Four
wheeled walkers
Nordic Care Services supplies a comprehensive range of Swedish, high quality, ergonomically correct four-wheeled rollators (walkers). These are widely used in Sweden as part of that country's successful Fall Prevention programme.
Walkers are generally prescribed as soon as a gait or balance impairment problem is diagnosed. They are designed to be used both indoors and outdoors, and to suit users of every size and suffering from a wide variety of ailments, such as: osteoporosis; arthritis; MS; Parkinson's disease; etc. There are general purpose and specialsit models within the range available.
A large variety of accessories for the various walkers are also available to make everyday life easier and safer for the user.
Shown on the left is the Dolomite Alpha specialist walker with gutter handles. It is height adjustable, and includes a strong, comfortable folding seat.
Snap-on
crutch and stick holder
Falling walking sticks and crutches are a major cause of falls, fractures and other accidents - the Snap-on system is a simple, cost-effective means of ensuring that essential support is kept safely close to hand.
Snap-on functions with the help of a small magnet which is embedded in a Velcro fitting for attachment to a stick or crutch.
With a simple metal clip that fits into pockets, the stick and/or crutch can readily be attached to the user’s clothing. In addition, small or larger magnetic fixing plates are available so that the stick or crutch can be safely parked in strategic areas around the home or in institutions.
With its built-in magnet, Snap-on will naturally attach to metal objects, such as the car door, fridge, cooker, radiator, etc, keeping the stick close by when the user's hands are otherwise occupied, and thus reducing the risk of accidents.

Showerchairs
The Etac Clean (left) is the ultimate shower and hygiene chair for environments where infection control is imperative.
An innovative and award-winning design, it features a unique single steel tube design which does not rust.
Shown here is the attendant assisted model: the Clean is also available in a self-propelled version, with 24" rear wheels. It is well balanced and easy to operate, with brakes that are easily accessible, without being in the way when you make a sideways transfer.
Self-propelling wheels are also available as a kit to adapt an existing attendant assisted Clean chair.
These are part of a wide range of shower and commode chairs and stools available from Nordic Care to suit all environments.
