Question
Just wondering if you could make any recommendations on TENS units for tension headache treatment.
Answer
We would first of all recommend Headache Ice Pillow, Item #: 804ROCMM
As far as TENS units are concerned, they generate a direct current that creates an electrical field over the treated area that, theoretically, changes blood flow. The positive pad behaves like ice, causing reduced circulation to the area under the pad and reduction in swelling; the negative pad behaves like heat, causing increased circulation, reportedly speeding healing. You may wish to take a look at the following products:

Question
I need a portable heated humidifier for my 2 month old because she has a trach. Can you recommend one for me?
Answer
The following unit should work very well for your daughter - Heated Humidifier with Ambient Tracking. The temperature control on this unit comes can be adjusted from a cool passover to heated humidification, which results in more comfort and increased patient compliance. The new standard in heated humidification for CPAP therapy includes several new features: Ambient Tracking, DC-AC inverter use capability, and a new case design. Ambient Tracking continuously senses changes in room temperature and alters the heater plate temperature accordingly to minimize condensation and maximize humidity. The patient receives the benefits of heated humidification without the annoying issues related to excess condensation in the tubing. Can be used with a DC-AC inverter, which enables truck drivers, campers or those who live in remote areas to benefit from heated humidification. Can be purchased separately or with FPK900HC105 Humidification Starter Kit. 2.6" x 5.3" x 5.9".
