I'm an RN who works in the trauma ER. These will cut through any type clothing. Even tough fiber motorcycle jackets, including leather.

I've used them in the field for the last 8 moths without any problems, they will cut through everything you will come across in the field with ease

Good for stuff like clothing and underwires. Horrible for dressing supplies.

I've had these for quite a while, I've never had a problem cutting through any type of clothes including underwire etc... However, I have upgraded for a bit more cost... If you want to make an investment that will last a long time, look up Leatherman Raptor... Its GREAT, pricey... but guaranteed for 25 years.... If you don't need all the other tool combination.. This is one of the greatest trauma shears I have ever owned!

Me too! Just been a few days. Researched lots. Bought the True2Go kit at Walgreens for about $15. Comes with just 10 strips <buy these for extra!>, and has a bag of lancets but you'll need more after a few days.Go with 33gauge for comfort.Works on tough skin, too by adjusting the depth setting on the lancer from 1-5. I began with 1 and went up until it pricked my finger with the 3. Highly suggest the True2Go. Takes the littlest dtop of blood, very gentle on the skin once you find the depth dial you need. I use 3, my bf needed a 5 <he tested the unit for me>, holds many readings in memory, too! Me too! Just been a few days. Researched lots. Bought the True2Go kit at Walgreens for about $15.

Yes wireless! I haven't seen my nipples poke through it, it has a pretty good layer but I have small nipples.... Hmmm.

I can say I would recommend it, but having one if my wife had that problem it is one solution I would try, with teh caveate tht I would wear my good glasses (for up close work) and cut it myself with her sitting very still. It would depend on how much post you can get exposed, if it is tight in the ear, I don't think I would try it.

I do not know what " EMT " is. This is a good cutter for copper tube. It takes a little practice to learn correct use. If I had this question I would call Milwaukee customer support. They are nice and very good on product use.

Send pictures so I can give a better qualified opinion. Just kidding that was terrible. I suggest something else. There is a holster that clips to your bra where the cups come together. You tube has some videos on them.

Dear Sonia, I guess no one has told you, but the pad is only meant to lay on. I have one and I put it under my body when I'm in bed, whatever part I want to stop hurting and it works very well for me. there are other types meant to stay on parts of the body like the elbow, ankle, knee or the neck. You can put the pad in your bed or chair with the foam side down, try that. BUUUUT,if you jes wanna git creative you can sew it into a T shirt and wear all the time jes make sure the mags face you. Or now that I'm thinkin' abt it, for my shoulder sometimes I'd jes get some decently strong mags and put them on a strip of the clear medical tape n tape it to cover the area of concern but only for like two days per time, that works too.

No, but normally a tubing style cutter on emt leaves a internal burr that can cut your wire and cause it to short if not filed down.

Yes, I suggest surgical scissors similar to the ones a nurse might use. Also I rinse the scissors with alcohol before making the cut. Make sure the remaining material is stored in a germ free container or reseal it in the original package. Simply use germ free procedures as nasty bugs are every were as you know. Good luck.

I'm sorry I have no idea. You may need to contact the company. http://www.vetinst.com/skin1/admin/UserFiles/File/JS%20PDF/EMS%20UNIT.pdfThis is a link to the places on the body that you place the pads on. Ignor the reviews of the unit. Also sorry for the people who barely have on clothing but those are the areas where the pads go

There is a cane called " Hurrycane" which sounds perfect 4 your needs. I looked it up on Google after asking a nurse what would be safest.

I added trauma shears (I can't remember if they came in the kit) a tourniquet, a BVM, some more bandages and odds and ends. The big thing was a legitimate tourniquet and a BVM because if I come up on an incident where someone is in desperate need of help, those are gonna make the difference instead a bnch of bandaids.

I use an electric carving knife to trim down foam mattress toppers. Foam cuts like butter, you must be careful as it's so easy to cut too much off, plus make sure what ever is underneath while cutting doesn't get sliced into. :)

These did not fit me, but I'm a woman. I suspect that by "medical grade" you're referring to what doctor's would recommend. Doctors typically measure your legs and feet, then prescribe fitted compression socks. They're very expensive, but they are wonderful for those who have serious circulation problems. If you're just looking for quick fixes (such as wearing them on airplanes) these would work fine. But if you have medical issues, then you may need to get a doctor to measure you and prescribe compression socks.

What i did with mine was cut out the cloth dividers out and then placed my bras so they'd fit. It works well.

Also, consider getting the freemies hands free pumping flange attachments if you will be doing a lot of pumping. Tgey work much better than a hands free bra.
