Question
my mother has an itchy rash on low back, buttocks and groin. We think she is allergic to the plastic in her pull- on adult diapers. Could you recommend a type of diaper that would cause less allergic reaction. Thank you.
Answer
Dear Ms Dodson:
Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, without knowing exactly what your mother is allergic to, we can not recommend a suitable substitute. You may wish to consult with a dermatologist about possible causes and options for treatment.

How do your cubicle tracks work with a dropped ceiling
Answer
Dear Ms. Mills:
Thank you for your inquiry. The cubcle curtain tracks are often times used with dropped ceiling. Hardware is not included. For installation, you will require bolts which will go through the predrilled holes in the track and large washers with nuts or a toggle nut/ bolt combo. The installation is fairly easy and youshould only need a screwdriver.

Question
My husband and i have cared for care for my two brothers whom have downs syndrome for 20 years in our home. One of the brothers got Alzheimer's at age 40. 3 years ago. he is unable to open his mouth by command . physically he is capable but at this point he cannot send the signals from his brain to his mouth to tell it to open. It is very diffucult for me to brush his bilingual surfaces of his teeth and also to brush the gums on bilingual side. he is okay with us brushing the outside of his teeth and gums. he handles that quite well. I am very concerned for the health of his mouth and possible gum diesase due to lack of brushing on the insides of his teeth. I do not want for him to bite down on the tooth brush and break it off. he is a strong male and does not bite down intentionally. We have tried several little devices that the dentist gave us but my brother can easily flip them out. I also wish for his tooth brushing to be a pleasant experience for him.
Answer
For your purpose, we would recommend a lip and cheek retractor. Unfortunately, this is not an item we currently stock. Please see the websites below for possible options:

Question
I'd like to buy a friend of mine a bolster as a present for passing the certification test. I am familiar with the full round bolsters from previous massages, however, now there is this half round bolster as well. I'm getting mixed reviews about each, but nothing saying the advantages and disadvantages of both. Can you please tell me. Thank you.
Answer
The half round bolsters are more flexible as in use. They can be used for under your knees, ankle or neck. The half oval shape provides a more subtle elvation and more stable positioning.

Question
I am traveling oversees in the next month and do not want to bring along my daughter's larger nebulizer, in addition i do not believe the voltage will work in Europe. Her Dr. mentioned buying a portable nebulizer, but there are so many different options. Can you recommend a device that will work for us? I assume battery powered may be the way to go. Finally if you isolate some options can you provide me the procedure code so that I can inform my insurance company? Thanks
Answer
You are correct. Europe is on 220/240 volts vs. North America 110/120 volts. If you would like to use your existing nebulizer, you can simply purchase a step-up voltage transformer at a Radio Shack or an electronics store. Alternatively, you can look at at one of the following models:
