HiI am looking for a good and relatively recent electric OB/GYN chair and a good and relatively recent colposcope. Do you have any? What would the cost be to send it to New Zealand (by sea)ThanksMichael Sangalli MD

Answer

Dear Dr. Sangalli:

Thank you for your inquiry.  Shipping OB/GYN chair to New Zeland would probably be more expensive than the chair itself. 

Do you have any preferences on the colposcope, such as brand name, model number, max number of broken links, age, etc.  Please let us know and we would be happy to see if we can locate a model that meets your criteria.

Is there anything that could be used in a car seat to raise the level of the seating to assist an elderly person getting in and out of the car.

Answer

The lifting cushion is the truly portable solution for those with mobility requirements.  This manual lifting cushion folds flat for easy portability.  Works on most armchairs, and sofa’s (next to an armrest).  The lifting cushion also works well inside vehicles with sufficient head room such as SUVs or vans. It assists those who are living with arthritis and various other joint ailments to lower and rise with greater ease from a seated position.  Please take a look at the following options Lifting Cushion 200-300 lbs Lift - Item 3EPUUPL or Lifting Cushion 95-220 lbs Lift - Item 1EPUUPL.  For any other questions, please call us toll free at 877-706-4480.

Question
I have a SLS Biophile Chromos 694 HeNe used laser. I would like to sell it, what would be an appropriate price on it?

Answer

Dear Anu:

Thank you for your inquiry.  Pricing on used laser will vary based on condition, age, software etc.  There is really no aftermarket, such as used cars, that will dictate the price for a used laser.  A good starting point would be to depreciate it based on purchase price and the condition of the unit at 10-15 percent per year.

Good luck
