Medical expenses really add up, don’t they? The last thing you want to do is have to replace a piece of vital equipment because it broke, or stopped working, or simply wasn’t quite working for you. Worse still, you don’t want to be hampered by an issue with your equipment—especially one that can be easily remedied by a professional.
We don’t want you to have to replace equipment unnecessarily either. That’s why Helios HME offers equipment adjustments and repairs, to ensure you’re getting the most out of your medical supplies. (And bear in mind that many repairs may be covered by your insurance.)
Whether you’re in Pinellas, Hillsborough, or Pasco, if you’re in need of medical equipment repair, Tampa Bay-area residents and visitors can trust Helios.
What Kind of Repairs Does Helios Do for Medical Equipment in Tampa Bay?
Mobility Equipment Repair
Our biggest repairs for medical equipment here come in service of the most vital (and often, most expensive and complex) machines: mobility equipment.
Not only does Helios sell and rent wheelchairs, scooters, rollators and walkers for Tampa-area patients, we also offer repairs for these items.
Our most common mobility equipment repairs are:
- Brake repairs for rollators
- Wheelchair tire replacement
- Battery replacement for electric wheelchairs and scooters
However, we’re not limited to these repairs. Our in-store experts deal with these machines all the time, and we’re happy to help diagnose issues and fix them if they’re within our scope.
Additional Medical Equipment Repair
As we all know, medical equipment is a broad category. Things that can go wrong with medical equipment is even broader. Our additional repair offers include replacing batteries for large items like patient lifts as well as smaller, battery-powered machines.
We also can replace old or broken parts in order to preserve the larger whole. Whether it’s cane tips, padding for crutches, or other parts, our in-store options and service are by far the most convenient and immediate way to fix your HME.
Why Does Medical Equipment Need Sizing and Adjustment?
You may think you need a new cane or rollator when in fact you simply need the item sized or adjusted to fit your body. Improperly adjusted HME, especially when it comes to mobility support, can cause a number of issues like pain, gait and posture problems, and even fall risks—all problems that your mobility equipment is designed to avoid.
While you should always consult your physician about problems with your health, at our store, we’re able to demonstrate the various options for adjustments that are available on many items. In some cases, these options aren’t obvious or intuitive. Additionally, certain equipment adjustments require fine motor skills and strength that not everyone can manage.
In-Store HME/DME Repairs in Tampa
The bottom line is that there are some medical equipment services that simply can’t be handled by an online supplier. Helios offers more than medical supplies. We offer in-person services like repairs and adjustments that can make a huge difference in quality of life.
