durable medical equipment

Durable Medical Equipment (DME) refers to medical devices and supplies that are designed for repeated use, intended to help individuals manage their health conditions or recover from illness or injury. Examples include wheelchairs, crutches, hospital beds, oxygen tanks, and glucose monitors. These items are built to be safe, reliable, and provide ongoing support for daily activities or medical needs. DME is typically prescribed by healthcare providers and may be covered by insurance plans, helping patients maintain mobility, independence, and quality of life at home or in healthcare settings.
