looking for cheap oxygen concentrator

Question
Hi: I am looking to buy a refurbished concentrator. I use it at home at night for sleeping and can get a prescription. I had one for a few years that the insurance company was paying an outrageous amount monthly for and I had to pay for under our deductible and it was noisy, so I am looking to just buy one. I want something that uses as little power as possible and is as quiet as possible, all within the realm of reason. Could you recommend something? Thanks,

Answer

Thank you for your inquiry. We offer several inexpensive models of Refurbished Oxygen Concentrators. Please ocntatc us with any other questions.

Question

Thank you for your inquiry. ACS Comfort Gel Plus Overlay is best used for individuals who are not completely bedridden.

Heavy Duty Everair Low Air Loss Mattress,TA35RVE

Question
Can you tell me if this mattress will fit a VA mechanical bed? Right now we have a Mattress we purchased from RC WIley that is too thick for my Dad to be able to use the handrails easily. IS this the one we will want and need - Dad is 87 years old and I worry about pressure on feet

Answer

Essentially, this is the same mattress in different lengths. One of the design aspect of this product is that the middle layer of foot section has precision channel cut foam which provides additional pressure reduction in heel area. Please keep in mind that this is probably the same height as your current mattress, so the stock-hand situation may still persist.
