Hi,
I was thinking about using the Power Link too.  Does anyone know of a cheaper version.  We only need the single switch latching setting.  We don't need timed.
Margaret Cotts taught me a great trick if someone can use a foot switch.  You just plug the item to be powered into a Christmas tree lights on/ off foot pedal.  They cost under $5.  Unfortunately this patient can't move his lower extremities.

I was thinking about LocLine to hold the suction machine yankauer.

Amanda- this patient does have and SGD so I think your idea is good.
