HELP RESTORE THE NATURAL CURVE OF YOUR NECK So many daily activities affect our posture, placing the head and neck in a detrimental forward-head position. This can be attributed to looking down at handheld devices, sleeping with the head elevated excessively, poor posture, or an acute injury such as whiplash. Using the Apex Premium, under the direction of a healthcare professional, counteracts forward head posture to help relieve headaches and neck pain associated with whiplash injury, tech neck, and other neck injuries. The contoured shape with wedge extension provides firm support to place the neck in a proper position to help reestablish a diminished cervical curve as a result of forward head posture. The unique wedge extension provides support to the upper thoracic spine for comfort and allows the shoulders to drop, stretching the chest and neck muscles. Opening the chest in this manner promotes breathing and facilitates relaxation. The Apex Cervical Orthosis Premium is an effective tool to help restore proper cervical lordosis. Use daily under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Latex free and made in USA. LEARN MORE

COLD COMPRESSION THERAPY PACK - HANDS FREE The versatile design of the Clover PackT comfortably surrounds painful and inflamed joints with cold therapy. Get long lasting and drug free relief by applying mild compression using the adjustable strap to secure the cold pack to the injured area. The pack’s exterior is made of a proprietary blend of synthetic fibers and organic plant materials. The plush fabric slowly releases cold therapy for subacute injuries while the soft surface quickly releases cold therapy for acute injuries. The nontoxic, biodegradable fill in this pack stays soft and pliable when frozen. The frost-free pack is soft to the touch, gentle on the skin, and does not need to be wrapped in a towel. Simply store the pack in the freezer for a minimum of 1 hour prior to use; the pack will remain cold for 20-30 minutes. Reusable. Made in USA. LEARN MORE
HEADACHE RELIEF - HELP RESTORE THE NATURAL CURVE OF THE NECK WHILE YOU SLEEP The Tri-Core® Cervical Support Pillow helps alleviate headaches and neck pain by providing proper alignment of the neck while sleeping, and is commonly used to help treat a variety of conditions affecting the neck and shoulders. For back sleeping, a firm cervical roll supports the neck while a shaped center gently cradles the head for better sleep. For side sleeping, the raised side areas help keep the head level for proper alignment of the spine. In order to provide therapeutic benefits and help restore the natural curve of the neck, two very firm cervical rolls provide different support options. Use the larger neck roll for maximum support. Use the smaller neck roll if you are in the adjustment phase or if you prefer slightly less support. For those who are new to sleeping on a cervical support pillow, or prefer gentle support, the “Gentle” version may be a better option (gentle option available for full size and mid-size pillow). It may take some time to adjust to this cervical pillow and immediate overuse may increase neck pain. Those who slowly ease their way into orthopedic correction, by alternating between this pillow and their current pillow, achieve the best results. The gentle version provides moderate to firm support, while the firm version provides very firm support. LEARN MORE

BIWAZE® CLEAR BiWaze® Clear provides oscillating lung expansion (OLE) therapy to help treat and prevent atelectasis, remove retained secretions from deep in the lungs, and reduce the work of breathing. The system expands and clears the airways through a combination therapy in just 10 minutes. Lung expansion therapy expands the airways, high frequency oscillation therapy mobilizes secretions, and nebulization therapy aims to deliver a therapeutic dose of a medication deep into the lungs. Alternating therapies of lung expansion and high frequency oscillation combined with Aerogen® nebulization help maximize therapy effectiveness. BiWaze® Clear is the only OLE therapy system to offer a closed breathing circuit to limit fugitive aerosols for improved hygiene and better therapy control. LEARN MORE
BIWAZE® COUGH BiWaze® Cough provides assisted cough therapy, which mimics a natural cough for individuals who are unable to have a productive cough on their own. Assisted cough therapy is a non-invasive alternative to suctioning to remove secretions. The PAP on Pause feature of BiWaze® Cough has been proven to help patients maintain lung volume after therapy, particularly ventilator-dependent patients. We are excited to expand on the great features of BiWaze® Cough by providing cleaner care with our Dual Lumen Breathing Circuit. Instead of using the same breathing pathway for inhaling air and exhaling mucus, the Dual Lumen Breathing Tube keeps the exhaled mucus separate from the inhaled air. This is important because when secretions are removed during a breathing treatment, they shouldn’t be blown back into the lungs. LEARN MORE

Merits Health Products Unveils the Single Power Group 2 PWC with 3 actuators MERITS K0835 GROUP 2 WITH 3 ACTUATORS The Group 2 Single Power Ultra configuration, Merits now offers the availability of up to three actuators (tilt, elevate, articulating foot platform). Previously, our Ultra limited actuator selections to only two, and we know from field feedback that this was problematic for many consumers, clinicians, and ATPs, not to mention that it forced providers to “down code” a Group 3 multiple power PMD to provide tilt, elevate, and an articulating foot platform. No more! This new Ultra 3 configuration now offers Rehab providers a high-performing Group 2 single power PMD with all the features and functions you and your clinicians have been asking for. Additionally, while CMS coding does not consider power seat elevators and power articulating foot platforms as “actuators” that count toward the base code, CMS does allow rehab providers to bill for the electronic components necessary to operate the additional actuators. As such, Merits offers E2311, E2313, and E2377 components for this Ultra to provide seamless actuator functionality and/or through-the-joystick operations for all three actuators. LEARN MORE
