BiWaze Cough

BiWaze Cough provides an assisted cough therapy. This therapy mimics a natural cough for people who are unable to have a productive cough on their own. Assisted cough therapy can be used to remove secretions instead of invasive suctioning. The PAP on Pause feature has been proven to help patients maintain lung volume after therapy, especially ventilator dependent patients. The unique dual blower design of BiWaze Cough provides a more comfortable cough therapy and removes secretions more effectively.

GentleCath Air for Men

Additionally, there is less residual mess as a result of FeelClean Technology.

A Handling Sleeve offers controlled use and reduces the risk of contamination. Additionally, men can use the Handling Sleeve to easily twist and tuck the used catheter back into the resealable pouch for discreet disposal.GentleCath Air™ with FeelClean™ Technology offers gamechanging relief and helps men have a confident, comfortable, and clean cathing experience.

DMEPOS Retailer Certification

There is a potential gap in quality for retailers that are not billing Medicare and so are not required to attain CMS-approved DMEPOS accreditation. From the retailer perspective, this certification program helps standardize quality processes and services at a DMEPOS organization, ensuring safety for a provider’s customers. From the customer’s perspective, the certification enables them to make better choices when buying online or in the provider’s store. They see the Exemplary Provider Certification logo on a provider’s website or in their store window and feel secure that a provider’s processes have been certified by a nationally recognized third party.
