Medline Adjustable Aluminum Cane

Adjustable Aluminum Cane - Standard Handle Aluminum Cane - Black - 6 eachI need a cane for safety walking. My old Medline cane was beginning to wear so I went on the Internet to find a new one as they are not in stores around here. Imagine my surprise when I found these! I have a habit of "parking" my cane and then forgetting where I left it. Now I have canes to spare and are never without one handy! They arrived on time, wrapped nicely and in perfect condition!

I am very happy with my purchase.

Curad Non-Stick Pads, 2 X 3 Inches, 10-Count (Pack of 6)

Curad Non-Stick Pads, 2 X 3 Inches, 10-Count I ordered this item back in the spring specifically because the picture on the item showed these were the non-stick pads with adhesive tabs. Obviously that is the item I wanted. I removed the first box from the plastic packaging and used it without issue. This weekend I removed a second box. Upon opening the pad I found there were no tabs. I looked carefully at the box and then carefully at the remaining boxes to find only the one box I initially used had the adhesive, all the rest were regular pads. I find this to be very deceptive and am really disappointed that amazon would pull something like this. Of course now it's to late to return them and get an exchange for the proper product. So if you're considering purchasing this item here is a picture of what you will ACTUALLY receive.

I wish these were easier to find in the stores. Tabs that stick on the side are nice and wide. I wish these were made in more sizes and I wish there was adhesive on all 4 sides. Perfect for wound care drainage, especially with the non-stick surface.

I've used these bandages for a long time. Being in construction cuts and scrapes happen a lot. I carry some in my lunch box, glove box, and depend on them. I like the ease of buying on Amazon for the convenience. My first place to look for something is Amazon. Since I live so far from town, it's cheaper to order the product than spend the money for gas and waste time in stores looking for it. Thanks Amazon for being there when I need something.

Theratears Theratears Lubricant Eye Drops Single Use Containers

TheraTears Lubricant Eye Drops, Single-Use Containers - 32 eaI use two boxes of Thera Tears preservative free eye drops each week because I have dry eye syndrome and Thera Tears makes the best single-use eye drops, no other eye drops works like Thera Tears single-use eye drops, I even tried Thera Tears single-use eye gel but it was not that good although it is a good eye lubricant it leaves lots of build-up and crust in and around your eyes. I also tried the regular Thera Tears eye drops which contains prexervatives, but I could not use it as often as the preservative free singles because if I used it more than five times in one hour it tended to irritate my eyes and it did not provide as much lubrication as my eyes needed. The only proplem with Thera Tears single-use eye drops is the price, Thera Tears single-use eye drops cost about 11-14 dollars a box depending on the store you buy them at, Target is the cheapest place to get these eye drops, you can get these eye drops for $9.99 plus tax at Target. You can also buy them at Amazon for $10.25 a box and no additional charges will be added if you order more than one or two boxes when you make your order because you don't have to pay the shipping & Handeling fee if your order is about or more than $25.

Don't buy Thera Tears single-use eye drops at Walgreens or Rite Aid because it is a ripoff, if you are lucky Wal-Mart will have them, althoug most of the time I go to Wal-Mart they are out of Thera Tears singles because people buy them as soon as they are placed on the shelf, even when I go to Target I usually get the Last box, the Price Club or Costco used to sell two boxes for $13, what a deal, but they stopped carrying them.

I've been using eye drops for the last 13 years, and I tried every brand one can imagine, but for the last 4 years I've been using Thera Tears singles exclusively, because no other eye drops provide such Lubrication to the eyes. Eventhough Thera Tears single-use eye drops cost me a fortune so far, I don't feel like it was a waste of money because my eyes need such Lubrication.

My work requires constant computer use and I live in a cold climate so the central heating is almost always on; both of these lead to extremely dry eyes. I tried just about all of the preservative free-drops and decided these were best for use during the day. They are not thick, but they lubricate well.

Though it is not recommended (and I am NOT suggesting you try this!) my ophthalmologist said it was okay to reseal preservative-free drops if your hands are clean, no part of the dropper touches the eye and any unused product is tossed within 24 hours. You used to be able to do that with these drops, but no more. They changed the dropper so it can't be resealed. It also has a new shape, almost like a bent crochet hook, and the drops sometimes do not want to flow out. I feel like I am going to gouge my eyes out with the dropper because it is awkward to use. If you are environmentally conscious, the vials are placed in separate foil packages (that isn't new, though it is perhaps unnecessary).

Clearly, I am very disappointed that they changed these drops. Though I still love the formula and think it is effective, I now use Systane.

After Lasik surgery, both THERA TEARS and Systane continue to work best for me. Thera Tears gives you the most "bang for your buck" with respect to how much fluid each single-use container holds. (This is definitely great if you need to flush out your eye.)

After Lasik, it felt like people (including my Dr's office) were pushing the REFRESH line: Refresh Plus, Refresh Optic Sensitive, etc. Keeping these vials on hand were also VERY expensive!

Finally it hit me to try a few different eye drop products, and THERA TEARS was one of them. I was pleasantly surprised!

After Lasik I recommend the following Preservative-free vials:

1. Thera Tears

2. Systane

3. Blink

The best part is, just a few weeks after surgery, I found myself putting in eye drops only 2-3 times a day! (Upon awakening, once during the day, and before bedtime.) This is amazing considering you're asked to put drops in every 2-3 hours.

Lastly I tried Refresh Celluvisc GEL *out of curiosity*, only to discover that it dried out my eyes! I actually woke up in the middle of the night because of the discomfort.

I've had severe dry eye for 6+years now. I've used preservative-free thera tears this whole time. They started out with a sturdy little vial that had a resealable tip. Now they've extended the tip with a long "neck". When I open the vial it is sometimes still sealed shut. Other times it just squirts everywhere. It's such a waste. Many people are complaining but Advance Research isn't doing a thing about it. I guess we need to log more complaints. E-mail address: info@theratears.com

3% Hydrogen Peroxide Wipes, Wipes Hydrogen Perox Cann 40Ct, (1 CASE, 6 EACH)

3% Hydrogen Peroxide Wipes, Wipes Hydrogen Perox Cann 40Ct,I'm a believer in the power of hydrogen peroxide for simple first aid; however, a bottle of peroxide doesn't travel well and requires long-stemed cotton applicators or gauze pads to treat a cut or scrape. Get in a hurry, and one risks contaminating the entire contents of the bottle with backwash or second wetting of the same applicator. These wipes surprised me. They're like most any wet wipe moist towelette in the canister, and they work quite well.

They lost a star for two reasons: First, there are no first sheet starting instructions. I worked from the center of the roll out, and that turned out to be correct, but the first few sheets tore away from the rest of the roll necessitating fishing out the next sheet and starting over. Second, there are no "safe to flush" instructions, so I've refrained from flushing a used towelette. Instead, I just wrap a used towelette in a few sheets of t-paper or a paper towel and put it in the trash.

A plus — if the towelettes dry out (they haven't, but if they do) just moisten the roll with a small amount of hydrogen peroxide from the bottle you no longer have to take with you.

The First Years Gumdrop Pacifier Wipes

The First Years Gumdrop Pacifier WipesThese wipes are great for travel, however, they are a bit expensive and small. I got them with the intention of using them not only to clean off dropped pacifiers, but small toys, and bottle nipples as well! They are in an easily dispensable package with a great snap-shut cover, but when you pull the top one, 3 or 4 come out, which means you're wasting a few every time you are trying to use just one. They also leave a little bit of a weird taste on the pacifiers/nipples-I didn't think they would, but after I used it for the first time and them gave the pacifier back to my daughter she pulled it right back out of her mouth and made a funny face, so I wiped it down again and then put it in my mouth and sure enough, there's a cleaning product type taste. Now I just use these to wipe down small toys that are in the diaper bag (rattles, etc.).

I was expecting something that would be made of natural ingredients especially since it is used on something that my baby puts in her mouth. After using a wipe I feel like I needed to rinse that off too. Would only use wherever water is available to rinse off the residue from the wipe.

These work well in an emergency but they do leave a funky taste that may need to be rinsed off.

I bought these for our son's (4 months)pacifiers and small toys. We travel alot and are at A LOT of outdoor events that don't always have a convenient place to wash dropped items off. The wipes are small and will clean a binkie or a small toy but not much else. They do leave a bit of an after taste on the items. The package fits well in the diaper bag and has a great closure on it so that the wipes don't dry out. I think a baby wipe would probably do the same job as these wipes but I do like them...not sure I will buy another pack though

Want The First Years Gumdrop Pacifier Wipes Discount?

These wipes have a very strange and unpleasant artificial apple scent that is layered over the strong chemical scent of the wipes. In addition, the wipes left an odd residue on anything I used them to clean. I had to rise the pacifiers and toys with water to remove the strange residue; this defeats the whole purpose of the wipes. I would not buy these again, nor would I recommend them to anyone else.

Henry Schein Vienna Nasal Speculum, Economy

I'm very pleased with the speculum, it's a profesional tool, should last long even after a lot of sterilization cicles.

You should have all sizes if you are in a similar situation, plus pediatric sizes too (still looking for those).

Delivery was on time and price was right.

Spenco 2nd Skin ScarGel

Spenco 2nd Skin ScarGelI would have liked a bigger bottle..I was using the product two times a day which resulted in the bottle getting over in less than 2 weeks. This didnt leave with much certainty on whether it was working or not. I know of better and more efficient scar products (Ambi fade cream for one), and I would definitely recommend them over this one.

I love this product, when used twice a day I saw results on raised scars within weeks. It's not sticky like other scar removal gels, easy to apply and stays on through daily activities. On my second bottle and still seeing improvement each week. Highly recommended for scar flattening!

Tenderskin Paper Tape 2 Inches X 10 Yards - 6 PiecesI have purchased this identical product at local pharmacys at a much higher price and it is very compforting to know one can get medical supplies that one needs, at a very reasonable price.

The stretch is the same, but I think the product is just a little thinner making it easier to keep it on. The material is maybe a little slipprier under clothing so does not seem to roll as easily as the kinesiotape. I like the price and would prefer it if it turns out to be more economical. The glue for those that I tried it on, seemed comparable, but I beleive the difference was the thickness of the material.

I liked this for my runs, but I will tell you, make sure there are NO oils on your skin. I had to use rubbing alcohol (even after showering) in order to get it to stick, and make sure you don't do your exercise right after putting it on. Normally Kinesio tape should last a couple of days, but mine barely lasted one... it's still nice to have for my runs, but I will probably look for a different tape next time.

Flexicon 3' X 4.1 yds Sterile Conforming Stretch Bandage, 12-Count BagsLove this gauze! Caring for 3rd degree burns was taking a toll on my cask flow buying these from CVS. These work wonderfully and are cost effective too.

I ordered this particular brand mainly because that is the gauze wrap used by the doctor. While I did not receive the "exact" Flexicon blue striped bandage, what was sent was actually a much stretchier product and I really like it as well or better. I will order again as this wrap will be needed well into 2013. Good job and great shipping time.

NEW SKIN LIQUID BANDAGE BOTTLE .3 OZ

NEW SKIN LIQUID BANDAGE BOTTLE .3 OZThere is no doubt about it. New Skin stinks. It smells up the room when you use it and hours later you can still smell it. But it works. I often have small cuts and abrasions and since I'm a swimmer I try to avoid going to the pool when I've got an open cut. New skin fills the gap and keeps your scrape protected until it heals over. I like it better than a Band-Aid because a Band-Aid can trap moisture and leave your skin white and clammy underneath and takes a long time to heal.

While I could wish this product had a better smell, I'm willing to deal with the stink because it works. 4 stars.

I forgot why I bought it,I didn't know it would be such a big help. The day before my birthday, I got a big zit in the middle of my right cheek..I manage to pop it out(don't do that), because I didn't want it to be big, red and swollen. I applied two coat on top of the zit, after it dry, I apply foundation and concealer on top of it, so that the makeup wouldn't have direct contact to the wound. It stayed put all day and all night long, even the makeup remover couldn't take it off..2 days later, the dead skin came off, my scar completely fade away!!! I was so amazed...couldn't believe my eyes..This is a must have for girls who have pimples and use makeup, this definitely help to keep makeup away from making the pimples getting worse..

I have been using this product since I was a kid, as my mom used it before me. She is a hairstylist, I am an electrician, but regardless of occupation, I can't imagine a time, (on appropriately sized wounds), that this product isn't perfect.

Does it sting? Yessir it does. I use it on wounds that are probably supposed to be to big for it, so believe me, I have dealt with some stinging. However, as some other reviewers have said, not only does the stinging subside relatively quick, but with it goes the original pain.

Does it stink? Eh, I guess, but when a product works, it's forgiven. Meet someone who is not the most attractive person in the world and then fall in love with them, it might not make them a beauty queen, but they look better all the time to you.

Simply put, this product, when used correctly, works. my recommendations are as follows.

1. Put this product on as you are watching your evening TV. This will accomplish three things, one, it allows you to apply and let dry without thinking about it, two, while you're sleeping, it seems to setup extra strong. It will not just rub off throughout the night, and with no hand washing or anything going on, it really has a chance to take. Finally, you at least have that first overnight period of healing under your belt, and you will often times be amazed at what that small amount of time can accomplish.

2. Apply New Skin generously. As it settles it will thin out, but how thin do you need it to be? I apply two, sometimes three coats.

Using these two tips, I have had wounds heal incredibly fast.

Does it sting when applied? Yes. It's an antiseptic, so this shouldn't really come as a surprise. The sting wears off very quickly, approximately one minute. As far as the smell, I think it smells goodin fact I usually take a whiff before putting the cap back on the bottle. I'm surprised to see that others do not care for the smell, but to each his own. It takes about 5 minutes to dry, not 10-15 as another reviewer wrote. This product works great for blistersI've put it on fresh blisters and been back outside working without gloves immediately afterwards. It can tend to peel a little, but can easily be reapplied, right over what's left of the previous application. Once dried, it's wise to let it peel on it's ownit does become skin-like and force-peeling it can reopen the wound just like picking a scab. This product protects and disinfects, while letting air reach the wound to promote faster healing, and most importantly allowing the flexibility to do manual labor that regular bandages would not stand up to. A quality product that should be in everyone's medicine cabinet!

Want NEW SKIN LIQUID BANDAGE BOTTLE .3 OZ Discount?

I have found New Skin liquid bandage to be really effective, particularly in treating smaller cuts and abrasions. It comes in a bottle with a brush on applicator. New Skin's active ingredient is the antiseptic 8-Hydroxyquinoline. As applying New Skin to a cut basically seals up the wound, it's best that the wound be disinfested, and be as clean as possible, before you apply the product.

New Skin can definitely sting when first applied, but the pain usually doesn't last long, and the liquid typically dries very quickly. Even when it hardens, the substance is still relatively flexible, and will "crack" when bent or stressed. This is generally a good thing, as being flexible the "bandage" doesn't tend to do additional damage by further tearing the skin. Often, just a slight reapplication to fill up the cracks works well.

I find that wounds sealed with New Skin tend to heal faster, and require less care. New Skin is supposedly breathable, and water-resistant, which can be very convenient. For added physical protection, you can apply a Band-Aid or equivalent over a wound.

The product seems to work well on various types of wounds. It's great for straight "paper cut" wounds. And also for scrapes or abrasions where there is loose skin hanging. New Skin can be used to "glue" down loose flaps of skin, which may promote faster healing, and depending on how badly the tissue is damaged, might in some cases, help reduce scarring.

Although New Skin contains an antiseptic, using the brush applicator might be a potential source of infection. Say a person has a wound that is bleeding, and New Skin is brushed on. If you insert the brush back into the bottle, you may be contaminating the remaining solution with blood, skin, dirt, germs, or who knows what. A 0.3 ounce bottle of New Skin can treat a great number of wounds. It seems logical that the more times you use the brush on various wounds, the higher the possibility that some kind of contamination might occur.

While this is probably not a life threatening situation, being a little more conscious about hygiene when using New Skin or any liquid bandage, seems like a good idea. If possible, try and stop any bleeding before applying. The brush is extremely convenient, but using a clean cotton swab to apply the product, may help to reduce the chances of contamination, particularly with a messy wound.

Unless you treat a lot of injuries, a bottle of New Skin can last for quite a while. Having used New Skin for many years, I have seen the product degrade over time. Normally the liquid is clear, with a consistency similar to nail polish. When it gets old, the color can get darker, almost brown, and the solution can get gooey. If this starts to happen, I would toss it out and get a new bottle.

When used appropriately and with care, New Skin liquid bandage is a great product that helps you heal faster. It's widely available in drug stores, so you may be able to get a better price locally. New Skin is also available in 1.0 ounce bottles (New-Skin Liquid Bandage -1 fl oz) and a spray (New-Skin New-Skin First Aid Antiseptic Liquid Bandage Spray for Larger Areas).
