    Hello to all:
    I am a clinical instructor and registered nurse in Alberta, and also a member of IPAC Canada, where we are presently working on recommendations for foot care drills in Canada. Many have used to Dremel drill in the past, but because they are not indicated for "human use", we are not continuing to recommend their use in Canada. Concerns involve the human use question, as well as dust extraction and occupational health and environmental cleaning concerns. Can anyone provide feedback/opinion on this concern?
    Much appreciated, Andrea Skeoch

    Thank you for your response; I presently use an Orthodox Micro air and am unfamiliar with this brand; looks very sleek in design, easy to change the filter, and very easy to clean...thanks again for your response, Andrea

  9. Hi there. Just started looking for a replacement drill. This may sound a bit shallow but here goes. I have looked at the drills on the UK sites such as the Ruck Podolog 1. I have to say I like the modern appearance. My only concern is it doesn't appear to be CSA certified. Is this an absolute if they are certified in the UK or EU??

    I wonder if Dremmels statement "not for human use" is a problem the drills have with nail dust, rather than a problem humans have with the drills. I wonder if they have had a few too many returns from podiatrists.
