Diabetic Patients Use Jetted Bathtubs For Critical Footcare
October 12, 2009
Diabetes is a disease growing significantly in the United States. The American Diabetes Association states that 8 percent of the U.S. population, or 23.6 million people have either Type 1 or 2 diabetes. It accounts for more than 60 percent of non-traumatic lower-limb amputations. The rate for amputation in diabetes patients is 10x higher than it is for people without the disease.
People with diabetes and neuropathy are vulnerable to footcare and wound issues. The use of whirlpool hydrotherapy baths and soaking can help improve circulation. “…This kind of bath tub will help the foot gently be massaged, which helps the foot begin to circulate blood more evenly. … [These tubs] are easy for any patient to use in their home or at the hospital. The patient simply puts their foot into the hydrotherapy whirlpool bath tubs and allows it to soak for a prescribed amount of time. This therapy can be repeated over the course of days or weeks, depending on the condition of the patient and the recommendation of the physical therapist of primary physician. While the tubs won’t completely heal the poor circulation, there is significant evidence that using a bath tub like this for therapy will reduce the possibility of ulceration and the need for amputation of the foot in severe cases.” This article by Gary Gordon is helpful in describing the therapeutic effects of whirlpool or jetted tubs for diabetic patients with neuropathy or peripheral vascular disease and can be found here: http://www.articlesbase.com/health-articles/hydrotherapy-whirlpool-bathtubs-help-rehabilitate-patients-414251.html

Custom Metalwork For Railings With Beauty AND Safety
October 4, 2009
Last week our dear client, Mrs. M, had some medical issues. Sis told us that she will probably need that walk-in bathtub as soon as next week when we are scheduled to start the project.
As we talked, Sis was real worried about the front door which Mrs. M uses regularly with no handrails. She grabs ahold of the brick on the side of the house to pull steady herself as she climbs the two steep steps.

Lori called up another great “couple company” that she’s know quite well — Cobalt Designworks to help design, build, and install wrought iron railings. Mrs. M wanted something that matched the design of her home/landscaping AND was safe and functional. Jennifer Corio, the Owner/Designer, and Dave Frei, the Owner/Production Manager, have great ideas to meet her needs. Find their beautiful metal designs and projects at www.cobaltdesignworks.com . Besides railings, you can find gates, signs, furniture, sculpture, and public art.
Lori met Jennifer and Dave at Mrs. M’s home last week. It was great that the Best Bath System Walk-In Bathtub was delivered while we were there. All 300 lbs by the trusty FedEx man. She inspected the biscuit jetted tub and extension to find no transportation defects.
There will be 3 designs for Mrs. Mand Sis to review in about a week. Sis has a good design eye having been a florist for many years. Mrs. M will choose her safe and beautiful wrought-iron railing soon.
