Safe Ambulation
Ambulation Shorts
MedCo Technology Ambulation Shorts let caregivers support a patient through early mobility and ambulation tasks while reducing fall risk for the patient and injury risk for the caregiver. Available in Single Patient Disposable and Apex Reusable fabrics — the Apex Reusable engineered to withstand more than 200 standard washes — both contouring to the body without binding or bunching.
Placement & Fit
Fitted at the bedside, adjusted in seconds
MedCo Technology Ambulation Shorts are shorts. Putting them on is a dressing task. For many patients that makes placement part of the therapeutic engagement, an opportunity to participate in their own care rather than have it done for them.
More dependent patients may need a caregiver to place the shorts, either seated or lying in bed. For placement in bed, caregivers typically position them using Slide Sheets, reducing the shear and friction of manual repositioning during application.
Custom tension buckles let the caregiver fine-tune the fit for comfort and stability. Integrated storage pockets contain the straps during placement and removal, and once the shorts are in use those same pockets assist with tension and provide support at the chest and back.
Clinical Compatibility
Built for real clinical conditions
Early mobility rarely happens under ideal conditions. MedCo Technology Ambulation Shorts accommodate indwelling catheters and feature open sides for patients with multiple lines or drains without restricting clinical access. The fabric is engineered to resist the riding up, binding, and bunching that create painful pressure areas during ambulation.
Multiple strap attachment points connect to hook and loop overhead or portable floor lifts, walking frames, and ambulation systems with loop attachment points — including the MedCo Technology Gantry, which brings overhead lift coverage to any care area without permanent installation.
Please note that MedCo Technology Ambulation Shorts are authorized for sale to supervised clinical settings.
