While we’re really proud of both the Hound-a-bout™ hands-free dog walking system and the Utilitote™ hands-free rigid carrier, and the unmistakable benefits these innovative products afford their users, we wanted to be more than just another maker and seller of assistive technology.  So we launched BZE Insights – our own means of sharing information on technologies, perspectives, techniques or modifications that could help those paralyzed by injury or disease speed their return to healthy, independent living.

Clicking on the any of the links below will open a pdf version of the article on the associated topic in a new window.  So if you have pop-up protection enabled on your web browser, you may need to add BlueZoneEnterprises.com to your browser’s list of exceptions.  Once you have opened an article, please feel free to print it, save it, or pass it along to anyone else you think would appreciate it. All we ask, is if you intend to include our content in another publication, please give us the courtesy of citing BlueZoneEnterprises.com as the source of the information.

And if one of the article topics doesn’t appear to be a link when hovered over with your mouse, that just means that specific topic is a coming attraction – so please continue to check back from time to time to see if a piece on that topic has been published.  Also, if there are any topics you would either like to see covered or information you think others in situations like yours might like to have available to them, please click here, and e-mail us your comments, thoughts or contact information.

We hope you find the information provided by BZE Insights useful, and we thank you for your interest!
