Re: Switch Adapted Suction Machine?

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.
