Dual therapy features for advanced wound treatment
The RecoverAir 3000 uses both alternating pressure and low air loss to treat moderate to severe pressure ulcers. Progressive alternating pressure produces lower interface pressures and increased circulation to stimulate pressure ulcer treatment. "True" low air loss provides moisture and temperature control and improved patient comfort. The top cover is highly vapor permeable and oversized, thus reducing risk of friction, shear and complications of incontinence. As a mattress replacement system, the RecoverAir 3000 can be used with existing patient bed frames.
1,200 Gulf War Veterans Wrongly Told They Have ALS
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — At least 1,200 Gulf War veterans across the country have been mistakenly notified by the Veterans Administration that they suffer from a fatal neurological disease.
National Gulf War Resources Center Vice President Denise Nichols says panicked veterans from Alabama, Florida, Kansas, North Carolina, West Virginia and Wyoming have contacted her group.
The letters dated Aug. 12 were intended to notify veterans who have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, of disability compensation benefits available to them.
Calls to the VA were not immediately returned Monday.
Nichols said the VA is blaming a coding error for the mistake.
ALS is a rapidly progressive disease that attacks the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscles.
