Prep Razors, Personna Double Edge (Box of 100) - 75-4004 BOX

Prep Razors, Personna Double Edge - 75-4004 BOXThe item I ordered was a white double-sided razor based on the vendor photo. What I received was this blue razor that my wife and I had both previously tried. The blue double-sided razor causes excessive nicking of the skin. I'm told by the vendor that the blue razor is the replacement or upgrade for double-sided white razor. I consider it a poor substitute and a definite downgrade in quality! I received a full refund from the vendor regarding the shipping mix-up and was told that I could keep the blue razors already delivered to me. I wouldn't shave my dog with the blue double sided prep razor! Good luck finding another product that works for you.

I previously bought a few of the exact razor in the photo, they were great! Unfortunately when I bought them in bulk a more cheaply made item was sent. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!

These are the shavers that a laser hair removal center I go to, uses to prep you for any areas you had missed before they start the job. They want you to shave prior to coming in and so often, after I had used those fancy 4 or 5-blade disposables or even just double blades and all very highly rated disposables too so often, they were having to go over areas for me that were just not close enough. They gave me a few of these and told me to use for my next appt. I noticed they can even remove peach fuzz off your face. I can go over the peach fuzz with any of those disposables you get at Target, etc.. or even the higher cost non-disposables and I can see in a magnifying mirror that there's like 1/4" remaining. Not with these!! I wouldn't use them to shave my legs or underarms, but for small regions, they're outstanding. I love them so much, I just purchased a box of 100. The personna blades are rated the best too, but all of those shavers are so heavy-weight, like 47 grams. What makes these so easy to use is how light-weight they are also.

Razors provide a very close shave with very little effort or pressure. Double edged so you can finish any task quickly and razor is easy to clean off with little or no cloging.

Pirate Bandage Assortment

Pirate Bandage AssortmentI'd had great luck with the 3" x 3/4" pirate bandages from the same company, so I decided to try these. They're adorable, and so much fun! The large bandages are perfect and stick quite well. Unfortunately, the smaller skull bandages (while really cute), are mostly gauze backing without enough adhesive area, so they just don't stay on very long.

So, these aren't the quality of Band Aid brand. They're the quality of a discount store generic bandage. You're buying them for the pirates, tho. I keep them in my bag during my daughter's Lakeshore Pirates softball games. Any cuts or scrapes now look like a fashion statement. Arrg!

The smaller bandages aren't really useful as bandages, and unfortunately those are the most abundant.

They should simply sell these as stickers.

Dixigear Ultimate Pro O2 Oxygen Backpack, Navy Blue

Dixigear Ultimate Pro O2 Oxygen Backpack, Navy BlueAs a medical-oxygen user who strives to remain active, I want to find a means to carry a d-tank via backpack. A filled d-tank weighs 6.4 lbs. which means an oxygen-user needs a good weight-distribution system in order to carry it. The seller advertises that the product has "waist belt assembly" which led me to believe that in addition to the padded shoulder straps, the weight was distributed by both chest and waist belts. The bag is sturdy, well constructed and has numerous smaller bags for additional supplies, BUT there is no waist belt and when loaded with the d-tank, it weighs too heavily on an oxygen-user's shoulders and back to wear comfortably for more than a very few minutes. As far as I can tell, there is also no way to add a waist or hip support-belt to this product. It probably would work for a fit emergency-services person, but it is not designed for an oxygen-user.

As a postscript to the review: The item was returned (at my expense), yet still took nearly 2 weeks and several "promptings" before the seller finally made the refund. I will not order from this seller again.

Good bag for light duty (personnal use) but isn;t designed or sewn to handle reptetitive use by Fire/EMS personnel. Backpack straps pulled loose from the stiitching on the bottom and where the elastic is sewn around the top of the outside side pockets, the sewn area was to close to the edge and the material gave way.

Overall design and configeration is good. Suggestion if you get this bag you might want to consider having the seams reinforced and sew a set of female quick connect buckles, 1 on each side, above the front outside pocket for one of the detachable bags to attach. Makes a great spot for your BP Cuff, Stethoscope, Gluco meter and Pulse Ox Meter.

Scissors: 5.5" Lister Bandage - Tactical All Black

Scissors: 5.5' Lister Bandage - Tactical All BlackWOW, these look pretty cool all black and everything, but that black will scratch off. They are also so dull you're probably better off getting scissors made for a 5 year old. They would barely cut through roll cotton. It's almost like someone took a pair of old bandage scissors and spray painted them black.

I received these in the mail and took them to work with me. I tried to use them to cut a string and I had a hard time getting through it. I would not recommend these scissors for work.

These scissors are terrible. They have been spray painted black to make them look like they are good quality, and they are all chipped and sloppy looking.. I will never purchase anything again without going over the reviews thoroughly. Big mistake.

I was looking for a small mix of common first aid items to have in my briefcase and while traveling. This kit is perfect. It has the right mixture of common drugs and first aid stuff to treat most on-the-road problems.

I've had this kit for almost two years now and I wanted to add to this review:

This kit has saved me three times while on trips. Once by back was hurting and twice I had an upset stomach and you know what. This would have potentially ruined several hours of a vacation, but I already had something to take for it. I even bought this kit a second time because I used so much of it I wanted to make sure I was covered.

This kit was invaluable on my last trip abroad. It has all the basic medicines you might need and supplies for blisters and small cuts. It's small size makes it compact enough to carry anywhere. I would highly recommend this for any trip! I plan on buying another one to keep in my car for minor emergencies.

I'm not a surgeon, but my life is full of tiny electronics and engines I pretend I can fix. The clamps, scissors and such are wonderful for the job and the whole kit costs as much as one doodlefarb like a heat sink or locking tweezers from an electronics outfit, so it is a steal. And it comes in a case, so I can misplace everything at once!

This is not the highest quality I'd hesitate to embark on brain surgery with this kit because an essential tool might break. But for the lab rat or vet, it's the cats meow. I got two kits, one for the first aid kit and one for the tool box. I added some syringe needles for digging out slivers and teasing needles for dissection, magnifier & flashlight and I'm good to go.

Want 24 U.S. Military Style Field Medic Instrument Kit Discount?

The instruments are as described and good quality. But, the case is not like the one pictured. The case is actually smaller and the instruments cannot fit without being stacked on top of each other. The zipper is longer than the case, which results in about two inches of overlap and makes it very difficult to zip back up.

I Received the kit fairly quickly on the west coast and I am very pleased. The instruments are stainless steel and are of very good quality. The instrument case is black as shown and is well constructed and padded. The case is a little long so it is not compact but that is the least thing. It is flat and stores very nicely I highly recommend this kit for the price.

Zim's Crack Creme Creamy Daytime Formula, 2.7 fl. oz. Tubes (Pack of 4)

Zim's Crack Creme Creamy Daytime Formula, 2.7 fl. oz. TubesZim's Crack Creme is just amazing. Seriously wonderful. But. They recently changed the formula. The first three ingredients USED TO BE: Water, Aloe Barbadensis Gel, Arnica Extract... Now "Arnica Montana Flower Extract" is *eleventh* on the ingredients list. (Amazon still lists the original ingredients list new bottles show the formula change.)

They've diluted the product. If you like how this stuff HAS worked for you, write the company, and tell them to bring back the real thing!!

thanks all.

This was the only product that I have found that makes my heels and rough dry hands feel smooth again. Just wish you could buy a bigger lotion size bottle and it was a little less expensive.

This is really good lotion once you get past the mediciney smell. My wife doesn't like the smell, but I have gotten used to it. Here in Colorado it is very dry in the winter and fingers tend to dry and crack. I have used Zim's for several years and it really helps to prevent or reverse dry cracked painful fingertips. It is habit forming, so get plenty. Amazon's price is pretty good with the free shipping. Beware of the Amazon vendors who will charge you $5 or $6 for shipping a $5 tube of lotion. I would not get it online if I had to pay shipping, because it costs about the same in Wal-Mart (in the pharmacy section).

I have been a letter carrier for the postal service for over 31 years. I have a lot of problems with the skin on my fingertips splitting near the nails. This is the best product to help moisturize to prevent this and to heal it after it happens. I have tried many different creams and lotions over the years and this is the best. Developed by a pharmacist. I was so happy to find it online at Amazon because the local wal marts and meijer stores where I used to buy it no longer carry it.

Curad Avant Gauze, 4 Inches X 4 Inches, 2 Pad/Pouch (Pack of 3)

Curad Avant Gauze, 4 Inches X 4 Inches, 2 Pad/PouchI wanted pads that were 100% cotton. These were the only ones I could find. I don't like the synthetic ones that all the drugstores now carry--they don't breathe. I actually like the thinness of these pads for the same reason--they let the air in. When I want a thicker pad I just double them up. They're very reasonably priced, too.

The pads are thinner than everything else I have every tried. I had to double up on them for every application just to prevent bleed through. When I ordered them I thought I was getting a bargain. I was wrong.

I haven't used it yet (thank goodness) but noticed that the expiry date is one year away. Can't help but think its old stock. Its not inexpensive so one should expect at least a 3 year shelf life if not 5 years. Otherwise its a good item to keep for emergencies.

I play with and use my knives. One time, I played too hard and experienced a deep cut on the outide of the pinkie. The Quickclot patch came to the rescue. Although I really needed stitching, the Quickclot and a tight tape over worked just as well. Of course, without the stitches, there remains more scarring on the pinkie. Chicks dig scars?

Prestige Medical Nurse Crystal Watch

Prestige Medical Nurse Crystal Watch
  • Nurse watch with Bling!
  • Fun and Functional
  • Military time

This watch is great. I'm a nurse and have been for 10 years, and this is my favorite watch I've had yet. I've had it now for about 4 months....Love the military/regular time, great for me to use at work and when I'm not at work. Numbers are easy to read. The little hands glow at night, would like a background that glows too but I still love this watch. Water resistant so I have had no problems getting it a little wet washing my hands and countless hand sanitizer applications over it without any problems. Could probably wear it in the shower, but I don't. Love that it's got a little bling to it, but not overly flashy. I wear it at work and when I'm not at work since it doesn't look too "nurse" like. Definitely would buy again!

Puracyn OTC Wound and Skin Care Spray, 8 Fluid Ounce

Puracyn OTC Wound and Skin Care Spray, 8 Fluid OunceI am a wound care physician and strongly support the Microcyn technology with electrolyzed water and hypochlorous acid. The is evidenced-based research to back up the antimicrobial and healing claims. The product is made by Oculus and packaged until several different names including Puracyn (over the counter human medicine) and Vetericyn (over the counter veterinary medicine)and Microcyn (prescription only human medicine).

Vetericyn VF Wound & Infection Treatment, 16 oz. Spray

My husband has battled chronic wounds for years because of peripheral neuropathy. We have been to wound clinics and tried all kinds of sophisticated medical products and treatments. We know more about wound treatment than most nurses we encounter and can tell if a wound is moving toward healing or not. We tried Puracyn on a wound we have been treating and were amazed at how quickly the wound responded and how the surrounding tissue we also treated became more healthy, particularly skin that had once been part of the wound. It takes many months--sometimes a year--for healed skin to become the normal, hardy skin we take for granted. Also, many antibiotic and/or germ fighting products hinder healing and Puracyn does not--it seems to encourage healing. We feel confident in its germ killing power. I hope it becomes more affordable for everyday uses.

I heard Oculus (the manufacturer of Puracyn) mentioned on "Bulls and Bears" about 3 years ago and started researching it.

Part of my retirement job is devoted to taking care of the 5 acres of woods around our house and am always getting nicks, scratches and tick bites. Bought a bottle and started using it on those things. It works wonderfully well!

When I remove a tick, I saturate a bandaid with Puracyn and keep it on the bite for a couple of days spraying it occasionally--the redness and itching goes away rapidly. Those with experience know you are still scratching the bite sometimes a month later.

What really first solidly sold me on the Puracyn was when I applied it to my right forearm which was covered with poison ivy rash and itching quite badly (even while using current Poison Ivy medications). On the chance that it would help, I sprayed the area with Puracyn and let it dry before going to bed. When I woke the next morning, the angry redness was gone and the itching had ended--Wow--never got rid of poison ivy that fast before.

While working on a friends garden tractor, I caught the heel of my right hand on a sharp metal edge and shaved off a 1" X 1/2" flap of skin leaving the muscle at the base of my thumb exposed. The flap was still attached at the top by a 1/4" tag. I washed the flap and denuded muscle with soap and water, saturated it with Puracyn (nothing else) and held the flap in place with a pressure bandage keeping it soaked with Puracyn. A little over week later, instead of dieing and falling off, it had changed from white to pink and had totally re-attached. There is a slight keloid scar around it now but other than that, it is totally normal.

I had/have Coronary artery disease which is aggravated by periodontal disease. I had periodontal surgery and now rinse my mouth with Puracyn to keep the remaining "pockets" from becoming inflamed. I always get good reports at dental checkups.

I'm almost 72 and the skin on my forehead is beginning to get thin and brittle, I spray Puracyn on it at bedtime and it keeps the tenderness in check. Finally, I started about a year ago mixing half Puracyn with Sterile Saline in a nose mister bottle and spraying my nose 5 or 6 times at least twice daily. I wait about a minute and spray a little more then blow it well. It keeps my head open and I haven't had a cold or flu since I started doing that.

With all that has happened, I am still alive and I'm like blind Bartemaeus in the bible who, when asked if Jesus had really healed him said, "All I know is that once I was blind, but now I can see!" It's good stuff folks and well worth the cost.
