Different Kind of Wrist Braces, Wrist Splints and Wrist Supports carried at Primo Medical Supplies in San Antonio

Your wrist is the joint between the two bones of the lower arm (radius and ulna) and the five bones of the hand and is made up of eight carpal bones. The muscles and tendons attached to all these bones allow you to rotate your wrist, as if screwing in a light bulb, and bend and flex your wrist, as if bouncing a basketball. Because of the complexity and frequent use of the wrist joint, injuries are common.

PROLITE® 8" WRIST SPLINT
Breathable foam material with a low contour at palmar crease to provide full finger dexterity and hand use. Removable palmar stay and side stays give maximum support and immobilization. Loop lock closures. Specify right or left.

CARPALMATE® WRIST SUPPORT
A lightweight wrist support designed to maintain the wrist in a neutral position while allowing full finger dexterity. The molded portion of the support prevents the wrist from dropping and prevents excess thumb and little finger opposition. Controlling these motions will prevent excess flexion of the wrist and finger flexor tendons, thus avoiding overuse. Overuse can cause tendon inflammation that puts pressure on the Median Nerve and is the cause of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Support is held in place by a wide elastic strap for comfortable compressive support at the wrist.

THERALL™ JOINT WARMING WRIST SUPPORT
The Therall Joint Warming Wrist Support is constructed with four-way stretch material for light compression to counteract swelling. Material has ceramic fibers that insulate the joint by retaining heat and slowly reflecting it back into the joint and surrounding tissues. The result is therapeutic heat penetrated deep into the aching joint, muscles and surrounding tissues to provide long-lasting, soothing relief. Support promotes healing by increasing circulation around the tender joint and improves joint mobility to allow for faster return to daily activities. Can be used with Therall Body Warmer Patch (sold separately) for over 12 hours of soothing heat therapy.

Provent Sleep Apnea Therapy at Primo Medical Supplies in San Antonio

Provent is an FDA approved treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea which is clinically proven to be effective in reducing daytime sleepiness and nighttime snoring. Simple to use and extremely compact, Provent works with the user's own breathing to treat OSA.



Do you know someone who has untreated Sleep Apnea because they cannot adapt to CPAP therapy? Or have you ever wanted an easier way to travel and still be able to treat your sleep apnea? Provent is an option to treat OSA without using a machine and mask. Place the Provent MicroValve over each nostril to create airway pressure during exhalation and prevent the airway collapse found with OSA. In the morning, remove the Provent devices and dispose of them.


The Provent Starter Kit offers a unique "step up" process as an introduction to Provent therapy allowing time to become accustomed to therapy and give the best chance of success.


Is Provent Right For You?

Newly diagnosed with OSA but not started treatment because the machine and mask were uncomfortable? Provent provides treatment for OSA using only a very small nasal device.
Frustrated by traveling with a CPAP set up? Frequent travelers find that Provent is discrete and greatly lightens their load.
Given up on CPAP therapy? Provent treats Sleep Apnea without the use of a CPAP machine and mask.
Never found a nasal mask that worked or still suffering morning with red marks and pressure points? Provent touches only the area around nasal openings and has no straps or buckles.

Note: Provent requires a prescription. Discuss Provent with a physician to decide if its an option that may work in treating your OSA. 


30 Day Starter Kit
Adjusting to any medical therapy takes time. The gradual step up program found in the 30 Day Starter Kit is the result of Ventus Medical conducting clinical studies with Provent. The Starter Kit slowly introduces the new user to breathing with Provent by increasing the resistance level and allowing time to become accustomed to the change in exhalation.

The Starter Kit includes three phases:
Phase 1: Nights one and two - lowest resistance (Yellow background with Pink text)
Phase 2: Nights three and four - middle level of resistance (Orange background with Yellow text)
Phase 3: Night five and forward - therapeutic level of resistance (Light Blue background with Orange text)
The Quick Reference Card, Application Instructions and detailed Welcome brochure provide all the information needed to use Provent.

Features of Provent include:
One Time Use Nasal Devices
Starter Kit - Step Up Resistance Levels
Travel Friendly
Hypoallergenic Adhesive
Easy to Use and Convenient
Small, Discrete, Portable Pouches
FDA Approved
No Equipment Setup or Maintenance
Suitable for Claustrophobia
Proven Effective in Clinical Studies
Treats Mild, Moderate and Severe OSA

How Provent Works
Provent is designed with a unique, patented MicroValve that is placed just inside each nostril. It is secured using hypoallergenic adhesive developed with Johnson & Johnson and is similar to a band aid. During exhalation the air is channeled through small openings creating pressure which keeps the airway open, much like the pressure delivered by a CPAP machine. During inhalation the valve opens to allow airflow into the body. Unlike CPAP treatment which increases airflow during both inhalation and exhalation, Provent increases pressure only during exhalation. Provent is powered by exhalation.


Travel Friendly
Traveling with a CPAP means carrying on the machine, mask, hose and extension cord and hoping that nothing is lost or broken during the security check and travel.
The small and simple design makes Provent ideal for travel. It can easily fit into a purse, pocket, shaving kit or carry on bag. Because Provent does not use electricity it eliminates the hotel room hunt for an outlet to plug in a machine. Some users elect to use Provent for travel and CPAP when at home.

Prescription
A prescription is required to make a purchase of Provent. The prescription should be written specifically for "Provent" or "Provent Therapy". The prescription can be sent in via email to primomedicals@gmail.com, by fax to 1-210-399-3561. A prescription for a CPAP or BiPAP cannot be used to purchase Provent. Speak with your physician about Provent Therapy.

Beginning Provent Sleep Apnea Therapy
A good first step is to watch the Provent Instructional video. It can be found on our YouTube channel. The adjustment period for using Provent Sleep Apnea treatment may vary from one person to another. Some people easily begin treatment while others experience a longer period of adjustment. It is suggested to apply Provent just before laying down to go to sleep. The new user will become accustomed to feeling resistance while breathing out through the nose. The three phases of the 30 Day Starter Kit provide an adequate adjustment period to get used to sleeping with the devices. 

Where to buy a Provent Starter Kit or where can I buy Provent in San Antonio?
You can buy Provent at Primo Medical Supplies a Medical Equipment Store located in San Antonio Texas. We are located at 7515 Grissom Rd Suite 107 San Antonio Texas 78251.

Why do you need a Blood Pressure Monitor?

A sphygmomanometer, blood pressure meter, blood pressure monitor or blood pressure gauge is a device used to measure blood pressure, composed of an inflatable cuff to collapse and then release the artery under the cuff in a controlled manner, and a mercury or mechanical manometer to measure the pressure. It is always used in conjunction with a means to determine at what pressure blood flow is just starting, and at what pressure it is unimpeded. Manual sphygmomanometers are used in conjunction with a stethoscope.



A sphygmomanometer consists of an inflatable cuff, a measuring unit (the mercury manometer, or aneroid gauge), and a mechanism for inflation which may be a manually operated bulb and valve or a pump operated electrically.

Types of Sphygmomanometers:


Manual sphygmomanometers require a stethoscope for auscultation. They are used by trained practitioners. It is possible to obtain a basic reading through palpation alone, but this only yields the systolic pressure.
  •          Mercury sphygmomanometers are considered the gold standard. They show blood pressure by affecting the height of a column of mercury, which does not require recalibration. Because of their accuracy, they are often used in clinical trials of drugs and in clinical evaluations of high-risk patients, including pregnant women.
  •          Aneroid sphygmomanometers (mechanical types with a dial) are in common use; they may require calibration checks, unlike mercury manometers. Aneroid sphygmomanometers are considered safer than mercury sphygmomanometers, although inexpensive ones are less accurate. A major cause of departure from calibration is mechanical jarring. Aneroids mounted on walls or stands are not susceptible to this particular problem.

ANEROID SPHYGMOMANOMETERS


Digital or automatic blood pressure monitor, use oscillometric measurements and electronic calculations rather than auscultation. They may use manual or automatic inflation. These are electronic, are easy to operate without training, and can be used in noisy environments; they are not as accurate as mercury instruments. They measure systolic and diastolic pressures by oscillometric detection, using a piezoelectric pressure sensor and electronic components, including a microprocessor. They do not measure systolic and diastolic pressures directly, but calculate them from the mean pressure and empirical statistical oscillometric parameters. Calibration is also a concern for these instruments. Most instruments also display pulse rate. Digital oscillometric monitors are also confronted with several "special conditions" for which they are not designed to be used, such as arteriosclerosis, arrhythmia, preeclampsia, pulsus alternans, and pulsus paradoxus. People measuring blood pressure in patients with these conditions should use analog sphygmomanometers, because, when used by a trained person, they are more accurate than digital sphygmomanometers. Digital instruments may use a cuff placed, in order of accuracy and inverse order of portability and convenience, around the upper arm, the wrist, or a finger. The oscillometric method of detection used gives blood pressure readings that differ from those determined by auscultation, and vary according to many factors, such as pulse pressure, heart rate and arterial stiffness. Some instruments are claimed also to measure arterial stiffness. However such machines are not recommended for regular users, because machines that are claimed to have 3% accuracy rates are usually inaccurate to over 7%, and may give two different readings when checked at the same time. Some of these monitors also detect irregular heartbeats.

Blood Pressure Monitors in San Antonio



Operation of Blood Pressure Monitor:
In humans, the cuff is normally placed smoothly and snugly around an upper arm, at roughly the same vertical height as the heart while the subject is seated with the arm supported. Other sites of placement depend on species, it may include the flipper or tail. It is essential that the correct size of cuff is selected for the patient. Too small a cuff results in too high a pressure, while too large a cuff results in too low a pressure. For clinical measurements it is usual to measure and record both arms in the initial consultation to determine if the pressure is significantly higher in one arm than the other. A difference of 10 mm Hg may be a sign of coarctation of the aorta. If the arms read differently, the higher reading arm would be used for later readings. The cuff is inflated until the artery is completely occluded.

With a manual instrument, listening with a stethoscope to the brachial artery at the elbow, the examiner slowly releases the pressure in the cuff. As the pressure in the cuffs falls, a "whooshing" or pounding sound is heard (see Korotkoff sounds) when blood flow first starts again in the artery. The pressure at which this sound began is noted and recorded as the systolic blood pressure. The cuff pressure is further released until the sound can no longer be heard. This is recorded as the diastolic blood pressure. In noisy environments where auscultation is impossible (such as the scenes often encountered in emergency medicine), systolic blood pressure alone may be read by releasing the pressure until a radial pulse is palpated (felt). In veterinary medicine, auscultation is rarely of use, and palpation or visualization of pulse distal to the sphygmomanometer is used to detect systolic pressure.



Digital instruments use a cuff which may be placed, according to the instrument, around the upper arm, wrist, or a finger, in all cases elevated to the same height as the heart. They inflate the cuff and gradually reduce the pressure in the same way as a manual meter, and measure blood pressures by the oscillometric method.


Why is home monitoring important?

Charting provides a "time-lapse picture"

Your healthcare provider will want an accurate picture of the situation inside your arteries. One measurement taken at the doctor's office is like a snapshot. It tells what your blood pressure is at that moment. Since there are no symptoms for HBP and no way to sense fluctuations in blood pressure, measuring is the only way to get the facts. Readings can vary throughout the day and can be temporarily influenced by factors such as emotions, diet and medication. A record of readings taken over time can provide you and your healthcare provider a clearer picture of your blood pressure. It can be like a time-lapse picture or movie, providing information on what is happening with your blood pressure over time.

Home Monitoring is Important

Charting can help eliminate false readings
Some people experience anxiety when at a doctor's office, which leads to temporarily higher readings. This condition is known as "white-coat hypertension." At the other extreme, some individuals have normal readings in a professional's office but elevated readings outside the office. This condition is often referred to as "reverse white-coat hypertension" or "masked hypertension."


Note: Such false readings can lead to over-diagnosis or misdiagnosis of HBP. Self-measurement at home is good to reveal whether your blood pressure reading in the doctor's office is correct.


Who should home monitor?

Home monitoring may be especially useful for:
  •          Patients starting HBP treatment to determine its effectiveness
  •          Patients requiring closer monitoring than intermittent office visits provide, especially individuals with coronary heart disease, diabetes and/or kidney disease
  •          Pregnant women since preeclampsia or pregnancy-induced hypertension can develop rapidly
  •          People who have some high readings at the doctor's office, to rule out white-coat hypertension and confirm true HBP
  •          Elderly patients, because the white-coat effect increases progressively with age
  •          People suspected of having masked hypertension
