Big Josh's Medical Stuff

Big Josh’s brings 20 years experience to the manufactures and distribution of unique, quality, med Big Josh's Medical Stuff - What’s in a name? Josh doesn’t.

Sometimes a lot, other times not so much. As people go, Josh isn’t really ALL that BIG - about 5’ 9” tall and about 165 pounds. And in his early 60s, he has yet to carve out a really huge business empire. So why do we call it Big Josh’s Medical Stuff. To begin with, we wanted it to be memorable, because that’s what Josh is. Some people talk about values like loyalty and commitment and perseverance. He just lives them every day. A career salesperson who really doesn’t like selling. An introvert who’s happiest when hiking the trails in the Colorado Rockies with his wife, or listening to books on tape; he has spent a lifetime in a profession which puts him smack in the middle of all kinds of people, clients and clinicians, on a regular basis. So again, why Big Josh? Because when it comes to his desire to create new products for people with needs, we’ve never met anybody with a bigger drive and a bigger heart. The Medical Stuff part comes from the fact that we are offering to the public (after almost four decades of being focused primarily on the Veteran’s Hospital community) is a pretty diverse offering. We have a raised toilet seat that’s not anything like the one you got for you Mom at the local drugstore. It’s made for people on wheelchairs who have very involved bowel programs. For you Mom it would be a waste of money, for those who need it, it’s a godsend. For someone who has to spend a long time (we’re talking months or longer here) lying on their stomachs, we make prone carts that can be powered to behave like a power when chair, only upside down, sort of. And gel, the very best arm pads ever put on a wheel chair happen to be a great idea for someone who works in an office and wants to kick up that office chair a notch or two with really great arms. So while we know we’re not for everyone, take a moment or two to see if we may just be for you, or someone you love. And if we are, we think our new name will make perfect sense to you.

Wheelchair Belts, Restraints, Harnesses, Chest Belt

Whenever a chest belt or other anterior trunk support is used, a hip belt should also be worn to prevent sliding.
Wheelchair users often require postural support devices (PSD’s) such as chest straps/harnesses to reinforce support and optimise function within the wheelchair seating system. This allows support in both the sagittal and coronal planes for stability of the wheelchair user in the wheelchair.
Chest Belt for Limited Hand Function
When considering an chest strap or harness it is vital to consider pressure distribution, the activity it is required for, and to monitor the impact a chest strap/harness may have on respiratory function for individuals with weakened muscles it should not hinder transfers or caregiver dependent interventions whilst in the wheelchair.
Use of these devices must be based on assessment, clinical need and grounded in a functional context. Anterior trunk support devices can optimise wheelchair user safety, stability and may be essential to allow for function and engagement in selected activities for improved quality of life.
Wheelchair belts come in a variety of sizes for different wheelchairs and better comfort for patients. Wheelchair belts are meant to protect the person who is seated in the wheelchair to prevent them from sliding or falling out of the wheelchair. When it comes to choosing the right wheelchair belt make sure that you pay attention to measurements so that it will fit correctly. Some wheelchair belts are padded for added comfort, while other belts are made like an average seatbelt in a car. For those who have a higher risk of sliding out of their wheelchair we also offer chest harness wheelchair belts.
Factors to Consider Before Purchasing a Wheelchair Chest Harness
A regular wheelchair seat belt does not come equipped with padding or cushion. It is strictly meant for just giving extra protection to the patient. If you decided to upgrade to a padded wheelchair belt then this will help not only give extra protection but also add comfort and prevent the belt from possibly causing irritation to the patient. With the chest harness wheelchair belt the patient is able to sit in a better, more comfortable position for better posture and they have less of a chance of developing back problems and falling out of their chair.
