Bassinet w/ Drawer & Shelf, 71x8207NKM

Question
We are looking for a container to put the clip board on the infant bassinet. Something possibly that would hang from the rails. Do you have such an accessory

Answer

Thank you for your inquiry,  this is not a standard accessory for our bassinets, but to help, we may suggest one of the following.

The links below are for chart holders made for use with our medical carts.  They are meant to be "mounted" onto an accessory bar, which the thin rail on a bassinet may work as.

Curasol Wound Dressing Gel, 300500TPHGSI

Question
Whats the difference between Microcyn gel and Curasol?

Answer

Microcyn is a bit more versatile and works with higher exuding wounds, while Curasol is only capable of managing low exudate.  Also, Microcyn is pH balanced and aids in autolytic debridement, helping to remove dead or infected tissue to make room for healthy tissue.

Travel nebulizer

Question
I am traveling oversees in the next month and do not want to bring along my daughter's larger nebulizer, in addition i do not believe the voltage will work in Europe. Her Dr. mentioned buying a portable nebulizer, but there are so many different options. Can you recommend a device that will work for us? I assume battery powered may be the way to go. Finally if you isolate some options can you provide me the procedure code so that I can inform my insurance company? Thanks

Answer

You are correct.  Europe is on 220/240 volts vs. North America 110/120 volts. If you would like to use your existing nebulizer, you can simply purchase a step-up voltage transformer at a Radio Shack or an electronics store.  Alternatively, you can look at at one of the following models:

• Compact Ultrasonic Nebulizer item# 51081DRV
• CompAir Compact Nebulizer w/ Bonus Battery Pack & DC item# CPB03-ENOMR
• Mist II Ultrasonic Handheld Nebulizer item# 00007204INM
