Optimal adjustment for maximum effect: People who need oxygen or suffer from dangerous breathing interruptions while sleeping rely on respiratory therapy devices. Only when these devices are used correctly can the therapy be fully effective.
This is exactly where the specialists at Westfalen Medical GmbH's respiratory therapy centers come into play. The subsidiary of the Westfalen Group in Münster has now opened four new centers for patient care in Bielefeld, Kaiserslautern, Saarbrücken, and Siegen.
There, patients receive an introduction to the devices, the face masks that are right for them, and other accessories. Whether a nasal mask, full-face mask, or nasal glasses – the specially trained experts work with patients to find the optimal solution. “Personal contact and perfectly fitting equipment are crucial to our goal of improving quality of life and making everyday life easier with the limitations,” explains Sales Manager Fabian Gitmans.
Better quality of life for people with COPD or sleep apnea
Westfalen Medical GmbH, based in Siegen, is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for people with respiratory diseases and impairments. It is one of Germany's leading companies in the supply of medical oxygen. Many of Westfalen Medical's patients suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a form of sleep apnea, or a neuromuscular disease such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Genetic predispositions can also impair the respiratory tract and make respiratory therapy necessary.
Speed is the top priority for Westfalen Medical when it comes to patient care. It usually takes less than 24 hours from the prescription of a therapy to the installation of the therapy equipment in the patient's home. “Especially when patients are to be transferred directly from hospital to home therapy, we have to be quick to ensure their care. To guarantee this, we all work hand in hand,” Gitmans continues.
