Wanted Items

Plea from our Nursing Team
The nurses at Tiggywinkles are always happy to make friends with our counterparts in human medicine, especially if they are happy to help wildlife by collecting out of date or damaged hospital consumables, which cannot be used in human hospitals but we can use to help our patients.

However, over the years the friends we have made have moved on or left the profession, leaving us with a large gap to fill.
The items we mostly use are:   Absorbable sutures, particularly Vicryl sizes 2/0 and 3/0
Also, cotton wool, swabs, disposable gloves and drapes.

We would be happy to receive one packet of sutures or a car full of supplies and all items will greatly contribute to the rehabilitation of our wild patients.

If you or someone you know can help us in any way, however large or small, with this plea, we would be very happy to hear from you.

Thank You
