Question
Are there disposable covers that fit over this pen-scope otoscope? Will I have better diagnostic ability if I buy the piccolight otoscope, or is this one sufficient?

Answer

We do have Disposable Otoscope Specula for the Pen-Scope Otoscope.

Both have high quality fiber optics for optimal light transmission, however the Pen-Scope are more affordable.

Maxorb� CMC/Alginate Dressing,2107CSMDM

Question
Is Maxorb a combination of calcium alginate and hydrofiber?

Answer

The information regarding Maxorb is below:

Now 25% more absorbent

Maxorb Extra now absorbs 25% more than previous Maxorb styles, allowing for greater fluid handling.

Fluid will not wick laterally

Wound exudate mixes with Maxorb Extra to form a gel that will not wick out, reducing the potential for damage to periwound skin.

Superior gelling and fluid handling

The CMC fiber in Maxorb Extra improves the wicking and fluid handling as well as the wet strength.

Easy dressing changes

Simple, one-piece removal eases dressing changes.

Change Frequency

• Dressing change is indicated by strike-through to secondary dressing or every 2-5 days or as directed by a health care professional.

Indications

• Pressure ulcers (Stage II-IV)
• Partial and full thickness wounds
• Leg ulcers
• Diabetic Ulcers
• Surgical Wounds
