Adult diapers on huge discounts

Adult Diapers

 

Adult Diapers are useful for adults – both men and women – suffering from incontinence. Incontinence is a physical condition where the person can not retain urine and it dribbles on and off. In stress related incontinence, a specific type, the person may pass small quantities of urine while laughing, coughing,  sneezing etc.  As a result of extra pressure on the abdominal muscles urine leaks out.  This may happen in social functions and wetting the clothes may cause embarrassment.  In normal urinary incontinence, urine dribbles involuntarily. Such a person may have problems of reaching / using a toilet nearby, no toilet may be nearby, he may be bed-ridden etc. In all such cases use of adult diapers is a solution.

 

It is available in medical and surgical stores.  It comes in four sizes: small, medium, large and extra large. Adult diapers may have some or all these features / qualities: Good absorbency,  antibacterial layers,  provision for easy fixing onto the waist, color indication of wetness, Leak guards preventing outer garments becoming wet etc. Some brands may be lightly perfumed to mask bad smell of urine!

 

Use of adult diapers is a convenience. It prevents embarrassment and stress / anxiety in searching for toilets. Visiting public toilets may cause infection, which may be avoided.  It is easy to wear. Persons with mental disorders may be given this, offering solace to the care giver!

 

Paramount Surgimed Limited is the only manufacturer – others are distributors – of Adult diapers in India.Their brand names are: Diapo and Arokleen.  They have Head office in Okhla, warehouse in Noida, factory in Bhiwadi (Rajasthan) and Sales outlets everywhere.  They claim their products are highly affordable. If you are wondering their website name and email addresses refer to blades, they are into manufacture of blades as well. Adult diapers are their recent introduction. Contact: Paramount Surgimed Limited.  www.paramountblades.com / sales@paramountblades.com /  abhay@paramountblades.com . Manjula: RSM: 9849747477

 

I have spoken to the RSM during Elders Mela in Hyderabad and they are ready to offer huge discounts to regular customers.

M. V. Centre for Diabetes plans to offer concessions to senior citizens

http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/industry-and-economy/economy/article3539719.ece?homepage=true&ref=wl_home 

CHENNAI, JUNE 17: 

The M. V. Centre for Diabetes in Chennai will offer concessions for senior citizens above the age of 80.

The centre has launched an outpatient privilege card that gives a 50 per cent concession on tests such as fasting, blood sugar, urea creatinine, foot examination, lipid profile and ECG. Dr V. Shanta, Chairperson, Cancer Institute, who launched the initiative, said: "Today, I am happy to see the people aged 80 years and above living with diabetes and leading almost a healthy life. I would acknowledge you all as living examples of people who have successfully encountered the challenges put down by this chronic disease 'diabetes' by following the appropriate lifestyle, keeping your body and mind healthy."

Dr Vijay Viswanathan, Managing Director, M. V. Centre for Diabetes, branch of M.V. Hospital for Diabetes, said: "The review of our records of patients aged 80 years and above revealed that 40 per cent of them are living for more than 20 years with diabetes. About 55 per cent are still on oral medications without insulin, 28 per cent are living without any diabetic complications, 2 per cent has undergone amputations and only 8 per cent has undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery. This shows that with regular medicine and lifestyle modification and proper awareness any one with diabetes can live a long and healthy life."

Male Senior Citizens Railway Concession raised to 40%

Rly Fare relief for male senior citizens

On the suggestion and appeal of Delhi Social Welfare Minister, Kiran Walia, for granting/extending relief and concession in Rail Travel to male senior citizens equivalent to female senior citizens, the Minister of Railways, Government of India, has agreed and granted relief to male senior citizens from 30 per cent to 40 per cent and also has reduced the age of women senior citizens from 60 years to 58 years. Walia in August 2010 appealed to the Rail Minister to enhance the concession in rail fare from 30 per cent to 50 per cent to the male senior citizens equivalent to the women senior citizens who were already granted rail fare concession to 50 per cent on the argument that there should be no distinction on the basis of gender, sex, caste, creed and religion.
