We live in perilous times when hospitals announce full capacity and turn down patients. We saw people scramble to purchase medical supplies to provide the best home care for their loved ones.
As the Delta variant threatens yet another COVID-19 surge in the country, it is prudent now more than ever to invest in your safety, security, and peace of mind. Save yourself from panic attacks when supplies inevitably run out. But don’t just buy from the first seller you encounter on the e-market that peddles purportedly quality medical supplies.
Medical Depot, the one-stop medical shop, is now open at Robinsons Galleria, their first mall outlet. Medical Depot has been supplying the medical needs of hospitals, doctors, clinics, and diagnostic centers for more than 30 years. Starting in Bambang, Manila, with 16 employees in 1991, it now has 150 employees and 16 branches.
JR Medina, Medical Depot CEO and President shares- “I am just so happy that it happens to be Robinsons Galleria, the very first mall to open for our expansion project. If I may share, Medical Depot always had a very close relationship with Robinsons Malls. They were among the very first to work with us and accommodate us during the height of the pandemic. They went above and beyond by providing us with the best location as possible for our new format, and even working with is during weekends.”
Today, as the company expands to the mall for the first time, high-quality medical supplies become more accessible to everyone. Medical Depot offers premium products at lower prices. Encounter familiar home brands like Omron and Indoplas. COVID-19 has changed the way we shop and what we shop.
An affordable oxygen concentrator for the family is finally within reach in a portable new design. Oxygen concentrators are now one of the most sought-after devices for oxygen therapy during home isolation. When there is a shortage of oxygen and oxygen cylinders, an oxygen concentrator is a good alternative. It works by filtering and concentrating oxygen molecules from the ambient air to provide patients with 90-95 percent pure oxygen. It does not need refilling and can provide oxygen 24 hours a day. Perfect for emergencies while a patient waits for admission to a hospital.
The shop also offers oxygen tanks ranging from 5, 15, 20 to 50 pounds and oxygen regulators, another must-have for your home-care isolation room.
Ventilator machines are available – hospital-grade and for home. Ventilators support or take over the breathing process by pumping air into the lungs. Pre-pandemic, patients were admitted to the ICU to access ventilators. Today, patients with severe cases of COVID-19 need ventilators. Anyone experiencing respiratory failure needs a ventilator, including stroke patients, lung disease, spinal cord injury, head injury, sudden cardiac arrest, polio, pneumonia, sepsis, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Medical Depot has three kinds of pulse oximeters. A pulse oximeter is an electronic device you clip to your finger to measure heart rate and oxygen saturation in your red blood cells. An oximeter is a helpful gadget in assessing patients with lung disease. Since the pandemic, pulse oximeters became standard devices in homes to ease anxiety. A low oxygen level can be a sign of COVID-19 (95 percent above is considered normal). It is helpful to know your baseline as changes can be a non-COVID pulmonary problem, like undiagnosed asthma or pneumonia.
There are gloves and face masks too. These are hypoallergenic disposable, non-woven three-ply face masks with adjustable nose bar high filtration. Besides, disposable medical face masks are better than those made of cotton or polyester. Non-woven fabric is more effective at blocking COVID-19 through airborne respiratory droplets.
Medical Depot carries branded and generic medicines and has almost all medical products needed for homes, clinics, diagnostic centers, and hospitals. You don’t need to hop from one store to another in search of your medical needs. Medical Depot is Your One-Stop Medical Shop.
Hospital equipment is available, including X-Ray machines — stationary, portable and mobile types. There is rescue equipment as well, like the emergency spine board, stretchers, emergency extrication device that provides immobilization and comfort with a built-in plywood spine board along the back.
