Question
I have a hydrolic lift serial number 114578. I thought it needed to be greased because it wouldn't always hold tight. It would make a clicking noise and lower me very slowly. How do I oil it and where do I get the supplies I need to accomplish this task. Thank You. Mr. Parks

Answer

 Dear Raymond:

Thank you for your inquiry.  Sounds like your hydraulic cylinder is leaking.  Parts are manufacturer specific.  You need to find out the name of the manufacturer and contact them for support and replacement parts.

Question
I am trying to locate a panty that fastens on the side. It is needed to put over an adult diaper, especially at night so that the diaper doesn't have to be so tight. The nursing home said this might help. My mom is a larger person, about 183 lbs. She has an incontinence problem plus she somewhat bedridden due to a knee problem. Her diaper is very tight and I thought there would be some easy type of panty to help hold the diaper in place. Thank you

Answer

Dear Teresa,

Thank you for the inquiry. Do you think an extra large in this style will work?

Question
Looking to get new scrubs for our new surgery center. Need scrubs that can withstand hospital laundering services. Will these work or do have any suggestions?

Answer

Heather,

Thank you for your inquiry.  Our Comfort Ease Scrubwear, I would say is our most durable scrubs, as they are a 65/35 Poly/Cotton blend.

Not only does this blend aide in longer lasting scrubwear, the chances of shrinkage and fading are less than a standard 50/50 or 100% cotton scrub.
