If you need a free travel PAP-Tag...

...download this PDF and print with a color printer (print 100%, no scaling). Cut out and fold as shown; take it to a Staples, OfficeMax, Office Depot, Kinko's, etc. and have laminated as a luggage tag (typically about a Dollar or two).

Jim -- I stopped by my dme office today and showed them my copy of the tag. They liked it and said it would be a nice thing to give to their clients. When I returned home I emailed them the web site. So your nice deed has legs -- others will benefit. Thanks again.

Eureka,

You are quite welcome. The only thing I ask is that they understand that "give" doesn't involve any transfer of funds from their clients to them for the tags.

I currently have a stash of Nasal Aire II cannulas in Small or Extra Small. Please PM me if you would like them. I'm interested in bartering for something strange and wonderful that I don't currently own. Or a Large size NAII cannula. :)

I have modified the two files to substitue vector graphics for the rasters in the earlier version. This results in cleaner graphics and somewhat smaller files. The links in the quote, above, go to the new versions.
Babette, in an earlier post, has offered to modify the PDFs to allow the text box to be editable. I look forward to that improvement.
