DrySee® Launches Waterproof Bandage with Wetness Indicator

DrySee®, a medical technology company dedicated to improving wound care, has introduced a patented waterproof bandage with liquid intrusion alert. The average bandage provides some protection, but it is still easy for dirt and water to reach a wound, according to the company. DrySee is an alternative to traditional cloth or plastic bandages when more reliable wound protection and water blockage is needed. DrySee’s waterproof bandages provide a secure, waterproof covering for low exudate wounds. If water or other liquids make their way into the bandage, the liquid-indicating gauze along the perimeter of the bandage will turn a dark blue color. Fluid from the wound site will cause the internal pad to also change color, alerting the user that a bandage change is necessary. DrySee’s color changing, liquid intrusion alert takes the guesswork out of replacing bandages because it is easy to see if the bandage is wet or dry. The bandages are waterproof, sterile, disposable, breathable, and non-latex, and one bandage can be used for up to three days. Learn more at www.drysee.com.

Milwaukee’s New Tower Light Features Three Independently Pivoting Light Heads

The new M18™ ROCKET™ Tower Light/Charger by Milwaukee is designed to provide a lighting solution that adapts, performs, and survives to the jobsite. This light tower sets up in seconds to a max height of seven feet and collapses to less than four feet for easy transportation and storage. The LED light head can be extended from four to seven feet to light overhead work or minimize shadows when casting the shine downward. The multidirectional light head allows users to orient the three independently pivoting light heads to cast light in several directions at once. With an integrated AC plug, the light can be powered with a standard extension cord and charge any M18™ REDLITHIUM™ pack. There is also a USB port to charge the device on site. Delivering 6,000 lumens, it fills up large areas with TRUEVIEW™ high-definition light. For optimized control over the output and run-time, the M18™ ROCKET™ LED Light has three output settings - the LEDs never need to be replaced and are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Introducing the M18 FUEL™ HAMMERVAC™ 1-1/4" Dedicated Dust Extractor

Milwaukee’s HAMMERVAC™ 1-1/4” Dedicated Dust Extractor features an inline design engineered to connect directly to and be powered by the MILWAUKEE® M18 FUEL™ 1-1/4” SDS Plus D-Handle Rotary Hammer w/ ONEKEY™. Utilizing the same replaceable certified HEPA filter as other HAMMERVACS™, which filters 99.97% of all particles greater than 0.3µm, means more compatibility on the jobsite. The built-in adjustable depth stop and ruler offer easy and precise adjustments. The new tool allows full OSHA Table One Compliance when drilling up to 1-1/4” in diameter and 8” in depth.

This extractor features an AUTOPULSE™ Filter Cleaning Mechanism that automatically cleans the filter after each use, ensuring that users are able to drill more effectively and for longer before needing to empty the dust box. The dust box comes equipped with a vacuum port that allows users to suction out the dust with a large vacuum or dust extractor instead of dumping the dust out into a trash receptacle, ensuring minimal exposure.
