Our
power mobility items are designed to enhance the lives of people who
want a power chair or scooter that provides superb operating control
and comfort. We carry 2 lines of power mobility products: Summit DME's
own line and the C.T.M. line. While the capabilities of the two lines
are similar, the differences are in specific features, design, and
overall style. Either line is well suited for both indoor and outdoor
use.
We carry a variety of power wheelchair models: shroud
models with standard and heavy-duty use with seat widths from 16"up
thru 24".
|
| We also offer a variety
of scooters in a 3-wheel or 4-wheel style. These are equipped standard
with many extra features built-in and further customizations available.
They are a smart choice for moving around the neighborhood in safety
and comfort.

Summit DME wheelchairs are
designed to meet the demands of people with different needs. Not only
do we offer standard and companion wheelchairs, we also carry hemi
and heavy-duty ones. Our reclining wheelchair is designed especially
for customers who enjoy the versatility of the wheelchair while our
pediatric wheelchair comes with special child-sized rigging. Made
from both aluminum and lightweight Cr-Mo alloy steel, our high strength
lightweight wheelchair is one of our best sellers. Finally, we also
carry an aluminum ultra-light wheelchair with flip-back arms and quick
release wheels. |
| Currently, Summit DME offers
fifteen lines of wheelchairs designed for the different needs and
sizes of patients. Within these lines are numerous models with a choice
of specifications and add-on accessories. The following are some popular
lines of wheelchairs and a brief introduction to each: |
| Catalina series is the line of standard
wheelchairs. This is the most popular model, as it is used everywhere
from hospitals and nursing homes to airports, schools, and supermarkets.
|
| Freedom series is the line
of companion wheelchairs. Also a popular item, this chair sells well
to families who travel frequently and require an easy wheelchair to
transport members requiring assistance. |
| Explorer series is the line
of extra-wide, heavy-duty wheelchairs. It accommodates the larger
or heavier patient. Margins on this chair are very high. |
| Pioneer series is the line
of hemi wheelchairs. It is designed for shorter patients, putting
them lower to the ground. |
| Legacy series is the line of high strength
lightweight wheelchairs. It does this by combining aluminum and Cr-Mo
alloy steel in its frame.
|

To fit the needs of different customers,
Navigator walking aids come in various styles and designs. The most
compact is our 3-wheel walker with a plastic pouch for handy use and
optional basket. The aluminum lightweight Navigator is available either
with locking-loop brakes or push-down brakes. Our steel 4-wheel Navigators
come in three different choices. Among the previously mentioned rollators,
Summit DME carries a durable extra-wide heavy-duty Navigator. |

Responding to recent trends in the healthcare industry,
Summit DME has expanded our HHCP Section. We have made this move for
several reasons, the most compelling of which is an average industry
product mark-up of 68%. We are very excited to see the progress of
the section, as the additional product offerings will bring in new
customers and assist Summit DME in increasing its national presence.
|
| Besides walkers, commodes, bathroom aids,
canes and crutches, we now carry full electric and semi-electric home
care hospital beds, lift chairs, patient lifts, low air loss mattress
system, and T.E.N.S. unit. |
| Summit DME has also entered into the Respiratory
market. By offering basic line respiratory equipment and a complete
line of CPAP equipment (with an average 49% industry mark-up), Summit
DME will be a one-stop shop for all durable medical equipment and
home health care products. |
 |
 |
Summit DME has over 3,000 parts in stock for its customers.
This is an important competitive advantage as the market demands and
sustains a company that not only sells products, but which also provides
aftermarket service. |
| Summit DME parts naturally fit best on
our proprietary brand wheelchairs, as they are produced from the same
manufacturing facilities. A majority of the parts are also E&J
(Everest & Jennings) compatible, while others are Invacare compatible.
Power mobility and wheelchair parts are sold as replacements for worn
or damaged components. Sales of parts also occur in bulk to distributors
specializing in wheelchair parts. Margins on these sales are high,
as there are exceptional price mark-ups in the parts market. |
