Compression Hosiery Aid

Maddak Inc, Pequannock, NJ, introduces its new Ableware® Heel Guide Compression Stocking Aid. This product contains an indented channel on the inside of the center cone, which acts as a heel guide and keeps the foot in proper position while pulling on the compression hose. An extra-wide cone is designed for people with edema or larger feet, and the sturdy, 17-inch handles eliminate the need to bend or stretch. The product’s handles feature three grips that are designed to accommodate different heights and hand sizes. (973) 628-7600; www.maddak.com.

Wheelchair Cushion

The ROHO Group Inc, Belleville, Ill, offers the Contour Select wheelchair cushion, which combines a shaped design with the company’s adjustable ISOFLO Memory Control unit to provide postural control and stability. The cushion’s design positions the user’s pelvis back in the chair and centers them in the middle of the seat. The ISOFLO unit then locks air into each quadrant, which provides stability and minimizes side-to-side and back-and-forth motions. The product comes in a wide range of sizes, and also provides the skin protection found in the company’s other cushions. (800) 851-3449; www.therohogroup.com.

Foam Roller

Exertools, Novato, Calif, introduces the COMBO FOLLER, a foam roller designed to provide versatility with less space. A 4-inch x 36-inch inside a 6-inch x 36-inch foam roller gives the user more options without taking up more space. The product can be used as a 6 x 36 Foller, but when the user needs a small size, the 4-inch x 36-inch can slide out and be used separately. When finished, it can slide back in to recreate the 6-inch Foller. Exertools manufactures and distributes products to the fitness, therapeutic, and rehabilitation markets, and introduced the DYNADISC balance disc to the market. (800) 235-1669; www.exertools.com.
