Devices:
Oxygen Therapy
Oxygen therapy can help alleviate the symptoms of cardiovascular disease by helping your body maintain the correct oxygen levels. Our services offers 24/7 support for you and your practitioner. This ensures you have access to the proper oxygen supplies and services whenever you need them.
Home INR Testing
If you take blood thinners, self-INR testing can reduce your risk of bleeding and clotting by providing reliable, real-time results from home. Lincare's mdINR program saves you time from going to your practitioner's office or lab to check your INR levels, and allows you to receive counseling and education from home.
