It happens to everyone: You head to the bathroom closet for a bandage or sterile gauze dressing, maybe antibiotic ointment or alcohol wipes or a fresh incontinence pad. Except when you find the box, it’s empty.
The local drug store doesn’t have the specific kind of product that you need (or even the type you prefer, or a selection to choose from). Ordering online will take at least a day; a shipment from a specialty medical supplier will take even longer. What do you do when you need to restock your medical cabinet ASAP? Head on over to Tampa home medical supply store Helios on Dale Mabry Highway.
In cases like these, waiting for disposable medical supplies is not an option. And delays or substitutions can even pose additional health risks. Helios HME has been serving the Tampa area, right here and in person, for more than 10 years, and our founder, Shawn Hall, has been serving Florida’s medical community for even longer.
When you need home medical equipment in Tampa, Helios is here for you.
Wound-Care Supplies
Wound-care supplies are a perfect example of the kind of single-use medical items that cannot be delayed or substituted. Wounds must be cleaned and dressings changed on a regular basis in order to promote healing and avoid infection. When you run out of any of these supplies, do not try to use substitutes. Head to Helios for wound supplies in Tampa.

Incontinence Supplies
The medical and emotional tolls of incontinence issues are too often overlooked. Improperly managed incontinence can lead to serious skin issues, bed sores, urinary tract infections, and kidney problems—not to mention serious psychological issues stemming from isolation and shame. It’s always important to have a full supply of effective, properly fitting incontinence supplies on hand, and for that you need a Tampa incontinence garments and pads supplier that carries a full range of sizes, brands, and products to suit your needs. (Remember, lifestyle, comfort, gender, body type, and preference all play a role in finding the products that work for you.)
- Properly fitting incontinence garments
- Pull-ups
- Briefs
- Liners
- Single-use incontinence pads
- Wipes
General/Miscellaneous Single-Use Home Medical Supplies
