Busy Breathers Gets Picked Up By Large Home Healthcare Company
Online, February 10, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Denver, CO - Today, Busy Breathers LLC., the maker of portable oxygen backpacks, announced that they will now be sold by ApriaDirect.com, Apria healthcare's online store and one of the largest home healthcare companies in the U.S.
This is a significant expansion for Busy Breathers, which is a home-based business started by Michelle Staley out of necessity for her premature born son. After being picked up by Walgreens.com in August 2011, now the bags will be exposed to the subscribers of the Apria Direct website, many of which purchase oxygen bags.
"Being sold on Apria Direct will expose the Busy Breathers oxygen bags to thousands of new customers, many of which have struggled with portability for years," said Staley. "Although my product began out of necessity for my baby and I, especially during high respiratory season, they prove very convenient for anyone who is on oxygen."
Founder Staley first developed the initial idea for Busy Breathers when her son was born three months premature and was treated in the neonatal intensive care unit of Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center in Denver for four months. After her son was released, he still needed to be on oxygen for two years, so Staley developed the Busy Breathers backpack to make it more convenient for her to juggle her toddler and an oxygen tank.
The bags are currently on sale in the online store at http://www.apriadirect.com/product?47903/busy-breathers-oxygen-carrying-backpack.
