PAEDIATRICS – AIDS FOR CHILDREN
Children are the smallest and most vulnerable members of our society. Because we love children and only want the best for them, we make sure that with our paediatric therapeutic products, we are supporting paediatric care in the best way possible and that we are encouraging handicapped children, through our aids, in their development, mobility and urge to explore as far as we possibly can. We want children with disabilities and limitations to be able to discover the world as well.
AIDS FOR CHILDREN
Movement is essential. It is important not only for physical fitness and agility but also has close links with cognitive and social skills. Movement in younger years is of particular significance. If this is limited, then it is even more important to use technical aids to give children and young people with disabilities or reduced mobility the highest levels of encouragement and support. Children want to be “grown up and independent”. An aid which is specially adapted to their needs gives them the opportunity to do this. Discovering the world means that you also improve your cognitive and social skills at the same time. A nice “side effect”, which is so important for the development of your child. We will be happy to support you with our products and the expertise as well.
WALKERS AND GAIT TRAINERS FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE
Walking and moving strengthen the muscles, thanks to walkers, children with limitations and disabilities can develop their motor skills as well.
Walkers, also called gait trainers, which have been developed specially for children and young people, are a major challenge for rehab technicians. This is because they must fit perfectly, and at the same time they must grow with the child in the best way and should also not limit the child in their urge to move. The child’s existing resources should be challenged and supported in the best possible manner
Our children’s walkers offer mobility and flexibility for your child. Thanks to accessories and different sizes, they can be adapted to meet the individual needs of your child. As if by magic, put a smile on your child’s face with children’s walkers from Drive DeVilbiss. Aids can make this happen. Why? Because a walker can help to increase independence and freedom. This creates a new attitude towards life for all involved.
To find the best possible equipment for your child, contact your local Medical and Healthcare Supplies store, you can be confident of receiving expert advice.

BATHING AIDS FOR HANDICAPPED CHILDREN
Bathing aids are used for children who have limited mobility. They make care easier for parents and give the child protection and security.
Bath and shower supports can be positioned safely in the bath or under the shower. The child’s body is supported by the bath support. The carer’s hands remain free. In this way accidents and slip injuries are avoided. The height-adjustable frame protects the carer’s back when washing the child. The adjustable back support provides additional relief for the child.
Children love water. So that bathing and showering becomes a pleasure for all involved, we have developed our Otter children’s bath support. With this aid, you and your child can relax and enjoy bathing or showering safely. The Otter children’s bath support is available in different sizes and has base frames for baths and showers. In this way it is versatile, can be expanded flexibly and can be used for any age. Bathing pleasure can safely begin.
WHO IS A BATHING AID DESIGNED FOR?
A bathing aid such as a children’s bath support is designed for children who need care, who suffer from insufficient trunk control or paralysis in the legs. They are to keep the child safe but also make things easier for the carer. Never exceed the maximum user weight for the bed under any circumstances. This information can be found in the technical specification of the product.
ARE TECHNICAL AIDS FOR CHILDREN PAID BY HEALTH INSURANCE?
In Germany, statutory health fund members are entitled to aids if prescribed by the doctor. As a result, even minors are entitled to suitable children’s aids if they compensate for a disability or support rehabilitation and development. Use the prescription issued by your doctor to apply for the children’s aids from your health insurer. Up to their 18th Birthday there is no need to pay. However should you decide on a higher quality children’s aid, then it depends on your health insurance as to whether they pay these additional costs or whether you have to pay them yourself. You should therefore get in touch with your insurance in advance
WHY ARE AIDS IMPORTANT FOR MY CHILD?
Aids for children are adapted specially to their needs. Children’s aids can support children with disabilities, chronic diseases, handicaps and reduced mobility in their development. Aids will help your child to be as independent as they are able to be. This is an extremely important factor, not only for the physical, but also the mental and cognitive development of your child.
Trust in a reliable partner for your children’s aids
Children grow quickly. Good care with the right children’s aids is therefore a significant challenge. We have accepted this challenge. And it is our great pleasure!
