Medical doctors are in the field and study of medicine, not medical supplies. The medical equipment and supply industry can easily become a gray area once the doctor passes the ball us. Most companies specialize in a particular line of medical supplies,such as. wound care, ostomy care, bath equipment and so one. Some areas even overlap others. One of the main reasons why some companies choose to specialize in one area as oppose to another is because technologies and advancements of the industry change so rapidly until it would be virtually impossible for a small medical equipment company to keep abreast of the new happenings across every area.
Something as simple as a catheter can become very complicated if an unsuspecting consumer needed one . Let's say, for instance, your doctor prescribed you catheters. On your prescription he just wrote, " Catheters refill 30 times". We'll in the medical supply industry that could mean ANYTHING and it can be a nightmare as well. Did you know that there are literally thousands of sizes, colors, types, materials, quantities, and brands of catheters? We say all of this to say that, medical equipment is not just equipment, be informed about what's available.
