Question
We have a friend that is not going home from the nursing home. She has agood used to hospital bed at home that she does not need.Who takes used hospital beds in the Milwaukee WI area?

Answer

Dear Mr. Prugger:

Thank your inquiry.  The best thing to do is to look in the local yellow pages for durable medical equipment dealers.  Hospital beds are expensive to ship, so your best market would be local.  If you find a local dealer, they will ussually come and pick it up.  If all else fails, you can donate the bed to Salvation Army and use it as tax write-off.

Good luck.

Question
I am in desperate need of an ultralight manual wheelchair. I have spinal disorder and a very bad shoulder. It may be me, but I can't seem to find your "used" products for sale. Money is tight, and I don't have an insurance company throwing $4000 dollars at me right now.

Answer

Dear Ms. Coker:

At this time, we do not have used ultralights in stock.  We are not aware of manual wheelchairs costing $4000, unless they are custom made.  If you can let us know your height, weight, max weight of chair and other options, we will be happy to recommend a new chair that we have in stock for a fraction of the cost. Please call us toll free at 877-706-4480 if you have any other questions.

Question
I am not diabetic but have a problem finding walking/light aerobic shoes which are comfortable. I have a wide foot and am inclined to pronation on one foot--would the Apex Aetrex Velcro walker be appropriate for me?

Answer

Dear Ms. Wyndolds:

Thank you for your inquiry.  As with any pair of shoes, especially for someone with sensitive feet, it is always better to first try shoes on.  Since, in this case, the option is not available, you may choose to purchase the Apex Aetrex and try them out.  If they do not fit comfortably you can exchange them and pay just the shipping fees.  For additional questions please call us toll free at 877-706-4480.

HiI am looking for a good and relatively recent electric OB/GYN chair and a good and relatively recent colposcope. Do you have any? What would the cost be to send it to New Zealand (by sea)ThanksMichael Sangalli MD

Answer

Dear Dr. Sangalli:

Thank you for your inquiry.  Shipping OB/GYN chair to New Zeland would probably be more expensive than the chair itself. 

Do you have any preferences on the colposcope, such as brand name, model number, max number of broken links, age, etc.  Please let us know and we would be happy to see if we can locate a model that meets your criteria.

Is there anything that could be used in a car seat to raise the level of the seating to assist an elderly person getting in and out of the car.

Answer

The lifting cushion is the truly portable solution for those with mobility requirements.  This manual lifting cushion folds flat for easy portability.  Works on most armchairs, and sofa’s (next to an armrest).  The lifting cushion also works well inside vehicles with sufficient head room such as SUVs or vans. It assists those who are living with arthritis and various other joint ailments to lower and rise with greater ease from a seated position.  Please take a look at the following options Lifting Cushion 200-300 lbs Lift - Item 3EPUUPL or Lifting Cushion 95-220 lbs Lift - Item 1EPUUPL.  For any other questions, please call us toll free at 877-706-4480.
