Question
Not sure what they are called but my Uncle has a special wrap that covers and protects his abdominal feeding tube. He can't seem to find a new clean one through the VA and got the one he has from Gunderson Hospital in LaCrosse WI but is being treated by the VA in Madison, WI; and they don't seem to know what he is talking about. Can you help us? Can we get them through a Home Health Care Facility? Thank You!
Answer
We have two items available that may be what you're looking for.
The first item is a Skin Barrier for use with Ostomies. These are generally foam wafers that go around the stomas to prevent skin damage from movement.
The second item we have is an Ostomy Belt. This item is worn around the torso at the location of the ostomy.

Question
I am looking for a bed and mattress for a small special needs child. She is 8 weighs 36 lbs and is 41in in length. She does not stand or roll over. Which bed and mattress do you think would be best? We do like the #e511nkm by Home-Medical Supplies & Equipment.
Answer
Dear Rosa,
Thank you for the inquiry. The bed you picked out is great but takes 8 weeks for delivery. We have the manual version shipping out within 3 days. It does the same thing. I would recommend this bed because it is low to the ground and has safety rails.

Question
I am a Yorkie Breeder and want to dock my own puppies tails, can you tell me what surgical clamp would be best to do this type of job.Thank you,Kathleen
Answer
Dear Kathleen:
Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, since these instruments are designed for surgical procedures on humans, we can not recommend a set of tools which would work equally well on dogs. Instead, we would suggest that you consult with a Veterinarian and then contact us with his/her recommedations.
