Eva support walker, referred to as a Cardiac Walker. Provides optimal support for users needing more stability while walker. Ideal for post-op patients when early walking is indicated.

The Eva Walker supports the patients weight when exercising. Good for Post-op patients when early walking exercise is indicated. Easily adjustable to suit different patient heights.

The EVA walker uses a hydraulic system to elevate and lower the arm rests so that it can be at the patients optimal height for gait training. It is on 4 casters so that it is easy for the patient to maneuver around the facility. The EVA walker was designed with cardiac patients in mind that have sternal precautions (no pushing, no pulling, limit reaching, avoid twisting and bending) as it allows for safe gait training with support from the walker without breaking any of the precautions. The EVA walker takes 80% of the pressure away from the sternum compared to a standard walker, which allows for much earlier ambulation, post-op. Along with the available accessories, it is a perfect fit for any surgical floor.

However, many other patients can benefit from it as well. A patient who is non-weight bearing on an upper extremity would be unable to participate in gait training utilizing a traditional rolling walker. However, with the EVA walker, they would have the proper support they would need during gait training and they would be able to adhere to their weight bearing precautions.

Patients who would also benefit from the EVA walker are ones who have a difficult time standing up straight. The EVA walker could be used as a standing frame to address postural deficits in preparation for gait training. The added support the patient would receive from the EVA walker could help build confidence and increase safety.

And finally, for those patients with significant arthritis in the hands who have a difficult time with grasping a traditional rolling walker, the EVA walker may be a better fit. While still providing support for walking to increase functional gait and balance, the patient doesn't have to worry about the pain and discomfort they may experience in their hands as a result of the arthritis.

The EVA walker can help build confidence, increase safety, and allow patients to improve their gait pattern and increase their distance before they are able to transition to a more traditional rolling walker.

The padded, molded arm pads have a sculpted forearm cutout to keep the arms from sliding off the pads. The arm pads can be removed and are easily cleaned; making it ideal for institutions with a variety of users. Hand grips are a more comfortable round shape and are forward facing, providing a better and more ergonomic grip. Welded steel frame with baked epoxy enamel finish. Non-marring casters with step on wheel locks on the rear casters.

The Adult Pneumatic Support Walker adjusts from 35 1/2" - 51" (89/129 cm) which should accommodate someone up to 65 tall. The easy to release lever mechanism is conveniently located under the front armrest support frame. The walker is ideal when being used with a wide range of patients with its easy height adjustment.

Includes Standard Hand grips. Step-on locking brakes on two casters.

The optional Directional Casters align the rear casters to track in a straight line to assist the user in controlling the direction of the EVA Walker. Step ON for directional tracking / Step OFF unlocks the directional tracking. NOTE: Caster locks are only on the front casters on models with directional casters.

The AMSure Enteral Feeding Set with ENFit connectors is designed for safe and effective administration of enteral nutrition, fluids, and medication. Each set features a pre-attached feeding tube transition connector for easy setup. It is recommended for use with the Sentinel enteral pump and is compatible with the Compat enteral pump. The ENFit connector complies with the ISO 80369-3 design standard, improving patient safety by reducing the risk of misconnections. This feeding set provides reliable performance for optimal patient outcomes in hospitals, clinics, and home healthcare settings.

Designed specifically to absorb ileostomy pouch contents. Conveniently packaged in a dissolvable film packet, which is dropped into the pouch each time the pouch is emptied or cleaned. As the pouch fills, the packet dissolves, releasing granules, which form a gel with the liquid fecal output. The gel remains at the bottom of the pouch away from the stoma. Reduces pouch noise, odor, leakage and peristomal skin irritation.

The Kaye Dynamic multi-positional stander allows 360 degrees of movement within the base of support while the client is safely aligned in a standing position. This unique stander is an important innovation for clients who do not develop adequate balance, weight shift or postural control to stand or walk unaided. The Kaye Dynamic Stander is distinctive in several ways as reported by clients and therapists who participated in clinical trials.

First, the excursion of movement of the stander is adjusted with a spring loaded crank. Clients who were fearful of moving in standing reported that they felt in control and were not fearful when initiating movement. They could begin by experiencing limited movement within their base of support and increase the range of movement as they developed confidence. The resistance to movement can be adjusted so that clients of many ages, sizes and weight can work on postural control.

Second, since sway can be damped down, clients were able to pair postural control with function, experiencing the typical weight shifts that accompany reaching, manipulation, speech, eating and self care activities. Clients described that they felt less stiffness and activities were easier to perform when they were permitted adaptive movements while standing.

Third, since clients are securely stabilized, therapists reported that clients learned to independently activate weight shifting by pushing into the base with their feet as they moved away from the vertical position and brought themselves back to midline. The clients were able to develop a sense of midline in the vertical position.
