Top Ten Medical Products Sold by Rehabmart.com in 2010!

The end of the year brings about a flurry of Top 10 lists.  I'm sure you saw them and you know what I'm talking about.  For example, the end of year lists like the 'Top10 Cars of the Year' or the 'Top10 Sport Plays of the Year' or the 'Top10 Movies of the Year' or even the 'Top10 Surfer Bikini Babes of the Year' (OK, I made the last one up).

Well, get ready for the latest, greatest, most talked about top ten list of 2010!  On top at #1 on the list in the 'Top10 Lists of the Year' list.

I feel the anticipation building. People are getting anxious and excited like a five year old child waiting for Christmas morning.  The major Internet news feeds are on stand-by waiting for this unveiling of the much anticipated list of lists. The President of the United States, the Queen of England, Bill Gates, and Oprah are also all waiting for the outcome of The List.

The wait is over.

So, without further ado, let me introduce to you 'The Top Ten Medical Products Sold by Rehabmart.com in 2010' list!

I know, I know, I'm excited too and I know the outcome!

Number 10:  The Swedish Ankle Foot Orthotic. This isn't just your average ankle foot orthotic device.  This might have been made in Sweden by someone named Eric Johansson..or not.  But, this ankle foot orthotic does provide a more flexible, light support for people suffering from foot drop and can be worn with regular shoes.

                                                                

It also features a low arch and open heel design that limits skin breakdown and provides static dorsi-flexion assistance and lateral stability.  The padding on the calf section provides comfort, and the 2 inch wide Velcro ankle strap secures the splint.  Sounds great, and you don't have to be Swedish to enjoy it!

Number 9:  The Open Air Stax Finger Splint. With these see-through finger splints, now when someone spies you wearing a splint and asks you what happened, you can just show them what a broken finger looks like.

 

                                                                  

These finger splints come in clear plastic which permits examination of the injured fingertip and nail bed.  The perforations help prevent skin maceration and increase comfort, which can improve compliance for quicker recovery.  It also protects the distal phalanx and extends the DIP joint. I can hear the chants starting already... "When asked what happened, don't you linger! Show the world your broken finger!"

Number 8:  The Norco Soft MP Ulnar Drift Support. I know that this sounds like it has something to do with the theory of continental drift that was first proposed in 1915 by the German geologist and meteorologist Alfred Wegener which states that parts of the Earth's crust slowly drift atop a liquid core.  But no, this product is more important than that, this ulnar drift support device supports the MP joints which allows the fingers to move for functional use while maintaining neutral alignment of the MP joints in rheumatoid arthritis. 

                                                       

It also has neoprene which provides warmth and stronger support.  The fabrifoam provides comfortable support that won't slip, unlike some old crusty drifting continents.

Number 7:   Soft Shell Helmets.  I realize your first thought about soft shell helmets is that these are made for the Soft Shell Crab Football League, but you would be mistaken. Soft shell crabs play soccer, not American football.
Actually, these helmets are really soft shell protective, light helmets that weighs on the average only 8 ounces, and is fully ventilated without compromising head coverage.  No hardware is used anywhere on the foam shell, so the facial area does not come into contact with anything hard or uncomfortable. 
                                                         

They are constructed from 1/2" thick shock absorbing foam that retains compression resistance and does not break down even with multiple impacts.  These are great for children or adults who may have balance problems but are not recommended for football use, human or crustacean.

Number 6:  The Playmaker Soft Protective Helmet.  The person who is considered a playmaker is usually the most active individual so they should get a different protective helmet, right?  Well, maybe, but for sure this protective helmet is designed for wear by children or adults who have balance disabilities, head/skull injuries, or seizures. 

                                                                             

The unique web shell of this helmet provides both comfort and safety.  It is made with 3/8-inch thick EVR rubber foam that absorbs and then disperses the energy throughout the headgear which ensures total protection and reduces the chance of serious head injury.  Adjustable laces at the back of the helmet help achieve a custom fit.  The lightweight, breathable, hand washable design prevents perspiration build-up and odors.  And it looks pretty cool too!

Number 5:  High Backed Swing Seats.  Who doesn't like to fly through the air with the greatest of ease?  Actually, I found out that my cat doesn't, but most everybody else does!  Now everybody who's anybody can get on a swing and fly in the sky.  This high-backed swing seat provide a supported ride for the individual.  The seat incorporates a pommel and a safety harness with snap buckles.

                                                        

Also for an added appreciative difference, the seat offers an inch more room all around.  The UV resistant seats are molded from high-density polyethylene, a strong but soft plastic.  Now just about any child can crow like a bird and pretend he or she is flying while at the same time giving mom and dad a bit of safety reassurance.


Number 4:  The Comfort Cool Thumb Spica Splint.  Is it cool to wear a splint?  It is when you are wearing this one.  Besides comfort, coolness is also part of this package (cool sunglasses not included).  You can easily create a custom fit for comfortable support with this splint.  For a custom fit, the insert should be molded by a hand therapist (not a do-it-yourself splint).  It seems that if you are in pain and are spending money on a splint to help you relieve the pain and discomfort, doesn't it make sense to get it fitted correctly?

                                                                             

Number 3:   Posey Knitted Heel and Elbow Protectors .  I realize that the heel bone isn't connected to the elbow bone but at times they both need protection from the surrounding hard surfaces that mean them harm.  Protect and serve are what these heel and elbow protectors do well. These comfortable sock-like coverings provide comfort and protect the heels and elbows of the world from friction and shear forces. 

                                                           

They are made from a latex-free flexible stretch weave material and have a cushioned foam pad sewn to the inside.  The expandable sleeve is easily removable and helps keep extremities warm without restricting blood circulation.  The contoured soft-open cell foam pad is conveniently located on the bony prominences of the heel and elbow, allowing ventilation for the skin to breathe.

Number 2:  The LMB Air Soft Resting Hand Splint .  In spite of the name of the product, this is not made for people with tired hands who are trying to find a place to rest them.  What this hand splint does is support the fingers, thumb and wrist in a functional, resting position with simple adjustment of the wrist and thumb.  Ok, I guess a person could use this to put their tired hand in, but once again, not the main reason to use this.  This is intended for people who have or need Post-Surgery / Injury Positioning, Wrist Drop and Finger FlexionTightness. 

                                                       

Please remember that this is not recommended for people with moderate to severe spasticity.
This hand splint is made with a malleable aluminum frame which allows for static progressive splinting in different positions.  It also has a self-wicking liner that helps to control perspiration.

And now, the biggest selling medical product from Rehabmart.com in 2010.

Number 1:  The Comfort Cool Thumb CMC Restriction Splint .  What a comfortably cool choice!  This thumb restriction splint is specifically designed for osteoarthritis and medial subluxation of the thumb CMC joint. I mean, what else do you need?  This is why this is the number one medical product sold by Rehabmart in 2010!  This number one seller has a unique strap that surrounds the thumb for extra support which is made of 1 /16 inch perforated neoprene with a terry cloth liner to help keep skin cool and comfortable. 

                                                        

It helps to provide light compression to reduce thumb pain. The contoured strap surrounds the thumb CMC joint and first metacarpal for direct joint support. The splint also allows full hand function to encourage compliance.  This is ideal for CMC joint arthritis and/or instability, tendonitis and thumb discomfort associated with repetitive motion.  Thumb sleeve supporting the MP joint can be cut away for a better fit.
