According to the CDC the new 2009 H1N1 is causing the first flu pandemic in over 40 years, and prevention should be on top of every person's mind. All the reports and guidelines issued by the CDC, FDA and other government agencies continue to stress the importance of hand hygiene. Hand hygiene has always been one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of disease, and while the diseases may change, the importance of hand washing will not.

When traditional hand washing is not readily available alcohol based hand sanitizers, such as MediSoft, are an excellent choice for hand sanitizing. MediSoft leaves your hands clean and soft, while helping stop the spread of dangerous diseases by neutralizing germs and bacteria. Its 62% ethyl alcohol formulation offers broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against pathogenic microorganisms and is packaged in a aerosol can for easy dispensing.

What sets MediSoft apart from other gels, liquids and even other foams is that it does not leave your hands sticky and tacky. This is due to the special formulation of emollients and conditioners that will leave your hands silky and smooth. It is much preferred over other types of sanitizers that can be runny, messy and difficult to use.

• Does not leave your hands tacky or sticky like other foams, gels and liquids
• Cleans and kills bacteria, leaving hands smooth and soft
• Preferred over liquid and gel hand sanitizing products
• Non-Allergenic sanitary foam
• Removes dirt and bacteria without the need of water
• Provides convenience and portability

Be sure to give our new MediSoft a try. Even if you have used other hand sanitizers without success or they have left your hands sticky, greasy or tacky we are sure you will find that our MediSoft is a completely different type of product. It will leave your hands feeling clean, without leaving a unpleasant, sticky film behind.

If you're looking for a new porcelain build-up brush be sure to check out the new BK Ball Brush made with high quality natural bristles.

The BK Ball Brush is the latest addition to our already popular line of natural Kolinsky porcelain brushes. The Ball Brush is special because it incorporates spheres within the ferrule of the brush that allow it offer added features.

Ceramists will find that achieving a sharp tip with the BK Ball Brush is literally a "snap". With the BK Ball Brush there is no need for excessive force or to break your wrist whipping the brush. The weight of the spheres and the force of the spheres hitting the end of the brush will ensure that the bristles are very tightly packed, and that the tip of the brush is as sharp as possible. In addition the weight of spheres make the brush perfectly balanced and more comfortable to use.

The BK Ball Brush is a #8 size build-up brush, offering a wide body with excellent moisture retention. Some technicians call it a "big brush", and we have even heard it called a "rattle brush".

Whatever name you might use now, we are sure that after using it you will eventually come to call it your favorite brush.
