Mobility medical products come in many forms, for a variety of uses and needs. I just read about a writing pen designed especially for left handed persons. How, you ask, does that constitute as a mobility medical item? Well……..what if you are normally a right hand dominate writer, and you just happen to fall and break your right wrist? What’s the chance of you having to write something while your right hand heals? Only about 100% chance, that’s all. Let’s do a little test right now. All you righties pick up a pen in your left hand and try signing your name to something. If you’re like me ,you are going to write something that looks like a first grader, at best. Would you believe that there are over a billion persons with a preference for using their left hand? That’s a huge number of people who have learned to adapt in a right handed world. The pen is regarded as mankinds’ most important tools, if I say so myself. Ever heard of the phrase, ‘ the pen is mightier than the sword ‘? If not, you have now. Not that you will ever have to fend off someone with a pen, I’ld still take the sword for that function.
The Swan Neck Pen is an amazingly simple design, which uses a patented S-bend neck, hence the Swan Neck designation. The pen is said to be easier to hold and can be picked up and used with zero learning curve. The goal of the inventor is to get the pen issued to schools as a standard piece of writing tool.
I personally thing that this new writing instrument should be made available at all nursing homes and Hospitals, as that’s where you’ll find the injured elderly in need of this mobility medical product. For those of you want to learn more about this neat new item, head on over to : www.swanneckpen.com
I think I’m going to get one, just in case I need it. You never know. It’s hell gettin’ old. They lied.
Talk to you soon.
Till we meet again, I am and you’re not.

I found a rather unique mobility medical product that I think you should know about. Typically this site is for products that ‘us’ elderly would benefit from, but this product is marketed to parents of new born babies. Now stay with me, as I read the article about this product I immediately thought this would be a perfect product for the elderly, and for that matter, just about anybody that is facing a medical emergency.
Think back for a moment to the last time you were faced with a true medical emergency….how clearly were you thinking? Probably not very, which is typical for the circumstance occurring. That’s why I thought this piece of medical equipment was ideal for medical emergencies.
This product is called the SafetyMate, marketed to parents of new borns, that in an emergency situation could have a hand-held device that contains first aid advice that would instruct them in what to do or perform in the way of medical attention. And the really cool part of this product is that once you open the lid to this hand-held device it starts TALKING. It’s a clever talking first aid device that gives essential health advice at the touch of the button.
SafetyMate begins speaking as soon as the lid is opened. The user selects one of the eight emergency buttons and is led through a sequence of yes/no questions with the most important first-aid information provided first. The user can then follow the first-aid steps depending on the particular health problem.
The unit provides advice on eight common health problems including CPR, burns, choking and allergic reactions. The eight emergency buttons lead the user to over 30 health issues.
Retailing at USD $60. the battery-operated unit is hand-held and lightweight (approx. 12 ounces) as well as water resistant. The unit contains a SD Flash Memory card and medical updates can be downloaded directly form the website : www.safetymate.com
