boards, crutches, commodes, raised toilet seats,knee scooter, we have cryotherapy machines for shoulders and knees, back braces, knee braces, CPAP machines, portable air machines, tensor bandages, reachers, and a whole lot more. We loan on a donation basis and that we use those donations to buy new equipment when needed.
