Hand-Held Portable Nebulizer,V22U-ENMODIS

Question
Can this type of nebulizer be used on flights

Answer

Linda,

This Hand-Held Portable Nebulizer is able to be used at high altitudes, however if it is cold in the plane, it is recommended that you rub the unit with your hands to warm it up before turning it on to prevent any parts from operating incorrectly.

You may also want to check with the airline you'll be using as they may have regulations or restrictions as to where on the plane you may use your nebulizer.

heating pad

Question
i recently had surgery on my right shoulder.at rehab they place a heating pad in my should before i start my exercises, and i would like to try and get a hot heating pad for when i do my at homes.the ones that i can find at cvs, walmart etc etc just do not get hot enough for me.i would appreciate any recommendations that you can forward to me.

Answer

Chad,

We have different options for heating pads.  If you are looking for an electric model, I'd recommend the Automatic Moist Heat Pad. 

Moist heat therapy is generally recommended for deeper penetration of muscles as the moisture allows the heat to penetrate even deeper which in turn allows more flexibility.

This unit heats up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit and is recommended for use in 15-20 minute intervals maximum.
