Question
can dag solution be used for eye inflammation Should it be diluted for this purpose? to what dilution?
Answer
This product is recommended for use primarily as a gargling solution or oral anesthetic/analgesic (may also be used topically in other ways). There is not a specific indication as to whether or not this would be safe to use optically. Below is some additional information:
D.A.G. (Dierkers Antiseptic Germicidal) is a gargling agent with infection-fighting ingredients. DAG Solution is a clear liquid, with a unique smell & taste, made of Phenolated Iodine in Irish Moss Extract with Organic Borates. These ingredients provide a soothing antiseptic solution with strong germicidal power - without the burn and sting of alcohol. DAG Solution is an extremely effective gargle for a sore and irritated throat. Start gargling as soon as you feel that little tingle in your throat that warns, sickness is coming! The key is to gargle as long and as often as possible initially. There is nothing like the dread you feel when you know you are getting sick, and there is also no feeling like the relief of waking up WITHOUT a sore throat! DAG Solution is an invaluable addition to the medicine cabinet of any busy person, who just doesn't have time be sick! DAG Solution can also be used as a soothing mouthwash, to relieve the discomfort and speed the healing, of canker sores, inflamed gums or any other irritating mouth sores. DAG Solution is a mild, sting-free, non-irritating topical antiseptic that soothes insect bites, minor cuts & scrapes.
Applications of DAG that may work with the following conditions:
EAR, NOSE AND THROAT CONDITIONS
SINUSITIS: use frequently in each nostril or directly by canals.
OTITIS MEDIA: three or four drops in the ear frequently.

Question
I am esthetician looking an oxygen concentrator to perform oxygen facials. The tubing is hooked to compressor and infused into patients skin with airgun device. Tubing has pushin hookup on concentrator end and want to know if this may be compatible with my equipment. Are you familiar
Answer
Unfortunately, we do not have any supporting information regarding this being compatible with any accessories for this type of treatment. If the tubing you use is the same size as standard oxygen tubing, this may be sufficient.
We must advise, however, that for the purchase of oxygen concentrators, due to the nature of the product, we must have a prescription on file.

Question
para que sirve y como usar el tens-6000gracias
Answer
La "Unidad de TENS digital" es una estimulación nerviosa eléctrica transcutánea (TENS, siglas) es el uso de corriente eléctrica producida por un dispositivo para estimular los nervios con fines terapéuticos.
Una receta médica es necesaria para esta unidad. Usted puede enviar por fax su receta médica a 713-706-4161.
Dependiendo de su situación, su doctor le recomendará durante cuánto tiempo este tratamiento se debe utilizar.
Las siguientes son algunas instrucciones básicas:
• Limpie la piel, donde los electrodos se colocan con alcohol. A continuación, secar la piel.
• Coloque una capa delgada de gel en la parte inferior de cada electrodo. Este gel ayuda a transmitir la señal eléctrica de los nervios bajo la piel.
• Coloque los electrodos en su piel y la cinta de uso o un parche autoadhesivo para cubrir el electrodo. Esto mantiene el electrodo firmemente pegada a la piel. Tener un miembro de la familia ayuda si no puede llegar a la zona donde los electrodos se van a colocar.
• Enganche los pines en el extremo de los cables de electrodo á los electrodos. Los cables se conectado a la unidad de TENS.
• Los botones de control se giran lentamente hasta la posición correcta. Usted debe sentir una sensación de hormigueo. Hable con su médico acerca de lo que la configuración puede ser mejor para usted.
• No se meta en el agua o dormir con los electrodos en la piel y la unidad de ENET activa.
• Gire las perillas de control en "OFF". Desconecte los cables de los electrodos de la unidad TENS.
Por favor, póngase en contacto con nosotros si requiere información adicional.

how exactly do i measure my waist properly for your Ultra-Fit Reusable Briefs-Adult Diaper Around the largest part i have a gut or the hips?
Answer
The sizing is to be measured at the waist, where you naturally wear pants. The garment looks to be worn at about hip-level, so this may be the measurement required. This is the measuring guide from the manufacturer:
Waist
Small: 24 Inches - 32 Inches
Medium: 28 Inches - 38 Inches
Large: 36 Inches - 45 Inches
X-Large: 43 Inches - 54 Inches
