Comfort-Aid Gel Breast Pads
New Product
SWT has introduced a super absorbent wound care product.
"We often use Elasto-gel because it tends to keep the hypertropic tissue at bay, keeps wound bed moist and absorbs more
than Duoderm".

A friend of my mothers' had a burn that she had had for a year and a half that would not
heal. Since she was in such pain, my mother and I became involved in her care. She saw Dr.
Shahidi, a specialist on plastic surgery at Telemark Hospital. After two months with Elasto-Gel
and some surgery, her wound healed. The hospital only had one Elasto-Gel wound dressing, and the
Haukeland Hospital in Bergen had never heard of Elasto-Gel, but we were able to obtain more
dressings through another relative in the United States.
There is probably a need for Elasto-Gel at all hospitals in Norway and to the general public,
but to our knowledge it is not available at pharmacies or hospitals. Therefore, my mother and
I are planning to start a company to import these products. Our family comes to you with a wide
range of experience and education and we all speak fluent English. We have several questions we
need answered to start the process. You may contact me via e-mail".

"After leg surgery a few years ago, I was able to get Elasto-Gel through my therapist. When I had surgery again, I
did not need therapy and therefore did not have the contact to obtain the product. I called around and was unable to locate
a source to purchase Elasto-Gel. After contacting the manufacturer, they were able to help me find a distributor".
Dear Sirs,
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for providing such a great product as the Elasto-Gel Packs! I am a Licensed Massage
Therapist and have been using your product since 1984. I use them several times a day and my patients seem to like the fact
that they stay hot or cold during their whole session of 30 minutes to 1 hour. I am just now replacing my original packs
from 16 years ago. They have held up tremendously through the years. Again, thank you for your remarkable product. I look
forward to continuing to use your products in the future.

Dear Ms. Stout,
July 1, 2000 I fell breaking both ankles. Rehabilitation is going very slowly. I became aware in
late October, when I finally graduated to crutches, that I was allergic to the rubber hand holds
and arm protectors. I tried covering them with a four ply plastic wrap covered with a two ply
piece of T-shirt fabric. This helped immensely. Yet , enough of the odor escaped the ends that I
continued to have an allergic reaction.
I called the office of Dr. Robert Haas hoping the orthopedic personnel could help. Their suggestion
was to try durable equipment stores. After five or six calls, I spoke with Linda
at AC Home Medical 5405 N.E. Antioch, K.C. Mo. 64119). Finally I found someone
who knew of a product that would be hypoallergenic.
I had another two week wait before your Elasto-Gel products made it into my
home. How I thank you for the ease and comfort that is now mine when using the
crutches. More than that I am thankful to once more be off antihistamines and
nasal sprays. I have given your company information to Dr. Haas office
personnel. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance in sharing the
news of your existence. Again, thank you for producing a hypoallergenic product
that also brings great comfort.

To whom it may concern:
I was at a Drug Store and asked for Black arm pads and hand grips. I also was
interested in black tips for the bottom of crutches.
My husband has only one leg. He uses crutches. I special ordered a pair of your
Crutch-Mate Hand Grips and Arm Pads. He tried them on tonight and said they are
more comfortable than any in 30 years that he has tried.
Our hope is that they will hold up for more than 90 days. He repairs lawn mowers
and the black hides the oil. This is an answer to our prayers.....Thank You
Harriet Bruun
