Question
What products are used to pack a wound for a small sinus on the foot? My father is diabetic (controlled) and had 3 toes amputated d/t gangreen & infection, the area is healing well except for a sinus approx 1 inch deep, with exposed bone. He is on antibiotics by mouth and iv. The nurses are using ribbon gauze soaked in normal saline, but the sinus is not improving. He does have good blood flow to the foot, since he had by-pass surgery involving the femoral artery. Would packing the sinus with topical antibotics or some other type of product be more benificial?

Question
Greetings! I am a certified massage therapist. I generally do foot massage/reflexology with my hands. But, can you recommend something hygienic and/or disposable for my clients' feet (e.g. socks) that can be used with an electric foot & calf massager? I need a bulk order. I looked at your shoe (foot?) covers and foam slippers but am still unsure. Thanks for your assistance. Peace & Wellness!
Answer
Instead of shoe covers or slippers, you may wish to consider using tubular stockinettes. Stockinettes are elastic and come in rolls of different diameter and lengths. The rolls can be cut into different size segments which can then be used to cover clients' feet and/or calfs. To view our selection, please click on the link below or simply type in the word stockinette in the Product Search window. For more information, please call us toll free at 877-706-4480.
