Make Your Own Hand Sanitizer
Medi-Dose/EPS has added gallon and half-
gallon solution bottles to its line of liquid
packaging containers. The new additions are
perfect for making large quantities of hand
sanitizer during the COVID-19 pandemic and
mixing large volumes of cleaning solutions or
other liquids. The bottles are made from
durable, high-density polyethylene and avail-
able in natural and white colors. Half-gallon
bottles are packaged in cases of eight and
gallon bottles come four to a case.

Easier, faster and
safer electrosurgery
The BiPad is a low-profile and ergonomic
hand-activated switch for controlling
bipolar forceps. The device, which is
compatible with most two-pronged for-
ceps and electrocautery generators,
shortens the time needed to activate
coagulation, thereby reducing blood loss.
Handheld control of bipolar forceps also
eliminates traditional foot pedal activa-
tion and the need to repeatedly reposition
the foot pedal under the table — a time-
consuming and often frustrating aspect
of electrosurgery procedures.
