Quit Wettin’ the Bed, Fred

The start of a new school year is stressful for everyone, but even more so for families with bed wetters. Besides the lack of sleep and overall frustration you’re ALL feeling, your child is also likely dealing with significant emotional and social issues associated with bed wetting.

If you are tired of the stress (and mess), try a bedwetting alarm as a training tool. 

Bed wetting alarms detect moisture and awaken the child when just a drop or two of urine hits the sensor pad.  They are worn in the child’s undergarments.  Check out the unisex DRI Sleeper Alarm System.  There is also a Nite Train’r for Males and a Nite Train’r for Females.

Crissy, an Allegro customer from Fullerton, CA says, “Our six year old son never had dry nights, even as a preschooler. He is a very sound sleeper, but after two nights he began waking up to the alarm…he has had three dry nights during the third week of use.”

Don’t wait until you’re at the end of your rope. Hopefully a bedwetting alarm will quickly let you remove bedwetting from the list of stressors in the morning rush to school.

No more Starvin’, Marvin

It’s no secret that kids don’t always eat right. At least when they are home, you can do a better job of monitoring it. Once they’re off to school it’s anyone’s bet. If you know, or suspect, or have been told that little Suzy is not getting enough calories, there is a simple answer. Supplement their meals with balanced shakes, juice drinks or puddings. We have a complete selection of Child Nutrition products – our most popular being Pediasure, Boost Kid Essentials, and Boost Pudding.

These products cover picky eaters, skinny kids, special needs, gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, reduced appetite, super-active, low-weight, chronic illnesses, short-term illnesses, malnutrition – pretty much everything. There’s no reason for you to worry about Junior getting enough to eat.  Kids love this stuff.

Be Ready, Mama Betty

School time means toting kids around. Sometimes toting other people’s kids around. Even if you’re not driving with kids, we all need to pay attention to this. Are you prepared for an emergency? Here is a checklist of things you need in your car in case you’re stranded or in an accident:

Have a safe and happy school season.  And thanks for being an Allegro Medical customer. We appreciate your business.

It surprised me to learn that more than 1 million people in the U.S. experience a significant slip, trip or fall each year.  And an average of 17,000 of them die because of it. 

According to the National Safety Council, 70% of slips and falls occur on level ground, by everyday people like you and me.

The risks of falling increase as we age.  Annually, about 30% of those age 65 and older fall at least once, and 15% fall twice.  Many falls result in broken bones or death.  Of course there are risk groups among children as well.  Infants are more likely to fall from furniture, while toddlers are more likely to fall from windows. 

The good news is that most falls are preventable.   What are you doing to prevent falls in and around your home?

TravelJohn Disposable Urinal – For when you really have to go and there isn’t a bathroom in sight – or it’s nasty or inaccessible.  Can be used by men, women and children – standing or sitting.  Neat, huh.

Another option (for men, anyway) is the McGuire Urinal with Sewn-in Sheath.  Very popular.

Car Caddie Helping Hand - Offers a helping hand for getting out of cars, trucks or vans.

Handybar 3 in 1 Car Aid - Every single car should have one of these within reach of the passengers.  I bought one for everyone in my family for Christmas.  It could save your life.  The 3 – in 1 Car Aid features an emergency  seat belt cutter, side window breaker and arm support for exiting the vehicle. 

Eye Pillow with ergoBeads - Okay, for sure this eye pillow is not for the driver, but the passengers will love it when they’re trying to nap.  It keeps out the light plus it cools and soothes your eyes.  For maximum comfort add a neck cushion!

Car Seat Belt Cushion – Extra padding for pregnant drivers or people who don’t like seat belts.

Dream Ride SE Infant Car Bed- Super affordable and highly praised, this infant car bed is perfect to keep newborn’s developing organs un-scrunched during travel.

We hope you have safe and happy travels all year long.  Speaking of safety, here’s your bonus product:  Emergency First Aid Auto Kit.

And do me a favor (besides ordering something):  When you write a postcard to someone be sure to say, “The weather is here.  Wish you were beautiful!”  That always cracks me up.

Seriously though, thousands of people every year are injured or killed by preventable falls in the home.   What a way to go, right?  Especially when you could have done something about it.

Bathroom Safety

 Shower Chairs and Bath Seats – Make personal hygiene a whole lot easier.  Allegro has more than 70 to choose from in everything from bamboo to teak.  Our most popular is the Height Adjustable Shower Chair.  It’s super sturdy and lasts forever.  Bath benches can also be sat next to the tub when you are bathing the kids or the dog.  Saves the ‘ol knees.

As always, thanks for being an AllegroMedical.com customer.  We appreciate you business and your referrals.  Please remember us for all your medical supply needs.

Caregivers, we know that you’re exhausted most of the time and your job is difficult no matter what the situation.  Here are some products that will relieve some of the stress, improve the independence of your patient, resident or loved one and make everyone’s environment safer.

Gait & Transfer Belts - A gait belt is a safety device that goes around someone’s waist and aids the caregiver in moving the person from one place to another, like from a chair to the bed.  It can also be used to help hold a weak person up while they walk.  The belt, when used right, reduces strain on the caregivers back and keeps the patient from falling over.  How do you use a gait belt?  The belt goes outside the person’s clothing with the buckle in front.  Thread the belt through the buckle and lock it in place.  Make sure it fits snuggly, but with room for your fingers under it.  Always bend your knees and keep your back straight when helping to lift or move someone.  Don’t twist.  Lift with your arms and legs, not your back. 

Transfer Devices – These safety boards and discs come in all shapes, forms and price ranges.  Essentially, a transfer device helps someone slide from one place to another or, pivot to one position or another.  They are great for transfering someone from a chair to the tub or commode, or in and out of bed, or in and out of the car, etc.  There are also Patient Turners and Boosters to painlessly and easily move them in bed.

Post-Surgery – Recover safely and comfortably with products designed to accomodate your special needs.  We also have safety products for bedridden and post- knee replacement and hip replacement surgeries.

Bathroom Assists – I can’t guess how many injuries and fatalities could be avoided if the bathrooms had been equipped with a few simple products!   Choose from a variety of shower chairs & bath benches, toilet safety frames, bath mats and grab bars to get your bathroom up to snuff in one fell swoop.  Oh, and if you’ve ever wondered where to find those non-slip strips to stick on the bottom of your bathtub, they are called bath safety treads.

Mobility Items – If they can walk, but they’re weak or unstable you may consider a cane, rollator, standard walker or wheeled walker.  For knee surgeries and other special situations, check out our selection of specialty walkers and pediatric walkers.

Transport Wheelchairs – an easy and safe way to get from here to there, especially during travel and outings.

Syringe Disposal – Get all of your Sharps containers at Allegro for safe containment, transport and disposal of needles, lancets & syringes.

Bed Rails – No more worry about falling out of bed!  Great for kids or the elderly.

  Child Safety – Let us help you keep your kids safe in the home, car and when you’re out and about.  We have unique safety gizmos  that even you parents-of-the-year probably haven’t imagined.

Personal Protection – For everyone’s sake, keep the germs and other critters at bay.
