My metal wheel, which I also love, was a freebie from Ortho. Haven't seen many since.

ob-gyn-l list members,
This question came from Mindy an OB patient so it was rejected for
the lists being from non-medical professional.
I thought perhaps it would be of interest to you anyway so am
forwarding it to you in case anybody would like to help Mindy get a
metal OB Wheel for her physician. It is a cool idea.
Thanks
Bruce
