The RUSCH/MMG intermittent urinary catheter with Introducer Tip has been proven to decrease urinary tract infections. Medical studies prove that MMG users are nine times less likely to contract UTI's than those using other conventional methods. Soft silicone "introducer" tip shields the catheter through the tip of the urethral opening bypassing the majority of urinary tract bacteria. No gloves are needed. The self-contained intermittent catheter system is fully protected within its own closed sterile field. Pre-lubricated and the catheter and soft silicone "Introducer" tip are both coated with a non-allergenic, water-soluble lubricant for easy insertion. No separate lubrication procedure is needed. The MMG Systems's vinyl catheter drainage eyelets are recessed and polished, the tips are tapered assuring a smoother glide passage through the urethra. The self-contained urine collection bag eliminates the need for separate containers, thus reducing the risk of spillage and allowing for ease of disposal. The MMG System provides greater comfort and mobility away from home. It fits in your pocket or purse and there are no bulky trays to carry around. The MMG Systems's unique patented "break-away" funnel end provides a safe and easy urine sampling procedure.

Designed with the help of Sunrise Medical's elite wheelchair basketball athletes, the Quickie All Court wheelchair establishes a new standard in performance and style. Using our patented center-of-mass adjustment feature, the All Court adjusts to match each user's unique center-of gravity and seat-angle requirements - all without swapping a single part. This, along with a new series of options, makes the Quickie All Court the perfect chair for both the recreational and the elite athlete.

The Quickie All Court now features special extra-hard caster wheels (92 durometer hardness). The new casters ensure that chair speed and maneuverability are not simply absorbed in the wheels. Extreme camber options of 16&de4g; and 20 offer superior stability and effortless turning.

The new ratchet-style positioning belt was inspired by a prototype developed by one of our own athletes. This belt features two sets of locking ratchet-clamps similar to those used in snowboard bindings. These ratchet-clamps allow the tightest possible connection to the chair. The stronger the connection, the easier upper-body movements transfer into chair movement.

The revised version of the Quickie All Court now offers a 1/2 sized seat pan. Because the wheelchair basketball association does not allow seat-to-floor heights greater than 53 cm, it is critical that any sag in the rear seat sling is eliminated. This is why centers and other players who need to maintain maximum chair-height, request this option.

The Quickie All Court now features smaller seat depths (10", 11" and 12") and smaller seat widths (12"). These new sizes open the door to young aspiring wheelchair athletes.
