
C) The plastic backing acts as a barrier stoppoping the moisture from leaking right through the pad to the mattress and bedding, this also has a sticky backing to stop the bed pad from moving during the night.

Usually these items are available in different sizes however the most popular sizes in use worth nursing and care homes are 60cm by 60cm or 60cm by 90cm.

Huggies call it a day!

2012-11-23T07:32:00.001-08:00

Kimberley Clarke who manufacture Huggies brand to have decided to call it a day on selling the recognizable brand in Europe, It seems that the company have noticed less loyalty on the brand and have decided to move efforts on to some of their more established brands which include the massively popular Andrex line.

It’s not all bad news though its seems they will continue to supply its more premium products, Dry nights, and Huggies little swimmers products.
As an alternative to Huggies it may be worth considering Libero’s range of nappies and pull-ups, we are also stocking a range of pampers which may be worth trying.

As always if you require a particular size or product we can always source this in for you, feel free to call us on 01704 553 773 or email and enquiries over to orders@bmsupplies.co.uk
