Question
My 89 year old sister has osteoporosis in the back. Has a lot of pain from the mattress she is using. What do you suggest She uses a single bed. I would have to get the size.Thanks

Answer
Our pressure reduction mattress is a good option for people who are not completely bed-ridden as it provides additional support with the convoluted topper and reduces pressure on any specific point on the body.

Alternatively, if she is in bed most of the time, you may consider a low air loss or alternating pressure mattress.  These are air mattresses that offer the best pressure reduction of any that we offer.

Question
I have suffered w/bad breath all my adult life. I just learned irrigating my throat and sinuses may help me. As Ive never done this before, I'm looking for instructions on how to safely/effectively clean throat. Is there information on how to make this work Please help me.

Answer

Instructions for Use

Add saline, diluted Listerine, or your favorite mouthwash to the irrigator basin. The throat tip has a contoured design to rest on the tongue comfortably. Lay the tip straight back on the left side of the tongue and direct it just behind the last tooth. The irrigation stream will wash the left tonsil or side of the throat, come around and wash the other side. Gently pull tongue cleaner/scrapper back and forth to remove and rinse away bacteria and food particles.
Turn the tip over and place on the right side of the tongue and direct it just behind the last tooth. About 30 seconds on each side should be enough. Always begin with the device at the lowest pressure setting. The 45 degree angle of the irrigation tip and tongue cleaner element which acts as a tongue depressor is designed to prevent reflex gagging.
 

Benefits of Pulsatile Irrigation:
 

- Soothing drug free relief for sore throat irritation, infection, and chronic hoarseness
- Relieves pain and encourages healing to the infected areas
- Reduces spread of infection
- Safer and more effective than gargling
- Great for fresh breath control

Question
I saw a man at the VA in Madison, Wi. witha brace on that I would like. It is HARD plastic that covers from the shoulderblades down to your rearend. It had a hard plastic front shell also. The two pieces were held together by 6 straps three on each side. He said it was ordered at the Madison VA but delivered to the Tomah, Wi. VA for his convenience. It had YOUR company name on it but I cannot find it in your listings. PLEASE send me any info or pictures of a device you handle that resembles what I have described ! THANK YOU FRO THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART !

Answer

We do not manufacture this type of product so it likely was not labeled with our name.  It seems you may be talking about a custom orthosis.  We do not offer custom braces, but you may be able to get additional information from the following company: http://www.bostonbrace.com/content/ordering.asp

Question
We are using Kangaroo 324 which could safeguard the VTBD not to be repeated by somebody until the infused volume was cleared to zero. I am asking whether Kangaroo 924 has the same this safeguard function as 324

Answer

Thank you for your inquiry. The Kangaroo™ 924 pump can be programmed the same way as the Kangaroo™ 324 pump. It features an "adjustable knob" on the side of the pump. The Kangaroo™ 924 pump also has the option of using the arrow keys on the front panel to adjust feed rate and VTBD. The Kangaroo™ 924 pump also has an OPTIX sensor instead of the SIPS connector.

If you would like to receive a quote for more than one units, please reply with number of units and I can offer volume pricing. Thank you!
