Question
I am looking for two types of items for a hip injury to help in rehab. One is a cold pack wrap that will stay on my right side covering entirely the hip and gludial area on the right side. I also need a support girdle that will extend down to the knee. I currently use a wide ace bandage wrap ( substituing for the hip and gludial muscles until I can re-build these muscles to support the numb foot and lower leg ) however the constant separating and tugging is driving me crazy! I have 4 kids and I need both the cold wrapy and support system to allow for mobility. Any ideas?

Answer

Dear Ms. Aguila:

Thank you for your inquiry.  The two product that we have the may remotely fit your needs is the Universal 10" Abdominal Binder and Lumbar Sacral Supports.  We do not carry any cold pack wrap that would meet your description.

Question
I have been diagnosed with myofascial pain in my shoulder. I've tried a lot of treatments. Nothing works. I've heard ethyl chloride spray is very good. What do you suggest and how do you use and store it?

Answer

Ethyl Chloride spray should provide you with temporary relief from pain in your shoulder.  To apply simply point the nozzle at the affected area and compress to spray.  Be careful to close your eyes and try not to enhale during the application process.  You may wish to wear safety glasses and a mask, or simply throw a towel over your face.  The product should be stored in a cool, dry location.

Question
Can a kitchen stool bought at a medical supply store also be used as a shower stool or are there differences and is a separate shower stool needed?

Answer

A shower chair is made out of light weight, mildew & rust resistant materials such as plastic and aluminum. It may also come with non slippery base for the legs.  A shower chair is designed to enable the water to seep through, without collecting on the seating area.  Additionally the chair may have adjustable seat height and may come in a size that would fit into a standard bathtub or shower.  Furthermore, it is not a good idea to use the same chair for standing and sitting on.  Ultimately, we would recommend investing in a shower chair.  We offer a large selection of bath chairs and stools. Ultimately, it is safer and healthier.

Question
We will be starting our son in 2D soon and need to get him diapers. He's 14 and has a 26" wiast. It looks from your site that the Attends, ATN, prime time plus, and promise ultra briefs will all fit him (briefs is just another word for diaper right?). Which would be best? I guess we are more concerned with absorbancy than economy at this point.Betty

Answer

Dear Ms. Girard:

Thank you for your inquiry.  As far as the absorbancy is concerned, both of the products you are considering will do the job just fine.  The choice between the products ultimately boils down to the fit and comfort.  Unfortunately, the only way to determine that is to try the product out.  If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at 877-706-4480.
