Setting the standards for PAP Therapy.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition that can impact a person's health physically, mentally, and socially. Most people who suffer from the effects of OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) find themselves unable to complete a full day of work or exercise without fighting to stay awake. Long distance traveling is limited by their ability to stay awake at the wheel. OSA has been linked to other conditions such as Hypertension, Diabetes Type 2, Coronary Artery Disease, Obesity, and some forms of cancer.
But there is good news for the one who suffers from this condition. CPAP therapy has been documented to show a vast improvement in the condition of those suffering from OSA. Many people have witnessed an improvement in sleep quality, energy level, and mental concentration since starting CPAP therapy. With a sense of renewed freedom a CPAP device brings, people have reclaimed their lives and health.
​

Setting the standards for Oxygen Therapy.
Oxygen Therapy is a service provided to those individuals with chronic lung conditions or breathing issues that cause oxygen levels to decrease during exercise, at rest, or even during activities of daily living. It is beneficial to those who are experiencing a conition called HYPOXIA where the body does not receive enough oxygen into the blood stream which leads to symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue/weakness, and sometimes even chest pain. Oxygen therapy has been shown to improve the quality of life for patients who have these symptoms and respiratory conditions by making sure they receive an adequate oxygen amount.
​
Traditionally, home oxygen therapy made mobility outside of the more difficult with the bulky oxygen equipment like oxygen tanks and carts. Today, with the advancement of technology, patients are able to ambulate more freely with portable oxygen concentrators. Thomas Medical Equipment offers these portable oxygen concentrators to patient who require additional support outside the home while they exercise, attend functions, or even medical visits with the primary care providers.
​
If you are one of those patients who require oxygen therapy and you are interested in seeing what we have to offer, please give us a call, we will be glad to demonstrate the ease of use of the systems we provide.
