In the medical supply field, there are hundreds of types of every product available – and for good reason. Medical needs can vary greatly from one person to the next, so that one pair of gloves can be perfect for one person but useless for another, a diaper can be sufficient for one patient but unfit for another, and one wheelchair can meet all the needs of one individual but be a completely wrong fit for another.
For that reason, the most important factor in medical supply purchases is usually not what’s popular but rather the individual product specifications required in every individual situation. Nevertheless, there are certain products that have become especially popular and are often recommended for many different people. These products become bestsellers in a variety of ways, including innovation, universal design and affordability.
Below are some medical supplies and equipment that we’ve seen to be especially popular – and how they became bestsellers in the industry.
1. Excel 2000 Wheelchairs
The Excel 2000 by Medline is truly top quality, with reliable sturdiness and comfort making it a cut above most manual wheelchairs available in this price range. The high quality welding, solid construction and heavy duty materials combine to offer exception stability and security for users. Although the prices for the Excel 2000 Wheelchairs start at only $160.80, these tastefully designed wheelchairs are comparable to other wheelchairs in the $300-$400 range – thus earning them their rightful place as a bestseller wheelchair.
2. Bed Assist Bar
The Bed Assist Bar is popular for its excellent design, which includes height adjustability, a soft grip on the rail for comfort and a convenient storage pocket for personal items. Manufactured with the patient’s safety and ease of use in mind, the Bed Assist Bar is sturdy and reliable, fits almost any bed, and can be assembled easily without any tools required. At only $37.45, there’s very little reason not to get this bed assist rail for anyone who has a hard time getting out of bed without help.
3. Depend Real Fit Briefs
Depend Real Fit Briefs are masculine, comfortable and, best of all, they feel almost exactly like the real thing. Designed for active individuals with incontinence, these pull-up underwear offer excellent breathability, a cotton-like feel and a discreet fit. If you don’t believe us, just ask Jon.
4. ReliaMed Reusable Underpads
Absorbent, reliable and available in a variety of sizes, the ReliaMed Reusable Underpads have truly earned their place as one of the top ten washable bed pads on today’s market. With an 8 ounce fluid capacity and high durability, these bed pads stand up to heavy leaks and multiple washes. Other great features include nonslip backing, a quilted design for more efficient fluid intake and a comfortable top layer.
5. Ambitex General Purpose Vinyl Gloves
The Abmitex General Purpose Gloves are popular for two main reasons: their price and their versatility. Ideal for daily chores, cleanups, projects and more, these latex-free, powder-free and problem-free disposable gloves are the perfect choice for anyone who is looking for a reliable glove at a low price – and at only 3¢ a glove, you can’t get much better!
