Question
would this machine be power enough for the back and hips area

Answer

Thank you for your inquiry,

Regrettably we can not suggest the areas where this portable ultrasound is more suitable. This product generates deep heat within body tissues for treatment of selected medical conditions, such as pain relief, muscle spasms and joint contractures.

This Ultrasound Unit has a clinical output frequency of 1.0 MHz, just like the clinical units. We recommend you ask your physician if this product will be suitable enough to be used in the back in hips area.

Please feel free to contact me if you require additional information.

Question
Do you have information that shows the time savings between using a manual vs. electric Hoyer lift? I am trying to write a justification to purchase electric.

Answer

Thank you for your inquiry. The advantages of our electric hoyer lifts are:

• The new electric versions allow for the patient to be raised and lowered at the push of a button.
• Can be operated by a single person, without the help of another individual. (Care givers that are frail and/or elderly will simply not have sufficient strength to move a patient)
• Lift the patient requires no muscle tone or cooperative input since the lift supports 100% of the patients weight
• Easily performs room to room transfers
• Can lift directly from the floor anywhere in the home
• No installation required

Hopefully, this is enough information to help you justify the purchase of an electric lift.

I would recommend the following lifts:

Electric Patient Lifter

Electric Patient Lift

Electric Patient Lift with Battery

If you would like a formal quote on any of the above lift, please advise destination zip code and item number. Thanks!

Question
Which type of beard cover to find most ordered/acceptable for the surgical/OR setting Can you send samples? Thanks

Answer

This item would be considered our "heavy duty" beard cover as the material is thicker and is less likely for exposure of facial hair.  We do have another, thinner option that still provides coverage but is more breathable: http://www.medical-supplies-equipment-company.com/product/ppf/id/8685/new_prod_full.asp
