Dear Stanley,

Thank you for the inquiry, however we do not know if medicare covers the dropfoot splint due to the fact that we do not accept Medicare. Call Medicare and ask them.  Sometimes you can purchase the item and they will reimburse your expenses.

Question
I will be needing some sort of cloth to wipe off ultrasound gel from my patients. I was wondering how the premium polytowels or the disposable rayon washcloths would work. Can you please inform me as to which one if any you would recommend? Thank you.Laura

Answer

Dear Laura,

Thank for the inquiry. Since most gels are water based, using a wet towelette and/or washcloth would probably work the best.  I would not recommend anything dry, make sure the cloth is damp.  It works more effectively. In answer to your question: damp disposable rayon washcloths.
