So at Medicontra they sell medical items, and while I enjoy the selection so far, I think that there are a lot more things that could be sold there. Some ideas:
*walkers (basic folding, 2- or 3-wheel, rollator, hemi, bariatric, knee) *incontinence briefs (tape-up, pull-on) *knee cages, ankle braces, other orthopedics *bedpans (steel, plastic, etc) *shower chairs/benches *bath wipes (those cleaning wipes you use to bathe if you can't leave your bed) *hospital bed pads (you know, those absorbent mats they put under you in the hospital bed) *medical urinals (bottle, bag) *maybe some other wheelchair varieties, like electric ones?
Not sure what all of these would do function-wise, if anything, but I think the expanded selection would really mean something, especially to those of us who have to use these things in real life. Thanks!

support for this! i think the added selection would be nice to see represented. i'd also like to add:
-insulin pump -glucose meter -IVs/IV drip (there's only the one iv item i know of and it's super expensive) -more medications (maybe things like antidepressants/anti-anxiety?) -heating pad (there's an ice pack already) -TENS machine -pill cases -not really strictly 'medical', but since there's a hearing test machine, why not a book on sign language or a sign chart? -also not strictly medical but stim toys (chew jewelry, fidget cubes, tangles) -weighted items (blankets, vests, etc) -noise-cancelling headphones
scrubs would be awesome too!
I need medical everything! Especially scrubs... and patient bracelets!
Ooh, those other suggested things sound good! I would especially dig the headphones and patient bracelets. I'd also like to add hand sanitzer and medical eyepatches to the list.

yes to all of this! i'd also love to see some slicker wheelchairs, the designs we have already are great but don't look very practical for getting around on your own... i've seen some designs with lower backs to make handling the wheels easier. it'd be also great to get wheelchairs with pants on the bottom instead of a blanket, or skirts. the clothing could still cover all of the skin to prevent the skin colour bodymod problem. and electric wheelchairs, as already mentioned!
stim toys & weighted items would also mean the world to me
