Get a Free iPod

2008-08-20T10:39:00.001-07:00

So there is this new deal from Apple saying that if you purchase any one of their Macbook laptops from now until September 15th, they'll give you a free iPod. This is very fitting because I am in the market for a new computer and I have heard great things about the Macbook. One of my old co-workers at allegro medical recently relocated to the bay area in California to take a gig with Apple and he was the one that turned me on to the Macbook. I'm not big on iPods, but it's cool, I can just give it to my girlfriend. She is a fan of the new iPod touch.

Exercise and Rest

2008-08-13T14:46:00.000-07:00

So it's no secret, actually, it's kind of a no-brainer that exercise and plenty of good rest can jump-start your health. The hardest thing about exercising is just getting started so if you're looking around and feeling lazy, just think of your loved ones and I'll bet that if you start yourself on a good workout routine today, you'll have a few extra years to enjoy with them.

The Allegro Medical Affiliate Program

2008-03-05T14:57:00.000-08:00

We have recently launched our Affiliate Program and the exciting event is long overdue. Allegro has seen a lot of success since our first website launch in 1997. We have been able to keep ahead of the competition new to the market and keep up with customer demands. Our affiliate program has been an integral part to the success of Allegro Medical. When we first ran it close to half of a century ago, we ran it in-house and it was largely successful but in hopes of experimenting and reaching a different audience, we teamed up with Commission Junction. In hindsight, this move hindered our potential as medical supply affiliates.

In an attempt to touch base with our successful clients from the past and reach an even broader audience in our target market, we have yet again brought the affiliate program in-house and revamped it to fit our needs as well as the needs of our publishers. We are now able to offer a 5% commission on all sales. The result will equate to long and profitable partnerships for us and our affiliates.

X2 vest Weight Vest

2008-02-26T14:17:00.000-08:00

The X2Vest is the best selling weight vest at Allegro Medical. This item was featured on the Today Show on NBC a few years back. I have one myself and as a Kung Fu student, I love it. It really gives me a great workout and I can actually feel my joints gaining strength and flexibility. At first it was a bit tough and I was afraid of damaging my knees, but if you start out right and build up, this weight vest can help you lose weight, gain muscle, increase cardio endurance, and most importantly, increase confidence. I use mine for Kung Fu, but I know many other people use them in conjunction with weight lifting, running, jogging, playing basketball, and even just walking. Just wearing the weight vest is a workout. The important thing is put the right amount in to save your joints while you get a boost in your current workout regime, or just your after dinner walk.

A similar product was recently featured on the Oprah website. Someone had been on the show and used a weight vest to shed off unwanted pounds. It really is that easy, just wearing the weighted walking vest can increase your health exponentially.

Toilevator Toilet Riser

2008-02-25T12:28:00.000-08:00

Many elders and those with hip replacement kits have troubles with their toilet seats sitting too low. Sure there are plenty of grab bars and toilet safety frames out there, but the bottom line is the patient still needs to sit all the way down and pull himself/herself all the way back up. Good thing there is the Toilevator Toilet Seat Riser.

The Toilevator Toilet Riser was designed to provide a dignified, stable, cost effective and easy to install alternative to unsightly, hard to clean, elevated toilet seats. Unlike raised toilet seats which attach to the top of the toilet, the Toilevator installs at the base of the toilet increasing the stability of the commode. The Toilevator raises toilet seats a full 3-and-a-half inches to increase the quality of life and security in the bathroom. These have been used for many years and you can expect many more from a trusted brand in Toilet Elevators.

2008-02-04T15:05:00.000-08:00

Did you know that February is American Heart Month?

2008-01-31T08:30:00.000-08:00

February is American Heart Month and this is the month to promise yourself a better you if you haven't already for this wonderful 2008. February is always popular for Ash Wednesday, Chinese New Year, and of course, Valentine's Day. But one thing about February that is great, is that its the month that many volunteers from the American Heart Association visit their neighbors and get the word out in order to raise funds for research and education about heart disease and stroke, the nation's number one killer.

Although many of you are good to your sweethearts this month, don't forget to be great to your own heart. Get out, take a walk, have a stroll with the dog, enjoy the outdoors and enjoy your life, it's too short to be inside all of the time. Be good to your heart and it will in turn be good to you.

Practicing Home Safety

2008-01-23T08:54:00.001-08:00

Home Safety is a growing concern for families all over the world as more and more homes are having children or housing the elderly and those with disabilities. It's always a good idea to install extra grab bars in the bathroom to assist with mobility and comfort.

The Home Safety Council suggests these and more great tips to keep you and your family safe at all hours of the busy day. Visit their website and keep your humble abode safe and sound.

Daily Living Aids in The Bathroom

2008-01-18T08:38:00.000-08:00

The bathroom is such a dangerous place for elders or those with disabilities. They can may have trouble standing up from the toilet, need to sit down in order to bath, or worse, slip and fall on the tile due to a lack of handling aids available. Luckily, Allegro Medical has tons of Bathroom Assist items for increased safety, security and confidence in the bathroom.

Commodes and Commode Accessories
The Bathroom Commode is great for those who have difficulty getting on or off of the toilet. There is one with a weight capacity of 300 pounds from Invacare called the All-in-One Commode with height adjustments that can be made in 1" increments from 23" to 29". This is on commode that can be used bedside with a backrest or it can act as a toilet safety frame or raised toilet seat. If you prefer one that can store out of the way for relatives and visitors that come to town, perhaps the Folding Commode would be a better fit for you. For a mobile commode, there is a Drop Arm Shower Chair and Commode that converts into a wheeled shower chair as well.

Raised Toilet Seats
Depending on whether you'd like a elevated toilet seat extension or a kit that raises the entire toilet seat, there is bound to be a Raised Toilet Seat fit just for you. A popular model of toilet seat risers is the Toilevator Toilet Seat Riser. The Toilevator raises the entire base of the toilet off of the ground for more stability. We also have a Toilet Seat Extender with Arms to assist in your mobility on and off of the toilet that simply and securely attaches to any bathroom commode.

Grab Bars
Grab Bars are widely used in the bathroom, but this is an item so necessary for safety, it can be used anywhere in the house. They can be installed anywhere and used for just about anything. A very versatile set is the set of Suction Cup Grab Bars. Release levers make installing and removing the portable suction cup grab bars easy. Or if you prefer something installed check out the Invacare Knurled Grab Bars. Although not as mobile, these grab bars definitely do more than get the job done. They are rust-resistant and can hold up to 250 lbs.

Be sure to check out Allegro Medical for more of these Daily Living Aids and Bathroom Assist items.

The Cho-Pat Knee Brace

2008-01-08T12:41:00.000-08:00

Cho-Pat Dual Action Knee Strap

The newly patented Cho-Pat Knee Strap provides an extra dimension of relief for painful and weakened knees. It was designed to help nurse and prevent injuries.

The knee strap applies pressure upon the patellar tendon below the kneecap to stabilize and tighten up the kneecap mechanism, which improves patellar tracking and elevation and reduces patellar subluxation. It adds further strengthening to the kneecap mechanism by applying pressure on the tendon above the kneecap as well. This tends to reduce the forces of the quadriceps on the patella tendon and erosion of the undersurface of the kneecap due to a possible misalignment of the quadriceps (Q angle).

The device’s design and construction apply constant dynamic forces to the surrounding areas of the knee reducing the likelihood of overuse syndromes. At the same time, the strap allows for full mobility while providing maximum benefits.

The Dual Action Knee Strap incorporates some of the advantages of the original Knee Strap plus the added benefits of further strengthening the kneecap mechanism by applying pressure on the tendon above the kneecap as well. This tends to reduce the forces of the quadriceps on the patella tendon and erosion of the under surface of the kneecap due to a possible misalignment of the quadriceps (Q-angle).

Guide to Catheters and Urological Supplies

2007-12-19T14:12:00.000-08:00

Urinary catheters are used on patients that cannot urinate on their own for medical conditions such as prostate enlargement and incontinence, after certain surgeries, when the lower part of the body is paralyzed, or if the patient is unable to use a bedpan. Catheters come in various sizes, types and materials, and can be for short or long term (indwelling) use.

With long term catheterization it is important, to avoid urinary tract infections, to keep the catheter clean and bacteria-free. An indwelling catheter should be replaced every three to six weeks with a new catheter. Indwelling catheters require a bag to collect the urine. Leg bags are discreetly strapped to the patient’s leg for daytime use, and are easy to empty. For nighttime use, a bag is usually hung on the patient’s bed and emptied in the morning.

Intermittent catheterization is sometimes necessary after certain gynecological surgeries, or for conditions that require assistance emptying the bladder. Self-catheterization can be taught to most patients, for an as-needed solution to empty the bladder at least four times per day. The area is cleaned, then lubricant may be added to ease insertion. One end of the catheter is placed in a container, and the other is inserted into the urethra until urine flow begins. Once the flow stops the catheter is removed and cleaned for the next time, or simply thrown away. Training is required for self catheterization, so talk to your healthcare professional for assistance.

An external or condom catheter, which fits on the outside of the penis using adhesive, can be used for short-term catheterization in males.

Allegro Medical is the place to go for your urological supplies. We have every type of catheter, plus accessories, all at ultra low prices. Be sure to check out the Mentor Catheter website as well.

Catheters

We have everything you need for self catheterization with an Intermittent Catheter. Choose straight tip, hydrophilic, latex, coude tip, or whatever your preference. Purchase singly or by the case.

For latex allergies, use Latex-Free Catheters. There are many sizes and styles available. Or, choose a Hydrophilic Catheter which automatically lubricates with water. The Robinson Catheter is a straight catheter with two to six holes to facilitate drainage. Comes in stiff vinyl for easier insertion, red latex for increased radiopacity (difficult to penetrate with radiation and x-ray) or plastic. Some have guides built in to make self-catheterization easier. A Self-Catheterization Kit includes everything you need for self-catheterization – a catheter, sterile gloves, drape and swabs.

The Foley Catheter, for longer term catheterization, is available in a variety of materials including latex and silicone, with elastomers coating, hydrophilic coating, and silver coating for anti-microbial action. Foley catheters come in coude, (bent tip for easier passage through an enlarged prostate), two way or three way for use after bladder or prostate surgery. They are also sold singly or by the case - a great value from Allegro.

External Male Catheters reduce the risk of urinary tract infections, and are easy for patients to use. Available in latex or latex free, in several sizes for a perfect fit.

Catheter Insertion Trays include everything you need to insert a catheter, in one convenient package. Trays come with or without the catheter. Purchase per tray or by the case for best value. Stock up on Surgilube Lubricating Jelly in tubes or single use packs. We also have Irrigation Supplies including syringes, solutions and kits.

Urological Accessories and Miscellaneous Supplies

Allegro has Urological Accessories for your patients for less. Hold catheters in place comfortably with a velcro closure legband, made of surgical stretch material, so it’s gentle on the skin. Or, choose hypoallergenic tape with hook and loop fasteners or adhesive foam strips to keep tubing secure, for maximum comfort. We also carry straps for leg bags.

Replacement or extension Tubing for Catheters can make all the difference in comfort for patients and caregivers.

Get all your catheter Cleaning Supplies from Allegro Medical. Includes the parts cleaning brush, cleaning solutions and odor neutralizers. Also, for catheterization prep, get your antiseptic towelettes and iodine prep pads here, for less.

Urine Collection

Bedside Urinals for men and women are convenient for post-surgery and bedridden patients. Available in hard plastic reusable or disposable bottles. For catheterized patients, get bedside drainage bottles and bags with 2000cc capacity from all the top brands at great prices, right here at Allegro. Leg Bags come in all shapes and sizes, and it is a matter of preference as to which one is best for you.

Vacuum Erection Devices for Erectile Dysfunction

2007-12-13T13:19:00.000-08:00

Guide to Impotence Devices

We have many products for men suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED), or impotence. Erectile Dysfunction is the inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse. It can also include erections becoming weaker or less rigid on a regular basis. ED is common with those suffering from hypertension, diabetes, prostate cancer and other health problems.

Non-invasive erection aids, such as vacuum devices powered by a pump or battery, can assist with ED and premature ejaculation issues. Regular use of an Encore Vacuum Erection Device may help open and clear penile arteries and possibly restore them to their natural elasticity, allowing more blood flow to the penis. This results in more rigid erections. Vacuum Devices are completely external. The vacuum action increases the blood flow to the penis resulting in a rigid erection. A soft comfortable ring is then placed at the base of the penis to hold the erection longer. Our erection aids include instruction manuals and even 800 number assistance lines to ensure proper use of the products. These systems have proven effective in 9 out of 10 impotent men, with no surgery, no side effects, and are often covered by Medicare and insurance companies.

Take a look, and see how erection aids can improve your sex life, and help bring intimacy back to your relationship.

The Indo Balance Board

2007-11-28T10:55:00.000-08:00

The Indo Balance Board

Here's a great balance training product from Allegro Medical. Indo Balance Board balance training products have been used extensively by professional athletes and in physical therapy clinics as a means to increase core body strength and improve balance and agility.

While the Indo Board and other balance trainers are used by surfers, snowboarders, wakeboarders and skateboarders, word has gotten out that anyone can benefit from an Indo Board workout. 'Indoing' as it’s called, with an Indo Board can be surprisingly intense and fun at the same time.

Unlike stepping on a treadmill to grind out a couple miles, exercising on the Indo Board is simply a blast. When you first step on the Indo Board, even while holding on to something for support, you will feel the rush of exhilaration that comes with knowing that you might, at any moment, find yourself face-down on the floor noticing that it’s time again to get the carpet steam-cleaned. Soon though, you will gain the experience to ride the Indo Board for hours at a time while improving muscle tone, balance and agility. If you are into boardsports, from kiteboarding to surfing, you will benefit from your land-work with the Indo Board.

A Letter from the President & Founder of Allegro Medical

2007-11-16T12:55:00.000-08:00

Here is a letter from the president of Allegro Medical:

"Hello, my name is Craig Hood and I’m the President and Founder of Allegro Medical.

We’re a small business run by family and friends, competing with corporate giants like Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, Drugstore.com and Amazon. Although we’re small, our capabilities are big, our product selection is huge and our prices low. We don’t have budgets for multi million-dollar TV advertising campaigns or hopes of sponsoring a professional sports arena. Instead, we have spent time and money building automation into our business. This helps keep our overhead expenses down and our prices competitive with the giants. However, at the end of the day, it’s your decision to order from us that matters. So this is our “advertising”, so to speak. We have lots of great products and wonderful gift ideas for family and friends.

Please consider shopping with Allegro Medical or other small businesses this Christmas season.

Remember small businesses support America. In fact, small businesses like Allegro Medical represent 99.7% of all employers nationwide and account for more then 50% of jobs in the private sector. I would guess that many of you whom I am writing today likely work for a small company. So on with our self promotion and holiday advertising... Here’s What′s Hot This Season Allegro offers lots of great gift items, many of which you would expect to find in any of the "Big Box" stores. Here are a few suggestions on what′s hot this holiday season.

HoMedics Therapist Select Shiatsu Massaging Cushion

Perfect Pushup Ultimate Push Up Handles

MobiCam Ultra 900MHz Baby Monitor System

Light Relief Light Therapy

Radio Flyer Retro Rocket Car

Tek Pal Large Button Remote Control

Here’s What’s New at Allegro Medical in 2007 We continue to pioneer in our industry, launching the new “Shop by Condition”, a way to better find the products and supplies needed to treat and deal with a wide variety of medical conditions. Similarly, we are getting ready to launch the next innovative way to shop our website – “Shop by Body Part”. Enjoy this innovative and fun new feature with serious search results and let me know what you think. I would love to hear your feedback on this feature or any feature or improvement that would help us serve you better. Please email me anytime and to ensure your email makes it past all of our mail filters put “Craig Please Read my Feedback” in the subject line. We have added a “News Blog” section to the site and begun publishing useful guides to help select products. Last month we added “Google Checkout” as a payment option allowing our customers another more convenient way to purchase from our website.

Company History Our Company was started in 1996 with the idea of helping people. You see, for years I worked with people living with developmental disabilities and others recovering from traumatic head injuries and strokes. I understood the challenges in finding people the products needed for their recovery or to achieve more independence in their lives. The Internet seemed the perfect way to share great products with millions of people. So, we started off selling medical equipment and home health care products on the Internet in 1997. In fact, we were the very first in our industry to begin selling online. Since then, we have expanded into other areas like:

Exercise and Fitness Equipment

Unique Holiday Gift Ideas

Dietary Supplements

Board Sports

Maternity Care

Our first website offered about 500 products. Today we have more than 45,000. We have about 40 employees in our Tempe, AZ location that handle Customer Service, Product Management, IT and Accounting. We ship from distribution points around the country and on average, orders are delivered in about 3 days. Our Company is a fun place to work and a "dog friendly" environment. It′s not uncommon to see a Dakota (Black Lab), Angie (Beagle) or Tanner (Terrier) wandering the office in search of an unattended sandwich. We offer our staff good benefits, time off with pay, insurance, disability, pet insurance and much more. Please remember to tell your friends and family about Allegro Medical. We′re small enough to care but big enough to provide the service you deserve.

Best Wishes,

Craig Hood
President

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

2007-09-28T10:56:00.000-07:00

Breast Cancer is always one of those things, much like robberies or vehicle theft, that you just think is going to happen to 'other people.' Unfortunately, we're all 'somebody else' to somebody else.

Understanding and learning about Breast Cancer Awareness is the biggest step on the road to wellness for those diagnosed and more so for those close to the patient. There are many sites available for research with tons of great information. Two of the many can be found at The National Breast Cancer Foundation and Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
