Lifting Commode Chair
Uplift Technologies Inc, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, introduces the all-in-one Commode Assist, a self-powered, lifting commode chair that helps 80-pound to 220-pound users gently seat and raise themselves by lifting up to 80% of their weight. A hydro-pneumatic mechanism that slowly and automatically activates when users release the safety latch and shift forward to stand provides the lifting action. (800) 387-0896; www.up-lift.com.

Gait Trainer
Pacific Rehab Inc, Scottsdale, Ariz, now offers the Meywalk and Miniwalk (pictured) gait trainers. Designed to allow users to simulate normal gait patterns, the Meywalk and Miniwalk allow for downward movement as the user steps forward resulting in a “toe off” for forward movement. The spring assembly then lifts to assist with swing through and aids in foot placement for the next step. (888) 222-9040; www.PacificRehabInc.com.

Electrotherapy Redesign
BioMedical Life Systems, Vista, Calif, introduces a new look for the BioStim® A3 Analog TENS Device. It incorporates a flip-top design that, when closed, covers the dials for additional safety. The inside flip-top cover includes an instruction diagram to guide users through three modes of operation: continuous, width modulation, and burst. A timer allows patients to use the device for a specified period of time, and a low-battery indicator light illuminates when the 9-V battery needs to be charged. (800) 726-8367; www.bmls.com.

Nasal Cannula CPAP Interface
VIASYS Healthcare Inc’s HomeCare Group, Yorba Linda, Calif, is now the distributor for the Spiritus™ nasal cannula continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) interface, which offers therapy without a mask and headgear. It uses a larger bore tubing that is approximately a third of the length of competitive products and features a built-in swivel for easy movement. Because there are no tubes over the ears, it eliminates sleep disruption due to sound, and there are no pressure points to interfere with sleeping positions. Available in three sizes, it features single-strap headgear to allow users to wear glasses and the mask at the same time. (610) 862-0800; www.viasyshealthcare.com.
