Improve Your Quality of Life

Since 1985, Monroe Medical Supplies has been committed to delivering high-quality mobility devices to patients and caregivers across the United States. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for those in need by providing reliable, advanced medical products.

The Importance of Maintaining Healthy Blood Pressure

Maintaining a healthy blood pressure is crucial for overall health and well-being. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a significant risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and other serious health conditions. According to the American Heart Association, nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure, but many are unaware of it. Regular monitoring is vital because it allows individuals to detect and manage hypertension early, preventing complications and promoting long-term health.

The Benefits of At-Home Blood Pressure Monitoring

At-home blood pressure monitoring empowers individuals to take control of their health. It provides the convenience of regular checks without the need for frequent doctor visits. By keeping track of your blood pressure at home, you can observe trends, identify triggers, and make informed decisions about lifestyle changes and medication adjustments. This proactive approach can lead to better management of hypertension and improved overall health outcomes.

This model features Omron’s Advanced Accuracy technology, which helps ensure consistent and precise readings every time.

Each user can save up to 50 readings, providing a total of 100 readings stored in the device. This extensive memory storage helps you maintain a comprehensive record of your blood pressure history, which can be invaluable during medical consultations.

Switching from a Manual Wheelchair to a Power Chair: What to Consider Before You Make the Change

March 27, 2025

Consider Your Options Carefully For many individuals who rely on manual wheelchairs, the idea of transitioning to a power chair can be both exciting and overwhelming. While manual chairs offer independence and mobility, they also require a significant amount of upper body strength, stamina, and coordination. Over time—or as medical conditions evolve—a manual wheelchair may no longer be the most suitable or sustainable option. At Monroe Medical Supplies, we often hear from customers who are exploring the possibility of moving to a power wheelchair but aren’t sure whether it’s the right decision. If you’re in a similar position, here are some important factors to consider as you weigh your options.

Nebulizers vs Inhalers: Which Is Best for Respiratory Treatment?

March 20, 2025

Make the Right Choice For individuals managing chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, or COPD , the choice between a nebulizer and an inhaler can significantly impact treatment effectiveness and ease of use. Both devices deliver medication directly to the lungs, but they function in different ways. Understanding their differences—and determining which one best fits your health needs—can make breathing easier and treatment more effective. At Monroe Medical Supplies, we provide high-quality respiratory solutions, including the Voyage-II Compressor Nebulizer , a durable and effective option for those requiring aerosol medication therapy. What’s the Difference Between a Nebulizer and an Inhaler? Both nebulizers and inhalers are commonly prescribed for lung conditions, but their design and application vary: Nebulizers convert liquid medication into a fine mist, allowing the patient to breathe in the medication naturally through a mouthpiece or mask. They are often recommended for individuals with severe respiratory conditions, young children, or elderly patients who may struggle with using an inhaler properly. Inhalers, or metered-dose inhalers ( MDIs ), deliver a quick burst of medication through a handheld device. While inhalers are portable and convenient, they require proper technique, including precise timing and coordination to ensure medication reaches the lungs effectively.
