CompAir Compact Nebulizer w/ Bonus Battery Pack & DC, CPB03-ENOMR

Question
what is the liters of flow that this device puts out, what is the average treatment time for say albuterol and atrovent or deo-neb.

Answer

The nebulizer rate is 0.35ml/min. Treatment time depends upon the dose recommended by the prescribing physician, most treatments are between 2 and 7 ml of medication.

With a flow rate of 0.35ml/min, we can say that a 2ml dose treatment would take about 6 minutes and a 7ml dose treatment would take about 20 minutes.

Payr Pylorous Clamp, 13-3/4 in, 883-365FSI

Question
I am interested in a crushing intestinal clamp to be used in equine vet surgery. It needs to have very long jaws because the large colon in the equine is approximately 25cm diameter. It needs to be able to crush over that length. Thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Answer
The clamp portion of this instrument only measures approximately 5.5in (14cm) in length. After checking our inventory, this is the longest clamp we have suitable for this purpose.

Manual Lo Pro Adjustable Hospital Bed, M003CCNKM

Question
Hi. We have a set of dual queen adjustable beds in our RV, but because the motor is in the box spring, and its on a non-removable platform, the bed is too tall. I'm looking for a better way, either manual or electric. If we take the legs off your model M003CCNKM, would it still work Thanks!

Answer
Unfortunately, removing the legs on the bed will not work. The cranks on the manual beds are located right at base of the platform and will not be able to turn without floor clearance. On the electrical beds, the motors are located below the base as well. The best solution may be the Hi-Low beds. Please take a look at our selection Hi Low Hospital Beds or call us for more information at 877-706-4480.
