[tri-med] Re: granulation tissue

Elanor and Eric both have bard buttons.  We have never had a problem with 
the bard buttons, except they wear out in about a year--they start leaking, 
and one of the stoppers broke.  Maybe it is the mickey that is the 
problem...huh.


I'd like to be OCD, but I just don't have the time...
