Castors have been in common use for decades now. You've used them on things like shopping carts all a long, and most likely thought really nothing of it. Just imagine if you had to shop at the local supermarket using just a basket with no castors on it?
So now perhaps it's a little easier to see why people everywhere are finding new ways to mobilize things in their day to day lives with castors. Their office chair of they use one at work, heavy furniture in their homes to make cleaning so much more easier and are also used in hospitals on vital medical equipment.
Now hospitals and clinic have been rolling things around for decades and more modern castors have made adapting them in all the easier to do. Not only are they far easier to attach but they come in a far wider selection of styles, and materials as well. For instance inflatable castors are now available in smaller sizes.
These smaller air filled castors are the perfect choice for home use medical equipment like beds and gurneys, anything that you plan on moving your friend or loved one around on. Air filled castors make for a far smoother movement with less jarring and bumps as well as being highly mobile.
Air filled castors can give freedom, comfort and mobility to those in most need. Air filled castors allow a carer to move their loved one or patient into other areas of a house or even outdoors more freely without the fear of causing damage or discomfort to the person. Without castors this wouldn't be possible.
You have to keep in mind that the more mobile you are with all that you need for care taking, not only is it better for the person you're caring for, but it's also better for you. It means that you can quickly bring things to where you need them rather than being posted in one area or station. Castors can allow a carer to be more self sufficient without the need for a second person or extra help with moving a patient or loved one.
As an example castors on items that you may not have even considered, like for instance your dining room table and chairs means that if need be you can move them to an area that is more convenient. In the end, the real bottom line is that in dealing with someone who has limited movement, adding mobility to the things around them can be a great solution and make life more comfortable.
