Question
Hi I am a doctor, I would like to know I want a machine to be used for facial muscle pain, which model is more suitable. If yes how can I place the order? How about the disinfection of the applicator? Thanks!!

Answer

Sonicator Plus 994 Combination Therapy can be used for facial muscle pain.  However, care must be taken not use the devices on or near eyes, on pregnant women, on individuals with cardiac pacemakers.  The unit comes with an extensive manual and will have a greater overview of dos and donts.  The care instructions are shown below and again are addressed in greater detail in the product manual:

1. The Sonicator Plus 994 can be wiped off with a damp cloth. The power cord should be disconnected from the unit before this is done. In the case of stubborn dirt a gentle
household cleaner can be sprayed on the cloth and then wiped on the unit. If this method is used, remove any cleaner residue with a damp cloth. Do not spray cleaner into the vents of the unit.
2. Follow the EZ Trode package insert for the use and care of the electrodes supplied with the Sonicator Plus 994.
3. For routine cleaning of the electrode cables use soap and water. Thoroughly dry after cleaning.
4. Use soap and water for routine cleaning of the Sonicator Plus 994 applicators. When disinfection is necessary, use a disinfectant such as a 10% bleach solution. Rinse the
applicator thoroughly after disinfection to remove any residue. The Sonicator Plus 994 applicator is neither autoclavable nor gas sterilizable.

Dear Shauna,

Thank you for the inquiry. Soft rubber “waffle” design collapses and springs back into shape with every step. Relieves pressure on sore heels, spurs and bruises. The product does not directly state that it helps with supination.

Question
I have had many cervical pillows and I need a suggestion to buy another. I have cervical disk problems and am fused c-4 to c-6 and have new issue at c6-7.I have found pillows with the smaller contoured neck work best and don't strain my neck when I am sleeping but the average pillow is usually too large of a contour. I have no preference for a type of material inside.

Answer

Dear Jeff,

Thank you for the inquiry. Here are the cervical pillows we have available. Let us know which one you have a question on.
