Rollator
Rollator is a four-wheeled rolling walker equipped with hand brakes, a padded seat, and a storage pouch, designed for patients who can walk but need balance support and the option to rest. Unlike standard walkers, the rollator rolls continuously and does not require a lift-and-step gait, making it more intuitive and less fatiguing for many patients.
Rollators are height-adjustable and available in standard, junior, and bariatric sizes. OxyCare supplies rollators alongside a full range of mobility aids, and rental is available for patients in recovery or with changing mobility needs.
