Question
My daughter was just diagnoised by a plastic surgeon as having Lymphedema of the lower legs and feet. He wrote her a prescription for custom made hose, stating that she would have to be measured and then they would be ordered/made for her. Can this Prescription be filled at any medical supply store? If so, will Medicare cover it and where do we start? Thank you

Answer

Dear Connie,

Thank you for your inquiry.  We do have an extensive variety of products that will meet your daughter's needs.  However, we do not accept Medicare or any insurance for such items.  Nonetheless, it's advisable to call Medicare or your insurance carrier and ask their advice for such matters.  What you may consider is asking Medicare, or whomever, to reimburse you for the cost of these items.  We will provide you with a receipt/invoice for said reimbursement.  With that in mind, click the link below to be directed to our inventory of hose & stockings:

Question
Hi, im looking for a portable oximeter, and not too expensive, that works for a baby of about 1 year old.. Does a finger oximeter will work ok? thanks

Answer

Dear Carlos,

Thank you for your inquiry.  The most important consideration when using a pulse oximeter on an infant are the types of probes/sensors to use.  For patients with sensitive skin, applying and removing adhesives may damage the epidermal tissue and may disrupt the normal barrier function of the skin, leading to increased risk of infection.  Pediatric probes are designed to reduce such risks and most are compatible with the majority of pulse oximeters on the market today.  We advise the use of the following:

Generic Neonatal Disposable Probes for Nellcor Pulse Oximeters

Generic Pediatric Disposable Probes for Nellcor Pulse Oximeter

Nellcor MAX-P Pediatric Adhesive Disposable Sensor

Nellcor SoftCare Neonatal Nonadhesive Disposable Sensors SC-NEO

As for pulse oximeters, the following items will work well for you:

Nellcor N-20 Handheld Pulse Oximeter

The Nellcor N-20 Series Handheld Pulse Oximeters come in three easy-to-use models for quick oxygen saturation and pulse rate assessment. Select the N-20 model with the features you need: the basic N-20; the N-20P with built-in printer; or the N-20PA with printer, audible/ visible alarms and continuous operation.

Nellcor N-30 Handheld Pulse Oximeter

This model has the sophistication of a larger monitor but in a small, versatile handheld unit. It provides continuous monitoring of SpO2 and pulse rate, and is compact enough to fit in the palm of the hand.

Nellcor N-180 Pulse Oximeters

These pulse oximeters provide real-time, continuous, non-invasive measurement of a patients pulse rate and arterial oxygen saturation.  These measurements are updated with each heartbeat.

Question
Where can I obtain a hand pump and valve for my physio ball? I have the ball, but not the pump or valve to inflate it.

Answer

Dear Edward,

Thank you for your inquiry.  According to our information, no specialty pumps are required to inflate physio balls.  A hand pump can be purchased at your local department store.  As for the valve, are you referring to the valve on the ball itself?  If we can clarify your question, we'll be happy to address it sufficiently and resolve your issue.

Thank You,
