DME/MEDICAL SUPPLY

DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT

Durable Medical Equipment or DME supplies  include medical devices that can be used over and over again to help improve a person’s quality of life. They are usually prescribed by medical providers for adults and children who are suffering from a disability or long-standing illness, or those who are recovering after injures or surgeries. Most DME supplies have an extended lifetime. They are meant to be resilient and long-lasting, as they are handled by patients or their caregivers who may not be healthcare professionals. These innovative and practical devices make daily life at home or in private facilities, comfortable and easy for their users.

You may be wondering where you can get durable medical equipment for yourself or your loved one?

A patient’s treating physician would have to provide a prescription for the DME, in order for the equipment to be reimbursed by insurance providers. The doctor may recommend a supplier, or you can choose your own. Medical suppliers may also provide delivery and installation of the product. They can train the patient, family, and caregivers on how to use and maintain the device as well. Get access to exceptional durable medical equipment, from our expansive range of medical supplies by sending your prescriptions to Arvada Pharmacy, where we are committed to providing solutions that enhance your health and wellbeing. These include:

DME supplies are essential for the treatment and rehabilitation of a wide range of bone and muscle injuries. They can also be used to stabilize and support an injured or inflamed joint. The goal is to ensure that the DME device has a custom fit that makes mobility comfortable for optimal healing.  These include devices like orthopedic shoes, infrared heating pads, and many more.

Durable Medical Equipment like wheelchairs, medical scooters, mobility scooters, walking aids, canes, crutches, walkers and rollators, can help people suffering from disabilities with their activities of daily living. They serve to increase the person’s independence and confidence, as they are able to move safely with minimal assistance, thereby improving their quality of life. The type of DME chosen for a patient depends upon their medical condition as well as inputs from their healthcare team, but should also consider their living arrangements, their occupations, and their recreational activities. Our trained and experienced staff can advise you on what type of DME would suit your needs.
