Iodosorb Cadexomer Iodine Gel, 0405212066SNUISG

Question
Good Day,I read about this gel online and would love to use it to treat a 21 yo sickle cell patient with a stubborn, fairly large (10cm by 4cm) arterial ulcer on his L leg. What are the best products to use with this gel and how good are the results and what qty would I need.Thanks

Answer

Dr. Brume,

As for dressings, any of our hydrocolloid dressings should work fairly well with the Iodosorb Gel.  We also have Iodoform Packing Strips that are quite beneficial to any wound needing packing.

The quantity needed depends on the frequency of dressing changes, cleansing and severity of the wound itself.

Please feel free to contact us with any additional questions.  Thank you!

Deluxe Clavicle Brace, 801BTSMM

Question
I am a 31 yr/old male with poor shoulder posture. I'm looking for a clavicle brace or splint that can be worn daily but inconspicuously under dress shirts. Many braces and splints are bulky and obvious. Adjustability is important as these devices tend to stretch over time. Recommendations?

Answer
Any one of the following vests/braces should be able to assist you with improving your posturing.  However, it is important to realize that these braces are designed to restrain you from your natural, relaxed state.  It takes a bit of time to get accustomed to wearing these.  Start slowely by wearing these only a couple hours per day and gradually increase the duration.  Do not overtighten the adjustable straps.  If you make incremental adjustments, over time, you should begin seeing  improvements in your posture.
