Planning ahead for surgery makes recovery easier and less stressful. Having the right supplies at home can help reduce pain, improve comfort, and give you more time to rest as your body heals.
Every recovery is different. Your doctor will provide instructions based on your procedure, age, and health. Still, many patients need extra support during the first few weeks after surgery. Preparing with essential post-surgery supplies ensures you are ready for a safer, smoother transition back home.
Lift chairs
Getting up from a standard chair or couch can be difficult after surgery, especially in the first two weeks. Straining to stand may risk stitches, staples, or balance. A power lift chair gently raises you to a standing position, reducing effort and lowering the chance of falls.
APA Medical offers Golden Technologies lift chairs, known for their craftsmanship, durability, and comfort. These chairs provide ongoing support well beyond the recovery period, making them a worthwhile investment in long-term safety and independence.
Bedside commodes
Mobility often decreases after surgery, making bathroom trips challenging. A bedside commode provides a safer alternative, especially at night. Many models can be positioned next to the bed or over a toilet for daytime use, minimizing the need to travel long distances.
APA Medical carries a variety of commodes designed to make recovery more comfortable and safe.
Mobility equipment
Energy and strength are often limited after surgery. Extra support from mobility equipment can make daily activities easier and reduce the risk of falls. Depending on your needs, options include:
- Wheelchairs for longer distances
- Rollators and walkers for added balance
- Scooters for safe indoor and outdoor mobility
- Ramps for easier home entry and exit
These tools help conserve energy and provide peace of mind during recovery.
Incontinence products
Temporary incontinence is not uncommon after surgery. Leakage may last for weeks or months, and having supplies ready at home makes it easier to stay comfortable and sanitary.
APA Medical offers a wide range of incontinence products, including bladder pads, pull-up underwear, briefs, chucks, wipes, and hygiene items. Keeping these supplies on hand can reduce stress and improve quality of life during recovery.
Therapeutic supplies
Small comforts can make a big difference when you are healing. Items such as back pillows, heating pads, or ace bandages can relieve soreness, support rest, and make recovery less overwhelming. APA Medical provides therapeutic supplies designed to ease pain and promote comfort throughout the healing process.
Rehabilitation equipment
When cleared by your doctor, rehabilitation tools can help restore strength and mobility. Equipment such as hand exercisers, therapy balls, pulleys, and light weights encourage safe movement and support long-term recovery goals. These supplies are often overlooked but can be critical in regaining independence after surgery.
