We took a phone call last week from someone hoping to purchase a magnetic needle retriever featured in a recent Clinical Waste Discussion Forum post.

Regrettably, at that time we could not help. But for those seeking something from that magnetic retriever product range we suggest the following US web site http://www.amiwelisten.com/.  This is the manufacturer/supplier.  They may supply directly to the UK, or identify a UK agent.

Alternately, try http://www.alimed.com/magnetic-needle-retriever.html , http://www.ip.mountsinai.org/magnetic-needle-retriever/, http://www.opentip.com/Health-Personal-Care/Alimed-Magnetic-Needle-Retriever-p-1579749.html or http://cdn.opentip.com/Health-Personal-Care/Alimed-Magnetic-Needle-Finder-p-1101529.html?ats=product_related.

Though the http://www.amiwelisten.com/web site is currently down for upgrade (?) it was working yesterday and will hopefully be back online soon.

We hope this helps.
