Question
I am interested in this product. The question is can this be used in a situation where the patient is without vocal cords surgically removed and the breathing is conducted trough the cannula where this product should be mounted. If this does not work is there anythig else that you have that works with this kind of situation.Thanks in advance.

Answer

 Dear Goran:

Thank you for your inquiry.  Phonate speaking valve may not work under the circumstances you have described.  At this point, we are not aware of a product which may meet your requirements.  Have you consulted with a vocal training / rehab specialist?

Question
I have a friend who is very large, probably 400+ lbs. She is also very poor, and the wheelchair she's been using is a mess. The tires have shredded, but she had nothing else. I'm searching out possibilities to provide her with a good used bariatric wheelchair. What options are out there? What price range can I expect? Is there a donation program connected with your company?

Answer

Unfortunately, we do not have any type of used wheelchairs in our inventory nor do we have a donation program.  However, we have some options that may be less expensive than most. 

The least expensive option we have is simply a Bariatric Transport Chair which has small front and rear wheels, however it has a weight capacity of 450lbs.

Question
I have one of your unit that i got from my doctor a few years ago but i forgot how to use it. My questions is if i need to use gel to put on the pads because is not very strong even when i put it all the way up or do i need new pads. Thanks

Answer
 It is advisable that the area of application is cleaned with an alcohol pad.  Gel is not neccessary. With re-usable pads, after use, store in a sealed container at room temperature.
