Our Ulti-Lance alternate site testing device allows you to choose the most comfortable depth and place for your test. It has a clear cap for easy viewing and five settings to fit your needs. It also has an ejection feature, so you can safely dispose of your lancet. Although the Ulti-Lance can be used with any standard lancet, for best results, we recommend using Ultilet® Lancets.

A favorite in geriatric or rehab swim programs. It gives supplementary support for those who have some swimming skills, while a moderate amount of lift helps maintain the body in the traditional swim position. One quick release waist strap for easy on/off.

Optional Pad Plus offered to modify the Tri-Swim. Attach Pad Plus onto the front section and the additional buoyancy will raise the body position in the water.

The Pacer is a comfortable, supportive gait trainer for a very involved child or a simple means of assisted walking for a child who needs minimal help. Customize support by selecting from a variety of prompts, designed to adapt to the changing needs of each child. Prompts mount anywhere along the top bar, and are easily removed when a child no longer needs them. Simple, two-handed frame height adjustment in one-inch increments. Easy rear access for transfers. Users can face either direction. Innovative casters have separate swivel lock, brake, variable drag, and one-way ratchet control features. Use any combination to control the Pacer's speed and direction. Frame fits in your car trunk. The medium and large Pacers fold for transport. Use the two-handed release catch to unlock the frame. The small Pacer will fit most trunks without folding.

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.
