Welch Allyn PocketScope Opthalmoscope

Welch Allyn PocketScope Opthalmoscope

Opthalmoscope is not a common word, at least in the average person’s everyday vocabulary. Opth denotes the eye. But what really is an opthalmoscope? It is more crucial to someone’s health than many realize.
An Opthalmoscope is a test that health professionals use to look at the structures inside the fundus of the eye. It is crucial in determining the health of the retina and the vitreous humor. That might not mean much to some people, but especially for a diabetic it could save them from becoming permanently blind.
This Welch Allyn PocketScope Opthalmoscope is an excellent portable piece of equipment. It fits in your pocket, is lightweight, and is great for general use. Some of the features include 12 aperture/filter combinations for greater versatility; fixation target and slit aperture on a 6-position dial, 48 focusing lenses for better resolution, and halogen light for true color and consistent long-lasting illumination.

Mueller Blister Kit

April 10th, 2012

Mueller Blister Kit | MFASCO Health & SafetyNow that the weather is changing, it is time to get outside and start exercising more. You may have already broken your New Years resolution, but in no time you can get back on track. Resolutions can be hard to keep if you don’t have support, accountability, and the proper tools to get you to your goals and beyond! Your body isn’t going to be used to the strain you are putting it through, so you are going to need some gear to push you harder so you are guaranteed to succeed.

When exercising, blisters are very prevalent. If the proper shoes, socks, and exercising methods aren’t used, a blister can form in minutes, yet cause days of soreness. The Mueller Sports Care Blister Kit contains everything needed for sports-related blisters! It comes with eleven foam pressure pads, which help protect blister corns, calluses, and friction-prone areas. Also, six moleskin hydro-gel pads are in the kit, that help prevent blisters and sooth them. Lastly, six adhesive mesh 1.5 inch by 3 inch and 1 adhesive 3 inch by 5 inch pad is included, to fit over the surface of potential blisters. These bandages will not sweat or wash off, which means they can be worn during exercise.

Our customer Scott R. has described this kid as a “can’t-go-wrong item.”

Don’t forget that if you don’t meet all of your quotas, that doesn’t mean you have failed! Exercising some is better than nothing at all, and in due time you can meet the goals you have set. First things first though, battle those blisters and get moving!

Mueller Basketball Shooter Sleeve

Mueller Shooter Sleeve

Mueller Shooter Sleeve

Without the proper warm-ups, protection, training, and nutrition, athletes can easily become injured.   Even though basketball isn’t a “contact sport”, physicians treat over 1.6 million basketball injuries per year.  As the number of basketball players grows, so does the injuries.  Knee injuries and Achilles tendon injuries are common, as well as arm strains.

Technology has provided a means to help basketball players prevent injury and improve their game. The Basketball Shooter Sleeve made by Mueller is an excellent example of new technology that is taking the basketball world by storm.  The shooter sleeve helps retain body heat, and is made of wickable fabric.  This new fabric is highly breathable and comfortable for sweaty athletes, and features a soil release finish to decrease odors and stains.

Between overuse (injuries induced by stressing an area over and over until it hurts) and acute basketball arm injuries (injuries caused by sudden force that need immediate medical attention), an athlete can never be too careful when trying to prevent injury.  See the Mueller Basketball Shooter Sleeve here.  We also have the McDavid Hex Pad Arm Shooter Arm Sleeve.

Therall Premium Arthritis Gloves

Therall Arthritis Gloves

The change in climate and weather can be difficult for those with arthritis. Many have been mislead to believe that cold weather is what causes problems, but this is not true.  An already limiting disease, the inflamed joints are sensitive to barometric pressure.  Weather affects arthritis symptoms such as aching, regardless of the overall average temperature, but more so the drop in the pressure. The damage of the joints is not increased.  Needless to say, the symptoms can be treated to improve comfort.

Our product, Therall Premium Arthritis Gloves, are designed to provide warmth and compression to inflamed areas around the wrists and hands.  The gloves reduce pain and swelling.  The neoprene material retains the body’s natural heat to provide soothing warmth.  Hands are kept dry with the soft lining.  Not only are these gloves great for those with arthritis, but they also are very useful for those with carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis.
If you are someone who suffers through changing seasons with crippling pain and discomfort, you don’t have to!  Try our product and you will love what these gloves have to offer.

Mini-Tweezer

We like to sell simple products that can make a great impact, and that is exactly what we have for you today!  Tweezers are an item that everyone should have in their first aid kit.  They are great because they are used to tend to a wound without direct contact.  The tweezer technology can prevent cross-contamination due to its disposable nature.

Having a small, jaded, thin slice of glass, metal or wood embedded in the skin is a seemingly insignificant injury that can cause discomfort at incredibly problematic times.   Tweezers are exactly what you need to get rid of this splinter and get on with your day!  Our mini tweezers measure 1.75 inches from tip to end, and are small enough to fit in personal first aid kits.  Also, they are economical enough to be disposable, ringing in at only .36 cents.

Splinters may cause you to cringe, but their price and quality of this product sure won’t!  If you use our products in a unique or interesting way, share your story with us and maybe we will feature it on our blog.

MediHoney Homeopathic Wound Care

MediHoney | MFASCO Health & Safety

MediHoney Wound & Burn Treatment

We are excited to introduce a new product to our customers. MediHoney is an innovative product that is on the cutting edge of wound care. Best of all, it is homeopathic! MediHoney is designed to heal wounds by using a special type of honey specifically from Leptospermum trees, a species grown only in Australia and New Zealand. By using MediHoney on burns and hard-to-heal wounds, it expedites the natural healing process, getting rid of the neurotic (dead) tissue and debris from the wound, encouraging the growth of healthy tissue.  MediHoney takes advantage of the moist wound environment and goes to work in the presence of blood, tissue, and wound fluid.  The product doesn’t stop excessive bleeding but rather heals wounds such as: diabetic foot ulcers, first and second-degree burns, and donor sites.

We offer the MediHoney  2X2 Dressing, MediHoney 4X5 Dressing and the  MediHoney Tube containing just the honey, no dressing.  Each product has been formed for a slightly different use. These products have been proven to work effectively by addressing the factors that delay chronic wound healing such as lowering the pH of the wound and encouraging osmotic activity around the wound.  Click on any of the 3 links above and learn more about how MediHoney can help you!  We look forward to hearing feedback about these new products and are happy to provide this line to our customers.

Medi-First Antacid Tablets

The holiday season is in full swing! Presents are being carefully picked-out, lights are being strung, and families are gathering together for meals. Along with all of the celebration comes stress and holiday treats that cause stomach ailments.  The digestive problems you are experiencing can be relieved with the help of our Medi-First Antacid Tablets.

These antacid tablets are chewable and sugar-free. They contain an aluminum-free calcium carbonate supplement and are designed to relieve heartburn, indigestion and sour stomach in a timely matter. The tablets are mint-flavored, which is a leaf often used to aid in digestion and soothe an upset stomach. Indigestion, or dyspepsia, can be caused by gastric, esophageal, ovarian, liver, or pancreatic problems. Notably, it can also be induced by eating too fast, too much of a greasy food, or drinking too much alcohol. No matter what the reason, the pain needs to be controlled.

As with any physical ailment, you should always consult your doctor.  If they suggest using an antacid, then give these a try, they really are effective.  Our Medi-First Antacid Tablets are packaged in a “pre-dose” package containing 2 tablets per package.  We offer a box of 250 packages, 125 packages or 50 packages ready to help sooth your holiday stomach symptoms.  They are sold at a low cost so our customers get more for their money! This product has been described by our customers as “Good quality,” and “as good as tums.”

Don’t spend another meal writhing with uneasiness and missing out on memories that can’t be replaced. Find our Medi-First Antacid Tablets here!
