Excess IV supplies!

[Jane]

We have so many extra IV supplies. If anyone could use them, we'd be happy to send them out.
The boys haven't touched them- most of them are in the bags from the home care company. Here's a list:


3 boxes of 100 non-latex gloves


102 10ml syringes saline flush exp. 12/15


18 5ml syringes saline flush exp. 10/15


30 10ml syringe heparin exp.8/15


21 10ml heparin exp. 12/15


2 boxes 200 alcohol wipes large


1 box alcohol wipes small


7 dressing change kits

If you had a home care nurse, see if he or she can use any of the supplies. When I switched from a PICC line to a port, I had a lot of extra PICC supplies I have to her. She likes having the extras, in case she has a patient who hasn't heard of an item, like the line extensions, or doesn't have the item.

My IV nurse wouldn't accept extras but recommended giving them to a veterinary office. My local vet was happy to accept all the flushes and I was happy not to throw them out!!

I have been donating my extra port supplies to my veterinarian's office for years!

I donated $500 worth to my local SPCA/humane society and they sent me a letter for a tax deduction.
they will gladly accept supplies/NO meds

Janelle, the dressing kit is Med Stream Dressing Change Tray MSDC-014702 if you want to look it up.
We used it for both ports and PICC changes.

Thank you Jane. I did check our dressing kits, and the numbers are different, so i am thinking they might not work. I hope soneone else can use tgem thiugh. Janelle

Not sure if you have Medshare in your area but they take a bunch of unused medical supplies: http://www.medshare.org
