Question
I'm looking at sutures for emergency situations - stuck in deep wilderness without a chance for rescue for days. Which suture would you recommend for stitching up a wound like a laceration? Where do I find the suture needles on your site?

Answer

Thank you for your patience. Any suture with a cutting needle that is non-absorbable material like nylon (polypropylene and monomids) so the suture does not break down by natural elements like extreme heat and moisture.

The following sutures below would be able to adapt to that type of enviroment:

 Nonabsorbable Nylon Sutures for NP-3 Precision Point Needle

Nonabsorbable Mono Poly Sutures for NP-3 Precision Point Needle

I have a hospital bed and am having a lot of problems with the vinyl covering causing me to sweat during the night. I am using an adjustable bed to allevate back pain. I have tried many things to keep the heat from building up underneath me. Is there a mattress that is made to help thisThanks

Answer

We would suggest a convoluted foam or air overlay, these options are typically less expensive than a mattress, however reduce constant contact with the mattress therefore reducing heat buildup.  They also aid in reducing pressure which is beneficial if you have any discomfort with your existing mattress.
