Prestige Medical Supplies 'Belt Clip Organizer Kit'

Prestige Medical Supplies 'Belt Clip Organizer Kit'
  • Organizers

This nurses kit is pretty much the average one you can get. The good thing is the clip. The bad thing about it is that its big.

I'm sure it can fit some scrub pockets but if you have smaller pockets, it will not fit.

Overall the material is very durable and the penlight is okay. The scissors are plain metal bandage scissors and they are heavy.

I'm a nursing student and the uniforms they provided for us are terrible when it comes to places to put things. This helps me keep everything together and is within my budget as well, and came with some extra stuff that I have used.

Latex-Free Kids and Adult Bandages/Bandaids- Multiple Colored 40 Count Full Size

Latex-Free Kids and Adult Bandages/Bandaids- Multiple Colored 40 Count Full SizeEven though they are latex free, there is a band-aid shaped rash/red mark left on my daughter's skin after these come off. She's three, and bandaids rarely last for more than a few hours so it isn't like she's getting extreme exposure for days at a time. They are stiff and plasticy. I'll stick with the name brand stuff from now on.

I got these at the Dollar Tree and didn't expect much of them. I only got them because my little one always want a band aid even for the smallest, unnecessary, bump. I would let him put on one of these since they were cheap. They fall off pretty easily...maybe within a few hours. And they will slide right off if you get them wet.

Good for when your kid insists on getting a band aid. Bad for actually using to protect wounds.

I've never ordered them from Amazon, I get these actually at my local dollar store... these are unquestionable worth it for a buck... how much would I be willing to pay? Not sure... they will lose their stick in the pool/bath/shower, but for everyday general wear, we've never had a problem and they stick just fine. We've never had any rashes or red marks from using them.

I bought these for three reasons: they don't have cartoon/TV characters on them; they are latex-free; they are colourful so the kids would like them. The only thing they have going for them is the colours. I'm very disappointed in them. They do not stick. They don't stick to skin; they don't even stick to themselves. They most certainly wouldn't stay on if they got wet since they won't stack on dry skin.

There isn't a whole lot to say about these. I bought them for my 2-year-old son as a Christmas present. He obviously loves them and fixes all my boo boos. I haven't actually had one over a cut, but they seem pretty standard. Not too sticky, but good enough. If you want sweat or moisture resistant these are probably not a good choice. If you want to spend under $3 for an awesome Christmas present for a toddler, you have a winner.

First Response® Early Result Pregnancy Test

First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test, 3 tests, Packaging May VaryI know the box says you can get a positive up to 5 days before your missed period, but everyone needs to understand that you CANNOT get a positive until after implantation occurs. This might happen early... but it also might not. Read the directions and the percentage of women who actually get a positive 5 or even 4 days early. I didn't get a positive with my son until AFTER I was a day late and with my daughter it was only 1 day early.

I bought these tests because most of the reviews and the manufacturer themselves claim that they are "the most sensitive on the market." I have to COMPLETELY disagree. I took this test a day before my missed period (NEGATIVE), the day of my missed period (NEGATIVE), two days after my missed period (NEGATIVE), and three days after my missed period (NEGATIVE).

I'm already a mom and have been pregnant before, and suspecting that I indeed was again, I decided to try a different test, E.P.T, on the third day of my missed period (immediately after I got the negative from the First Response). I got a VERY faint plus sign using the E.P.T., but a plus sign nonetheless (POSITIVE). To confirm, I tested the next morning with two other brands (ClearBlue and Generic), and also got positive results (this time much clearer and more obvious). For kicks, I tested with another First Response at the same time as I tested with the ClearBlue and Generic, and was appalled to see that it was still negative and obviously incorrect at this point.

I am fairly well educated on the subject of pregnancy and pregnancy testing, and I know all about implantation and the reasons why a pregnancy test can be negative for a few days after a missed period before it turns positive. I understand that first of the morning urine has the highest levels of HCG, and always made sure to test first thing in the morning. What I will never understand is why a test that is supposed to be so "ultra sensitive" didn't pick up on my pregnancy when literally every other test did. I finally got the FAINTEST positive on the First Response when I used the last test I had this morning, 5 days past my expected period. Bizarre.

I'm just glad that there are other brands out there that could easily confirm my suspicions, despite spending a small fortune on pregnancy tests. :-)

I missed my period & tried First Response Pregnancy Test. What showed is a very faint pink line which the instructions said is POSITIVE! I went to the doc who took my urine test & the doc said it's negative. I thought this product [stinks]. But then I still didn't have my period so after 3 days my doc took my urine sample again & took my blood and yup! I'm really POSITIVE! That means this First Response Pregnancy Test really works! It beats my doc's pregnancy tests!

These used to be my gold standard. I'm an infertility patient and have taken a test or two or 18374627462 in my lifetime. If I was not pregnant, they were stark white. Painfully white. 1 hour, 2 hours, 10 weeks later, the test is still white.

They must have changed the test. I'll tell you why.

I tested 4 days before my period (11dpo). It was negative, but a few minutes after the allotted time, there was a faint line. I knew better than to believe that was a positive, but being FRER, who've never had evap lines, I was a little excited. I tested again a few hours later. Same thing. The next day, I tested with a NEW box, that I had on hand from a previous cycle.

The line was pink in the allotted time!!! I was thrilled!!!!

Accu-Chek Accu-Chek Aviva Plus Test Strips

Accu-Chek Aviva Plus Blood Glucose Test Strips, 100 CountI receive these strips every 3 months through mail order who bills my insurance. However they only send me enough

for testing once a day. There are times when I feel I should test more than that so unfortunately I run out before my next delivery.

I would go to the pharmacy and purchase strips which are VERY expensive and I would pay out of pocket. I looked the item up on Amazon I was able to purchase three boxes of the exact same strips through Amazon or the same amount I paid for one box. They work the same and I am very happy.

I received them in record time an am very satisfied. I would purchase again!

Am very satisfied with Accu-Chek Aviva Plus Test Strips! The price was excellent, other places (Wal-Mart, Walgreens etc.) were ridiculous 3-4 times more with their prices. I was a little skeptical when I ordered, but when the product came I was pleasantly surprised ... the expiration date was 30 Apr 2013, still good for 1 year. I would definately purchase from this seller again!

I purchased the item and the box looked opened. it was closed with a piece of tape and inside there were only 32 strips instead of 50. Also, there was a strip with a blood stain which was disgusting. when it comes to this kind of product, the least you expect is a clean and sanitary item, but I was horrified when I checked it out.

We received the test strips on time. The box was previously opened and the computer chip had a different code than the two vials of test strips, which made the product completely useless.

ECONOMY VALUE BUTTERFLY CLOSURE STRIPS LARGE 100/BOX

ECONOMY VALUE BUTTERFLY CLOSURE STRIPS LARGE 100/BOXThe size is 100% correct and that is why I gave it 2 stars. However, if you have ever seen what I call a "real" large butterfly bandage it will be this same size except if you look closely you will see a "weave", sort of clothlike and thin but sticky, really sticky. That is what you will find in any good first aid kit, these strips are useless without some serious taping. The tape you need will look "weaved", sort of clothlike and thin but sticky, really sticky. Sometimes it is just called "Athletic Tape". Not paper tape and certainly no tape labelled "OUCHLESS". That is code for "Won't stick". You can remove any tape by soaking in warm water. The tape should not touch the wound directly. Once you have the right tape you can just make your own butterfly bandage that will actually stick (google it). I went to 5 retail pharmacies including a "high end" one. They all had similar crap, some a little better, some a little worse. All require serious tape which negates the whole point of the butterfly bandage.

/end rant

edit:

Also, I don't understand how someone can give this product 5 stars when:

1. They admit in their review they never even opened the bandage and looked at it

2. Have never even seen a different brand product to compare it to.

3. Never used it on an actual wound

Check my pics of this bandage made by Dynarex by clicking on the pictures in the item description.

So, now i have a box of useless plastic that won't stick to anything. No room for movement and just simple pressure makes them pop off your skin. I waited a week to get something that will do nothing.

The product itself is awesome, every bandage is individually wrapped and looks to be as high quality as name brand stuff. I would suggest also having another container for the bandages though, my box was crushed in the mail, not the sellers fault and it isnt a complaint because I already had a separate container for them ready.

Cortizone 10 Hydrocortisone Anti-Itch Liquid Easy Relief Applicator -- 1.25 fl oz

Cortizone 10 Hydrocortisone Anti-Itch Liquid Easy Relief Applicator -- 1.25 fl ozI bought this as a companion product for the Cortisone 10 Intense Healing for Eczema product, which is amazing for mild to moderate eczema and sebhorric dermatitus (pardon my spelling)

This is a 1% concentration of Hydrocortisone, which is the same concentration as most hydrocortisone cream and ointments. It comes with a handy foam sponge applicator (think of a foam bingo marker) that can be kept in a pocket or bag, and is nice and compact for your travelling first aid kit.

I have sensitive skin with dishydrotic dermatitis on my hands and feet, and mild to moderate eczema on my inner arms and lower legs. I also will break out in hives along my hairline on my face for a myriad of reasons. This does a great job of calming the itch of the hives and the itch on my arms and legs. Note that hydrocortisone will thin your skin and you should make sure to use plenty of sunscreen if you are using these products to keep from excessive sun damage. You should also not use this stuff a lot, the instructions say 3-4 times a day, but on your sensitive facial skin, you may want to consider even less (consult your physician)

I love this stuff, and it helps a very sensitive situation.

This is very convenient for camping. I keep it in my camping stuff to wipe on bugbites and irritation, and for that it works fairly well. But it seems like it works no better than my 5% cream version from the same company..

Sea-Band Wristband Child Morning & Travel Sickness

Sea-Band Child Wristband, 1 pair 'colors may vary'I'm not sure if my 3 year old would have gotten sea sick or not, but she didn't while wearing these, so I have to assume they worked. My only small gripe is that there are different colors and you can't choose what color you want. I got pink, had I been buying for a boy he would have been pretty upset I'm sure. Amazon lets you pick colors of other stuff, why not these?

I ordered these because of the more expensive price and the fact that the title says 2 count, I thought that I was getting 2 sets...perhaps the wording should say 1 pair...Also I got Blue which is okay but would have preferred pink Amazon should allow consumers to choose their colors.

I have struggled with motion sickness all of my life, but only recently discovered that applying pressure to this specific pressure point relieved the nausea. I use the adult wrist bands myself when I go on trips or on a boat, so when my future step son kept getting car sick, I knew he needed the same thing. I looked everywhere locally for the child size wrist bands but couldn't find them anywhere. I was so relieved to find them on Amazon and for a great price! We have now stocked up and he wears one every time he gets in the car. He is 3 year old, they fit perfectly, and he loves wearing them.

Antiseptic First Aid Cream 7/8 Oz Tube

Antiseptic First Aid Cream 7/8 Oz TubeI have sensitive hands which crack and bleed in winter, I hoped this product would come to replace the discontinued J & J first aid cream, which I personal thought was great, amazingly healing.

My room mate bought 2, tubes 1 for me, one for himself. I've used it for a week but stopped, this cream makes my hands itchy it also has a mineral oil/ petroleum jelly feel, not cooling and soothing like the J&J product.

I'm not thrilled that this has dyclonine in it, often used in anesthesiology and dentistry, I don't need a topical anesthetic, nor am I a fan of several of the other ingredients.

Unfortunately my boyfriend sent me 6 tubes for Christmas, the six are going back.

It would of been very helpful to had a list of the ingredients, I would not of put this product on my wishlist.

My wife suffered very painful under arm chafing from shaving with my electric razor...We were on the road on a cross country trip, so I went to the first aid kit that came in my Hyundai Santa Fe(I sold the car but kept the kit!!), and found a tube of this product...Its effect was instantaneous, and almost miraculous!!The pain ceased instantly!!...After a second application the next day the rash totally disappeared!!

Medline Grab Bar

Medline 12 Inch Grab Bar, Knurled ChromeGreetings.

I purchased 3 of these Medline Knurled Chrome grab bars(2-24" and 1-32") for my father. I needed the "knurled" feature as these are for the shower stall, and thus needed the texturized grip.

The knurled part of the bar has excelent grip in both wet and dry conditions, and each bar comes with 6-2" wood screws and 2 white rubber installation-end-gaskets to cushion the bar against the wall for installation. They do not come with the plastic anchors for the screws that you need for installation into a concrete wall, those will have to be purchased seperately.

That being said, it's a bar that doesn't stick out too far from the wall, just about 3" (this is important if you have a small-to-medium sized stall, as the bars will reduce the space to move within the stall by anywhere from 3-5" in most cases, PER each side of the stall having a bar). Continuing,.....it's a bar, it works, it looks 1/2 way decent, it does its job quite well and it was/is relatively cheap via Amazon with the Free Super Saver Shipping feature.

The only complaints I have with the bars, are not so much with the actual bars themselves, but rather with two facts.

Fact one: Each bar comes in its own retail box, true, but, during the mailing of the product, Medline packaged each retail box seperately in a HUGE carton shipping box, with lots and lots of padding, so I received 3 incredibly huge-for-the-content and overly stuffed (paper stuffing too) carton boxes. This may seem like a pet-pieve but this just seems senseless for a company to do, especially when the object is to save money when you're shipping for FREE (they tripled their shipping costs and tripled their consumption of paper based shipping materials), and especially when all of the bars were ordered form the same vendor in the same order at the same time, and when part of the FSSS feature is to have the items come in as few shipments as possible. It just seems ecologically unfriendly for the times.

Fact two: The Medline bars, both the 24" and the 32" are advertised as 1.5" knurled diameter bars, but what I received was 3 bars of 1.25" (0.25" smaller) knurled diameter bars (stated on the retail box). I could see maybe one of three bars or maybe the 2 bars of 24" being the lesser-than-advertised diameter, as maybe they were out of stock, but all three? Somebody made a typo on the Amazon description page. I now live outside the continental 48 and it'd be too expensive to send these back up, so I'll just have to live with someone else's mistake. (Thankfully my father has smaller hands than me, so maybe this was supposed to be, but still......advertise it correctly or get the order right, otherwise don't send it out I say).

Thus based on those two facts, the bars get 4 stars, and not 5, for their rating. Then again, shipping was FREE, so what am I complaining about?...lol... you get the picture.

Ok, that's it, hope this helps you. Cheers!

Medline makes very solid knurled "grab bars" for the bathtub or shower; and these truly come in handy--even if you're not disabled. The knurled finish simply means that there are small ridges on the actual bar to help you hold onto the bar even when your hands are wet; and it's a big plus to have this bar to hold onto when you're getting in or out of the bathtub or the shower. The rubber pads do indeed come with this bar and so far the screws that came with this product have definitely been rust resistant. Great!

Another reviewer writes that they were annoyed by the way these bars are packed for shipping. Unfortunately, however, it's really the best way to send these through the mail. The sturdy and thick packaging prevents damage to the bars while post office employees throw your package all over the place. Moreover, the extra packaging prevents again damage to the bars as the box containing them gets bumped around on a postal tractor trailer truck or in the crate bin of an airplane.

On the plus side again, these bars hold my weight which, although it's more than I'd like it to be, is thankfully less than 250 pounds so I feel quite safe using them for support in the tub. It's good to be able to take a shower in the bathtub and hold onto this bar while I turn around in the shower so that I don't slip and fall. I suppose if you use these bars in the bathtub strictly for helping you to take a bath safely then you may want to attach the bar a bit lower so that you can reach it. If you have a rather small shower stall is very the bar could limit your space; but you'd really have to have a small shower stall since these safety bars don't stick out much more than 3 inches.

I honestly can't think of a single negative thing to say about these safety bars. My handyman was able to do the installation very quickly and that's another plus. I highly recommend these grab bars for the bath or shower by Medline.

We had several Medline knurled chrome grab bars installed in our shower for safety since I am a polio survivor who needs to be careful about falls. Our handyman had an easy time installing them (both vertically and horizontally on all sides of the shower) and they've been a great boon. The knurling makes them safe to grip even when your hands are soapy and they anchored very securely to the wall behind the shower tiles with the included screws after holes were drilled into the tiles.

As far as it goes, the grab bar is a good product. It's solid and appears well made -but the design is very deficient. Most homes built in certainly the last fifty years have 16" on-center studs -it's a building code requirement. So, a grab bar that will work in a normal home -even if it's called a 32" grab bar -needs to be somewhat like the dimensional lumber we now have: it's called a 2X4 but it's really a 1.75X3.5 piece of wood. Similarly, the 32" grab bar needs to be shorter than a full 32 inches in order that the outside (centered) screw holes actually grab some of the stud wood that they are supposed to be anchored to. I have seen some outrageously expensive designs which have variable screw holes (some as many as nine) so you can position your anchoring screws into the stud and not outside it. But that's an expensive and unnecessary luxury. It would be just as easy to make the 32" grab bar a 31" bar and move the upper and lower screw holes about 1/2" from their existing locations and you would have an exceptional product that would anchor into 16" on-center studs.

I have lately got to the age where I am a bit unsteady and need safety bars in my bathroom. After breaking my foot slipping while getting out of the tub, and having to wear a cast for a month, it was time so I finally bought this product, the 32" bar in white, and also two smaller bars, two of the 12" bars. Easy to install with my cordless screwdriver. Plenty of screws come with the product and also gaskets to keep water from getting under the edge of the bar. The bars look great (white, in my green and white bathroom) and I feel more secure holding onto my bars which are mounted so securely that I can put my full weight onto them. My conclusion is that these safety bars are a wise investment and they look fine as well. Recommended for all. Get them before you fall and break something like I did. I'm lucky only breaking my foot.

I have a wasp nest inside an outer wall where the vinyl siding meets the brick. I hung 3 bag traps that catch 10-20/day each, but it's not enough. I tried both Eco plant oil spray and dryer sheets thinking they'd abandon the nest because of the smell-not. I tried wasp "foaming" spray, but they just disperse when you spray, then fly back. I sprayed it into the cracks, but wasn't effective as it dissolves instantly.

So after all these attempts I thought I would try CS Foam. I zip tied a metal rod to the plastic tubing so I could jam it 3-4 inches under the siding. It foams up like crazy, similar to insulation foam, but less dense and thick. More like a light shaving cream foam. The foam lasts an hour. I stuck it into 3 mortar joints and sprayed 4-5 seconds until it spewed out. I did it midday when they were still active and soon there were a lot buzzing around trying to get in the cracks. Some landed on the foam and got stuck, but didn't die instantly. I put a rat glue board on a pole and left it at the main entrance. When I came back 1 hour later the glue board had 50 wasps plus a queen. I repeated this 2 more days and caught a second queen on day 2. So the glue board in combination with the foam seems to work best as it catches workers PLUS queens trying to get in. Not sold on the effectiveness of the foam by itself. I was hoping wasps would try to crawl through it. It seems it just prevents them from entering or leaving.

There is no nasty smell. It would be nice if it had an attractant that lured them to the foam and get stuck, otherwise not sure if it does anything.

Hypafix® Dressing Retention Sheets - 6 in x 10 yds Roll

Hypafix® Dressing Retention Sheets - 6 in x 10 yds RollAs someone who's severely ill, I have wounds all over my body. Some of them are in difficult locations (I.E. places that expand when you sit. LOL), and dozens of other brands of medical tape either come off, or tear. I've tried them ALL. Finally, desperate and out of options, I asked my nurses in Hyperbarics what kind of wound tape they used, since their dressings never came off. They informed me that it was called Hypafix, but would likely cost too much for me to buy regularly. Generally, that is a very true statement. But I found it here on Amazon, and in mass quantities for GREAT prices. Now my wounds stay covered and safe, and unexposed. This has helped to promote proper healing, and to keep my wounds from further infections. Honestly, if you're one of those people who are having a hard time keeping your wound dressings to stay, whether it be from a bad location to have a wound or from activities like sports or walking etc... then look no further. This tape WILL do the trick. Give it a try, and I know you won't be disappointed.

Thanks for your time folks.

Sincerely, R.A. McDowell

Hypafix fixed my problem with loose or unsecure bandages after two recent major surjeries. I watched how the DR. changed the bandages and what he used and I got Hypafix and did the same thing Hypafix Dressing Retention Tape: 2" x 10 yds Each
