This is my first pressure sore in a critical area. I cleaned it with soap and water and am trying the sugar technique to heal it. I ordered the roho healpad setup from express med for 84.95 as Bob Vogel suggested. Im going to learn all I can about pressure sores and do all I can myself..........as a last resort I will go to the doctor Ron Pracht c7 quad in st. louis 15 yrs post ________________________________ From: Bob Vogel <[email protected]> To: 'quad-list' <[email protected]>; Joan Anglin <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2013 3:17 PM Subject: RE: [QUAD-L] bottom of heal pressure sore--ROHO product Hi All, FYI, Ronald Pracht was looking into ROHO heel pads.
