Post Op Mobility Supports (POMS)
The Post-Op Mobility Supports, or POMS, provides temporary use of portable bed rails and easy-stand chair assist to facilitate easier transfer from the bed or a seated position following abdominal surgery. POMS is designed to alleviate pain, prevent injury, and promote independence while recovering from any type of abdominal surgery. POMS allows patients to use the equipment in their home for 6 to 8 weeks or as long as needed without the expense and waste of purchasing equipment when only needed for a short time.
