In addition to safety, walkers also promote independence. Many elderly individuals desire to maintain their autonomy, and using a walker can enable them to achieve this. Whether it's walking around the house, heading to the mailbox, or enjoying a stroll in the park, a walker can provide the support needed to perform these activities without assistance from others.

Moreover, single medical beds contribute significantly to infection control. In settings like hospitals, where the risk of healthcare-associated infections is a major concern, having a dedicated bed for each patient minimizes the chances of cross-contamination. Each bed can be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after a patient's discharge, ensuring a safe environment for incoming patients.
