Home Access
Redispan LLC, Redispan Ramp in a Box
Anyone who’s ever installed a home access
ramp will tell you it’s not easy. While the
initial calculations can be done on paper,
no two installs are alike, and there is always
some custom tweaking required. Also, the
assembly of the ramps can be dif cult,
involving lots of small parts, and having to
ip heavy ramp sections in order to build
them. The Ramp in a Box tries to make both assembly and handling the unexpected a little easier. Ramp in a Box tax a modular approach with decking slats that slide into rails, interlock into place, and then are bolted down to the side rail, rather than tack welded. This means fewer parts, easier delivery, and custom installs since the side rails (and thusly the ramp) can be modi ed in the eld.
Mobility – Power & Manual Wheelchairs
Quantum Rehab, Q6 Edge 2.0 with 12” iLevel
Quantum continues its iLevel success with
the Q6 Edge 2.0 with 12” iLevel, which
enables the power chair to drive up to 3.5
mph while fully elevated at 12”, improving
daily functionality and quality of life. iLevel’s
12” of lift allows most users to now elevate
to 5’6”-5’8” without increasing the seat-to-
oor height from 10” iLevel. Extra Stability Technology mechanically stabilizes the
power base when elevated for enhanced safety.
The increased lift height adds accessibility when participating in daily life activities and boosts environmental access. In addition, iLevel now comes with standard LED fender lights to enhance visibility.

Oxygen Concentrator
The 10L Oxygen Concentrator is an exercise in making a good thing even better. Built on Drive DeVilbiss’s 525DS, and using roughly approximately 80 percent of the same parts, the 10L Oxygen Concentrator (aka, the 1025DS) is 10 liter concentrator that pushes the envelope in terms of size and weight. Weighing in at 42lbs (excluding extra add-ons) the 1025DS produces 20 PSI via the outlet port, which permits high pressure Venturi masks and high volume nebulizers to be used. Other standard features include accessible patient controls, bright LEDs, protected cannula tting, integrated re stop oxygen outlet port, and a recessed humidi er nook round out some of the main features. Also, the 1025DS can also easily incorporate a compatible trans ll system, via the axillary oxygen port and compatible Trans ll Caddy. And at the same length, height and width,
the trans ll system compatible 1025DS can supply oxygen to a trans ll system, while also supplying up to 6 LPM of oxygen to a patient, all in a smaller footprint that the competition.

Pillows Mask
The Brevida nasal pillows mask
is designed for compliance and built for comfort. Compliance with CPAP therapy begins with a mask that ts and is comfortable, and to that end the Brevida features adjustable headgear
to deliver an individual t, and
the innovative AirPillow seal
which in ates to form a ‘pillow’
of air in and around the nose
for a gentle, effective seal. The
AirPillow is designed to be worn looser than other nasal pillows, which translates to less pressure
is required on the nostrils. As the air enters, the AirPillow in ates sealing in and around the bottom of the nose. The design of the side supports reduce the likelihood of seal dislodging during sleep. T the washable air diffuser prevents exit air from blowing out, which dramatically reduces noise and draft. And the Brevida’s design isn’t just being honored
in the industry, with awards such as ours. The mask recently earned the iF International Forum Design organization’s Product Design award.
