Must Gums Recede As We Age?
9. February 2010

Do you believe that gums must recede as we age? If you do, then it might seem natural to you to lose teeth. I have known people in their late 80’s and I am surprised to see that they still have their complete set of teeth. They say that they have been very cautious when it comes to the food they intake and with proper home care.
Funny how some elderly would stick out their dentures and scare their grand children away - happy bonding time with the family, something really worth reminiscing. But do you know that there is more to life than just making the children in your family have a good time when they see you play with your dentures? Besides brushing and flossing, have you tried the hydrofloss yet?
Perhaps you are making it appealing to them so that they tend to like the idea or at least accept that they would lose their teeth one by one. I have actually asked a child who had his first permanent molar extracted at the age of 12. Imagine how many years more he has to live without his first molar. This does not bother him as he is actually enjoying the idea that he may soon wear dentures. Wouldn’t it be better to use a mouthwash like therabreath?
Some patients sound weird as they talk to the receptionist that they are having several incisors extracted due to little discolorations. I thought to myself, I am so fortunate to have mine complete never having to undergo multiple extractions and never ever considering having one. Essential oils, like those in Oramd may be helpful.
And I realized that the greatest secret of the successful ones is that they meticulously cared for their teeth throughout their lifetime. You don’t have to lose your teeth as you grow old. Gum recession does not have to be part of the aging process.
Learn more about what you can do to prevent or stop gum disease.
Disclaimer: If you have or think you might have gum disease or any other health problem, please visit your doctor or periodontist for advice, diagnosis and treatment.

Transport Wheelchair | Hospital Transport Chair Improves on Age-Old Design

Transport Chair | Hospital Transport Chair Improves on Age-Old Design
There is now a modern hospital transport chair design that is a dramatic improvement on the classic, standard wheelchair. Built from the ground up with the needs and input of the mobility impaired, caregivers, doctors and institutional attendants in mind, hospital transport chairs are now available which overcome many of the problems and limitations which have been passed down since the first commercial wheelchairs became available.
The modern wheelchair has origins going back all the way to the 16th century. Designed for a monarch of Spain, these so-called “invalid chairs” were heavy, wooden affairs, modeled after wing-backed chairs, either to keep the patient warm or to keep the occupant from falling out. Wheels were added later, with initial attempts having larger wheels in front and smaller wheels in back. In the 18th and 19th centuries, attempts were made to build wheelchairs from wicker; however, this proved impractical, as wicker, while much lighter than wood, is not strong enough to stand up to everyday use.
What we now know as the standard, x-brace wheel chair was developed after Herbert Everest, a mining engineer, became paraplegic after a 1919 mining accident. Dissatisfied with the available chairs, Everest worked with friend and mechanical engineer Harry Jennings to design and build a lighter, more practical, folding wheelchair design. Forming a company, Everest & Jennings, the partners began manufacturing and selling the first commercially-available wheelchairs. By 1973, sixty years later, the company had manufactured its 1 millionth chair.
From 1933, when the first x-brace wheelchairs went on the market, through the late 1990s, hospital transport wheelchairs had hardly changed. While a vast improvement over wooden or wicker chairs, standard, folding wheelchairs still have inherent issues, especially where patient transfer is concerned. Mechanical engineers, working with healthcare providers, patients and patient transport experts, decided to take a fresh look at the problem.
The resulting design does away with many of the problems of standard wheelchairs. Rather than using the arm rests as integral parts of the chair, like some hold-over from antique wing backed chairs, the arm rests lift and move completely out of the way. This allows for patient transfer without the need to lift the patient physically out of the chair. Instead, the patient may simply be moved directly from the side of the chair to hospital bed or exam table.
Instead of attempting to make one type of chair fit both attended and self-propelled use cases, the engineers decided to focus on a chair intended exclusively for hospital transport use. The chair they built is designed to be pushed, and because of this, it has been engineered to stand taller, with a higher push-bar at the back. This allows for continuous transports, without the attendant or volunteer becoming fatigued. Additionally, the designers took into account the traditional wheelchair’s manual braking system and replaced it with an automatic system. When the transporter takes his or her hands from the push bar, the chair stops.
Rugged, durable, strong and light, these new hospital transport chairs are ages ahead of the old-fashioned wheelchairs of yesteryear.

Transport Chairs | There Is Much Vital Wheelchair Equipment
9. February 2010

When Raymond Burr played Detective Ironside in the eponymous show back in the 60s, it was just him, his wheelchair and his faithful assistant. By and large, fictionalized use of wheelchairs in television and movies still follows that rule today. There is virtually no mention or consideration of wheelchair equipment. This makes for easier filming, but leaves people whose primary awareness of this mode of transport, largely ignorant of the accoutrements that may need to be incorporated in even the most temporary use.
Wheelchair equipment does not need to be complicated, but it can be essential and therefore needs to be taken into consideration when looking into purchasing transport chairs for institutional use. Many standard brands only have the most basic equipment necessary to use the chair. This is clearly insufficient.
One of the goals of this essential equipment for hospitals, airports and shopping malls should be the ease of accessorization. For example, if an airline passenger who requires a transport chair to progress through the airport, the wheelchair should not only be able to carry the person, but easily hold an oxygen tank or other necessities. Not all standard chairs do, because it is assumed that they will be customized as needed by the owner and are not geared toward the idea of meeting the needs of temporary passengers.
In addition to items such as oxygen tanks, wheelchair equipment can include IV holders, cushions, seatbelts – even pediatric seatbelts. These can and should be standard in models used in hospital or other care setting. While most people who are traveling with IVs are not doing so aboard commercial carriers, the addition of seatbelts for both adults and children could be incredibly useful in non-medical settings such as airports, libraries and shopping malls.
While we have often not considered the need for a security belt in most wheelchairs, even something moving at the speed of the person pushing it can come to a sudden stop, and institutional liability is vastly reduced if the occupant is securely in the transport chair. An auto braking function is something else that should be standard,
Other features lacked by most of the models used in institutional setting are things that seem to be only commonsense. Many people with mobility issues also have circulatory problems, as the two go hand in hand. In recent years there has been much in the news about thrombosis, where a blood clot develops from the legs remaining too long in a sitting position and ultimately travels into the heart or lungs. The simple addition of elevated leg rests can allow the occupant to make sure that their circulation remains unimpeded and prevent the formation of such potentially fatal clots.
Wheelchair equipment includes not only features for the safety and comfort of the occupant – although that is certainly primary – but also with the security of the chair itself. A nestable transport chair that can be securely locked using a coin return or other method is far less prone to theft than standard models. The additions of a nameplate with a traceable serial number make theft even less likely or profitable. Addition of this wheelchair equipment therefore leads to a much more secure and inexpensive product.

Transport Chair | New Options for Advanced Patient Transportation

Transport Chair | New Options for Advanced Patient Transportation
With ergonomic seating, folding armrests and high weight capacity, there are new options now available for advanced patient transportation. The design of the standard wheelchair is more than seven decades old. Imagine what the world would be like if automobile design, aircraft design, medical devices, even kitchen appliances, had stopped advancing in the early 1930s. Such a thought is nearly inconceivable, and yet, this is the state of the standard, manual wheelchair used in many modern hospitals. Doctors wouldn’t think of putting patients into a 1930s era X-ray machine, but still put patients into what is essentially the same transport device as was used by their grandparents or great-grandparents.
The standard wheelchair, while serviceable, requires many compromises. They are not particularly comfortable for the patient. They fold, which makes them easy targets for theft. There are many moving parts which can wear and break. They are uncomfortable for the attendant to push. The patient must be physically lifted over the arm rests. They require the user or attendant to set a manual brake when parked. The standard wheelchair is also difficult to store, even when folded, leading to impaired traffic flow.
For advanced patient transportation, non-folding, specially built transport chairs are ideal. Features such as an ergonomic steel frame, retracting arm rests and seat belts, an easy to push, maneuverable design for attendants and an automatic braking system are key.
For easy transfer of patients, select a design with retracting arm rests and a higher seating position. This allows the attendant to move the patient directly from the transport chair to exam table, gurney or hospital bed from the side, without having to lift the patient. No-lift side transfer means greater comfort for the patient and for the attendant, as it requires less effort to move the patient from the chair.
Using smaller wheels in front and back, rather than having oversized wheels at the rear, also allows for much greater maneuverability of the chair. Smaller, caster-type wheels allow the transport chair to turn on its own length, making it easier to move around in tight spaces.
In addition to greater maneuverability, well-designed transport chairs are much easier for the attendant or hospital volunteer to move. A single push bar, rather than dual, rear-facing push handles, allow the attendant to stand in a more upright, natural position. This, in turn, makes pushing the chair more comfortable, reducing the potential of injury and increasing the number of transports an attendant can make in a single shift.
An automatic braking system is also a great benefit. In the standard wheelchair design, the attendant or patient must remember to manually set a brake. By integrating the braking system into the single push bar, the brake automatically engages when the attendant removes his or her hands.
Finally, utilizing a no-fold design, rather than the standard x-brace folding design, makes transport chairs much more difficult to steal. A non-folding, steel frame chair will not fit into a car’s trunk, reducing cost through loss to the institution.
