Non-combustible Oxygen Therapy System Breaks Tradition

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects an estimated 30 million people in the US and over 100 million worldwide. While supplemental oxygen has been proven to reduce the symptoms of the disease and extend life expectancy for COPD patients, antiquated, stationary oxygen machines and awkward portable machines inhibit their ability to lead an active life.

Now there is an oxygen therapy system that provides oxygen at home or on the go, all in one light-weight, all-purpose system called Inogen One. With Inogen One, respiratory disease sufferers can maintain an active lifestyle with increased freedom and mobility. Most importantly, there are no more distance limitations for those requiring supplemental oxygen. Because it is one of the only machines that is FAA approved, the Inogen One can even be taken on-board most commercial aircraft.

A non-combustible oxygen therapy system, Inogen One redefines how oxygen is delivered and is a complete departure from mainstream technologies. This quiet and efficient system is user-friendly, easy to transport and energy efficient, using about as much power as a 40-watt light bulb. The Satellite Conserver, acting as a remote control, allows an individual to be up to 100 feet away from the unit, eliminating the need to remain close to the concentrator.

Other features of the Inogen One Oxygen Therapy System include:


  • Inogen One Lithium Ion Battery provides two to three hours of normal operation and recharges in about three hours using the AC Power Supply, the External Battery Charger or the Mobile Power Charger that allows recharging in a car, boat, RV or connected to another DC source.
  • AC Power Supply allows use in normal wall outlets, 100-240V, 50-60Hz. When connected to AC power, the battery will charge whether or not the Inogen One is in use.
  • Completely digital – no more dials to turn.
  • Seven foot, quiet Nasal Cannula.
  • Inogen One Cart is a lightweight cart on wheels with a telescoping handle making it easy to transport the Inogen One. The Inogen One Carry Bag has an adjustable shoulder strap for carrying the Inogen One and accessories and can be easily attached to the Cart.

    Having a short- or long-term disability that requires confinement to a wheelchair can be challenging for the injured party as well as the caregiver. But with the Drive Pollywog Transport Wheelchair, life can be made just a little easier.

    The Pollywog is a ground-breaking mobility aid weighing 20 per cent less than most wheelchairs, but providing the same features as a full-size wheelchair and a transport chair all-in-one.

    The lightest full-size wheelchair on the market today, the Pollywog features both 24” and 8” rear wheels allowing for greater mobility on most surfaces. The larger rear wheels remove with the simple push of a button turning it into a lightweight transport chair.

    The Pollywog features removable armrests, swing-away foot rests and dual brakes. The back rest folds back for easier access to hair-washing and other grooming needs. Made of an aluminum frame, the Pollywog is padded with nylon upholstery with a carry pocket in back.

    An ActiveForever customer recently returned from a vacation where the Pollywog was used by her husband. "The Pollywog was a life safer for us during our cruise," stated Constance Wolf. "Because it serves two purposes we only had to take the Pollywog rather than having to cart a wheelchair and a transport chair as we’ve had to do in the past."

    From items as simple as a walking cane or walker to items as sophisticated as a wheelchair or mobility scooter, ActiveForever offers products that have been thoroughly researched and tested for quality and functionality to ensure their safety and convenience.

    Are you experiencing hair loss? Recently approved by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA), the HairMax LaserComb® revolutionizes the hair restoration industry. Locally available through ActiveForever and on-line through ActiveForever.com, a discounted distributor for the manufacturer of the HairMax LaserComb, this product promotes hair growth in males with androgenetic alopecia using an affordable and convenient, hand-held laser device.

    Only two other products have been approved by the FDA as solutions to combat hair loss, but the HairMax LaserComb stands out as the only proven drug-free alternative. Treatments are easy to administer, only 10 to 15 minutes three times per week, using the HairMax LaserComb in the comfort and privacy of your own home.

    For many years, leading hair clinics and salons around the world have been using the internationally established technology of Laser PhotoTherapy, or Low Level Laser Therapy, to improve the appearance of hair. The large, fixed laser devices used in these clinics have been miniaturized and patented with the development of the HairMax LaserComb.

    The HairMax LaserComb parts the hair allowing the focused laser energy to reach the scalp. The laser is most effective when it has an unobstructed path directly to the hair follicle. Through extensive research, the manufacturer has determined the optimal wavelength and energy level needed to deliver maximum results that are safe, harmless and effective.

    A clinical study of male participants conducted across the United States concluded that 93% of the participants (ages 30-60) using the HairMax LaserComb experienced an increase in the number of terminal (thick) hairs. The clinical study investigating the efficacy of the HairMax LaserComb in females is concluding and the data will be submitted to the FDA shortly.
