The schultz Osgood Schlatter Support,101HCSMM

Question
This brace would be for my 11 yr. old daughter. The circumference around her knee cap is 12. What size would you suggest. Is there a place to purchase one in Denver Colo?

Answer

Linda,

To determine the exact size of Osgood Schlatter Support your daughter needs, you'll need to measure 2.5" above the knee and add that to the 12" circumference of her knee cap and divide that by two.  The sizing is as follows:

XSmall - 10-12.5"
Small - 13-14.25"
Medium -  14.25-15.75"
Large - 16-18.25"

Pacifica Compact Piston Powered Nebulizer,06081DRV

Question
I am looking for a portable nebulizer machine for me and my son. What is a piston powered nebulizer. I need a neb machine that is battery operated and also a machine that has a car charger for trip taking. Can you assist me with the answers I need?

Answer

Nancy,

We have a few options for portable nebulizers.  The compact nebulizers we carry are generally operated by ac adapter only.  The Pacifica Nebulizer is piston operated, which means it is a bit more quiet than a compressor operated nebulizer.

Our Portable CompAir Compressor Nebulizer System and Portable Arial Compressor Nebulizer System both feature battery operation as well as dc adapter for car charging and would be the most compatible for the purposes you've stated.
