Thanks, Ann >Conlon-Smith, IBCLC Humbled at Last i went to the local medical supply shop and talked the manager. they carried the 5 FR, but only in 6 inch. he got out his catalog and ordered the 36" for me immediately. i imagine anywhere that could order pharmaceutical supplies would have access, it is just a matter of someone being willing to order them. the company i used is hi-school pharmacy, but it was hi-school pharmacy medical supply rather than just the regular pharmacy. they carry more durable medical equipment and supplies, in addition to regular pharmaceuticals. are they around where you are?
