Question
Our facility has a basic care manikin with interchangeable genitalia but over the years the female genitalia has been lost. Is there anyway that just parts can be replaced

Answer
Thank you for your inquiry. Could you provide me with a serial number or item number and mfg for the manikin so we can ensure we are ordering the right part because some of the genitalias have different connection points. Please advise.

Question
I have just seen and like this stretcher but the overall length of 76in is an issue. When the patient surface is tilted upwards does it reduce the overall length during storage If so, to what length? AND IF NOT, ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR AN ALTERNATIVE THAT CAN BE MADE SHORTER DURING STORAGE? Thanks.

Answer

The overall minimum length is 76in with the backrest raised.  Our hydraulic stretchers all have this or greater as the minimum overall length.

Do you require a hydraulic stretcher or will you be open to a unit that is meant for ambulance or general transport use?  We do have a few options of alternative modes of operation that are less than 76in.

Question
How does this attach to the toilet Is it easily removed? I am thinking of using this when we travel.Thank you

Answer

Dear Ms. Evans:

The seat is attached using the same bolts which attach the flip cover to the commode.  It can be removed easily but would require accessing the nuts from underneath the bowl.

Question
Have 52y/o Pt. w/c bound with 2 ulcers on right back thigh and a skin tear mid buttock. There right next to each other and about 5-7in and 3-3in I need advice on how your would cover them up and with silvadi, pack it, patrolium, creams etc...and to top it of he sits on the commode for a good 3-8 hrs w his self bowel routine. So he has been using duct tape to keep it to stay in place since he sits on it and and the ulcers drain and he sweats so it comes off and either stays off or he puts more duct tape ... so i beg you to give me ideas of how to conquer This poor guys need for a little help and some companionship. He eats once a day, drinks soda all the time maybe 3-4 a day. Lil or no protein is going into him. Few sips of water here and there so I''m trying so please give me a lil verbal hang. Thank you for this!!!!

Answer

First of all, applying duct tape to the skin on someone who has fragile skin already is not recommended.  Use of duct tape on skin should be discontinued immediately.

Care and dressings recommended:

• Protect from infection since skin barrier is broken
  TRANSPARENT FILMS
  OCCLUSIVE WAFER DRESSINGS
  CALCIUM ALGINATE (for exudating wounds only)
• Provide a moist physiologic environment
  POLYURETHANE FOAM
  MOISTENED GAUZE DRESSINGS
• Pressure reduction is imperative
• Assess wounds daily
