FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -------------------------- Of interest to editors/authors covering: Health, Medical Devices, Nursing, Elderly/Retirement; General Editorial The Ultimate Walking Cane From MSGlobal - Built In Light, Alarm, Safety Flasher, And Even A Compass Replaces All Canes And Walking Sticks LOS GATOS, Calif. - June 17, 2003 /PRnetwire.com/ -- We all want those closest to us to be safe and secure. For users of canes or hiking sticks, Maurie Sandler has an ideal solution; a new medical product called the Multipurpose Spotlight Cane ( http://www.msglobaldirect.com/html/spotlightcane.html ). Sandlers' company, MSGlobal, began researching available security devices, and walking cane products, after a member of his immediate family passed away. After an exhaustive search, Sandler found an inventor who had developed the ideal cane product with all of the security features he was looking for, like an alarm, spotlight, and distress signal. Sandler immediately purchased the exclusive rights to the product. The result is the Multipurpose Spotlight Cane ($39.95, call 1-800-549-6278). "My dad died 2 years ago from a heart attack. He collapsed while taking his daily walk along the waterfront that he loved so much. He was 85 years old. Unfortunately, no one was near enough to see him fall. By the time someone had gotten to him, it was too late. I strongly believe that if he had a product like the SPOTLIGHT CANE, he could have sounded the emergency alarm and may have still been alive today," says Sandler. The Multipurpose Spotlight Cane is made of aluminum alloy and is easily adjustable from 31 inches to 37 inches. It's light weight for ease of use, and foldable for ease of carrying or storing when not in use. It is beautifully crafted, ergonomically designed, and extremely durable. "It's very easy to use," says Sandler. "There is only one button to control all of the cane's functions. Simply press the button once to turn on the spotlight. Press the button twice to activate the red warning safety flasher. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds to activate the emergency distress alarm. Customers are thrilled with the product, because it is not only very comfortable to use and easy to operate, but it provides them with real security as well." Doctor Vladimir Oykhman, a noted acute care specialist, loved the cane so much that he purchased one for a member of his own family. Doctor Cynthia Cummings, a popular family doctor, raved about the product, and has suggested it to her patients and her family.
