PPE Storage Purpose-Built for Healthcare

We’ve got PPE storage that doesn’t suck. The PPE Cabinet takes away the annoyance of storing protective equipment and makes finding what you need a seamless process. We used our classic engineering standards to create a design with acrylic solid surface that has a different storage component for every piece of equipment.

No need to worry about stuffing cabinets or overwhelming clutter, with Shield you can know that durability is key and ease of use is a top priority.

What is the Issue With PPE Storage?

Storage for personal protective equipment is not only important for flow of operations in a hospital, but also for the health and safety of patients and workers. PPE that is not stored in an organized manner can end up getting mixed in with dirty items and is more likely to become contaminated by microbial life and bacteria.

As told by Science Direct, “Infection Prevention Control (IPC) inconsistencies that may jeopardize HWs (health workers) and patient safety, such as inadequacies of facility infrastructure like the lack of adequate storage space were reported.”

What is The PPE Cabinet?

The PPE cabinet is a minimalistic design that takes all the worries out of storing and using personal protective equipment. Being an in-wall, one-stop model you can know that storage will be maximized without being overwhelming and that you will never have to search for what you need. We know you don’t want to have to take different steps just to get a mask and sanitize your hands, so we put them all together.

Created with acrylic solid surface, the cabinet includes even more features that make the usability just that much easier for anyone involved.

SIGNATURE STYLE

  • Microbial resistant – Nonporous, acrylic solid surface construction without substrates
  • Durable – Impact and scratch-resistant
  • Cleanable – Tests to no effect against common hospital cleaners and disinfectants
  • Usable – Low maintenance and repairable
  • Reliable – Guaranteed for life against manufacturer defects*

Within our designs we like to make sure that we are meshing aesthetics with functionality and The PPE cabinet is the perfect blend of looks with user ease. Not only is the product in-wall, but with cutouts there is no need to open doors and have anything get in the way. Simply pull what you need and forget about the rest.

After COVID-19, best practices for storing PPE have changed. It is now expected to be outside of most patient rooms and needs to be accessed quickly while being completely clean and safe to use. Often there isn’t time to search for one specific item in an emergency situation. With The PPE Cabinet, convenience and safety are top priorities.

“There’s been a change in the thought process,” reported EYP, “We’re hearing now from our hospital clients that they want PPE available outside of every patient room, so that personnel can grab a mask, glove and gown without running around looking for it… As much as you can, you want to make it seamless for the staff to get what they need.”
