EZ-ACCESS Provides Accessibility Solutions at Davis Rodeo Ranch
Ramp and accessibility manufacturer EZ-ACCESS has improved accessibility for Bull Riding Hall of Famer Jerome Davis and other bull-riding athletes and fans.
Last month, EZ-ACCESS said it installed ramps and viewing platforms at the Davis Rodeo Ranch in Archdale, North Carolina, “to provide PBR [Professional Bull Riders] legend and world champion bull rider Jerome Davis with unfettered access to his world-class ranch and training facility. These ramps and platforms have improved Davis’s accessibility and enhanced functionality for riders, staff and visitors at the ranch.”
“EZ-ACCESS has provided me with the mobility tools I need to continue mentoring riders,” said Davis, who sustained a high-level spinal cord injury while competing in 1998. “Their accessibility products allow me to move freely around the ranch, and the enhancements have truly made a difference in my ability to coach and train without barriers.”
Davis is the head coach of the Carolina Cowboys PBR team.
EZ-ACCESS — with corporate offices in Auburn, Washington, and Madison, Tennessee — manufactures residential, commercial and recreational products, including ramps, stairs and platforms that adhere to Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.
Drive DeVilbiss Launches Oxygen Concentrator for Low-Income Countries
Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare has launched the PulmO2 oxygen concentrator, which it described as “an innovative solution to improve access to oxygen therapy in low- and middle-income countries.”
In the Oct. 9 announcement, Drive DeVilbiss added that the PulmO2 addresses “a critical gap in health care,” including more than a million preventable deaths each year from hypoxemia, low oxygen levels in the blood.
The PulmO2 system uses up to 67% less electricity than other models, making it a better fit for regions where electricity is limited. The unit is also solar compatible; has a wide voltage range so it can work in various power environments; can work at high altitudes; and performs in extreme conditions, including high temperatures, high humidity, and dusty environments.
In creating the PulmO2, Drive DeVilbiss collaborated with Sanrai International, a New York-based medical device distributor that describes itself as “equalizing access to high-quality medical equipment around the world.”
