Equipment (DME)

What Is DME?

Durable medical equipment is prescribed by your doctor to aid in treatment, mobility, or daily activities. These tools are built for long-term use and play an important role in recovery and overall health management.

DME may be recommended after orthopedic surgery, during rehabilitation, or as part of a long-term treatment plan for conditions affecting mobility, strength, or stability.

DME helps support patients experiencing symptoms or conditions, such as:

  • Difficulty walking, standing, or bearing weight
  • Joint instability or weakness
  • Recovery from orthopedic surgery
  • Arthritis or other degenerative joint diseases
  • Chronic pain or mobility limitations
  • Fractures or sprains
