The Ultimate Walker, 99TLUIPU

Question
I am the Safety Director for our hosp/nursing home and family brought me info on your walkers. I have 2 questions: What are the seat measurements Is there increased mobility in the 8 wheel model over the 4 wheel? It looks like the pipes on the floor of the 4 wheel model would limit mobility.

Answer

1) The seat dimension on this model is 21.5in W x 13.5in D. 

2) The additional wheels are intended for added stability.  The 8 wheeled walkers are designed for taller people with a higher center of gravity. 

3) The pipes are anti-tipping devices and they should not impede mobility. 

Please let us know if we can be of further assitance.  You can also email us at inquiry@msecompany.net or call us toll free at 877-706-4480.

Subject
Adult Flat - 3 Liter Non-Conductive Neoprene Breathing Bags, D-831-FLACA

Question
First, what is the difference between conductive and non-conductive. Second, what is the overall length when deflated and the max diameter when inflated Thanks.

Answer

Other than he conductive bags being made of latex and the non-conductive bags being made of neoprene, the conductive bags do not prevent static electricity from flowing through the bag.

Generally non-conductive bags are used in hospital, surgical and other medical settings where flow of static electricity may be dangerous.  The conductive bags are generally used in office and veterinary settings.

The length is 13.25in from end to end deflated and the diameter deflated is about 5.5in.  Unfortunately, we do not have the inflated measure, however it has been noted that when fully inflated may be as large as a basketball.
