  1. Some Items Sold in a Medical Store

  2. A medical store actually has many different items for sale. Most people do not even realize these merchants have shops in their towns until they have someone in their family become ill and need some of the supplies these places stock. You generally cannot find the majority of items that are sold in a medical store available in other types of stores.

  3. A medical store generally carries oxygen related equipment for people who need oxygen therapy. The shop will likely have the tanks of oxygen, the rolling carts to move the bottle around easier, the hoses and tubes that are used to connect the patient to the oxygen bottle, and the face masks or nasal connections. The oxygen will require a prescription from a doctor, but the other supplies can likely be purchased without a prescription.

  4. A medical store will carry items like canes, walkers, wheelchairs, shower chairs, bedside toilet chairs, and all other devices that help people who have trouble walking on their own. They will have crutches and they usually have hospital beds available as well. Most of these items do not require a prescription to be purchased.

  5. You will be able to find the incontinence pads that are placed on the beds in these shops, along with the latex gloves that are worn by medical professionals to reduce the spread of germs. You will be able to get hand sanitizers, alcohol prep swabs, needles, catheters, and all of the supplies that are used to take care of a bedridden patient. You can find incontinence undergarments and creams and salves that are designed to help treat or prevent bedsores when a person is confined to a bed or wheelchair.

  6. Bandages that are designed for specific types of wounds are available in these shops. You will also find a large selection of colostomy equipment and supplies at the shops. When people have chronic medical conditions that require specific items to keep the comfortable and functioning as normally as possible these are the merchants that stock those items.

  7. Nurses buy many of their scrubs at these locations. You should also find things like the nursing clogs the health care professionals wear, and diabetic shoes and socks in these stores. People that work in the medical professions often have to buy their own stethoscopes, blood pressure equipment, and small medical devices like these. This is especially true of the individuals that do home health care jobs. They are able to buy all of the things they need to do their jobs at these locations.

  8. Some of the stores even rent some of the more expensive items as well as sell them outright. There are some people that need a hospital bed for only a short period of time, and the rentals of these pieces save those individuals a large sum of money. The shopkeeper will generally deliver and set up the pieces that you buy or rent from them. This way all medical devices can have their instructions explained in detail when they are delivered.
