U.S. PPE Suppliers Are Critical During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Today, hospitals, reopening businesses and individuals are again confronted with a PPE shortage in the United States. This is due to a dependence on imports. Not only are many foreign-made products inferior in quality due to a lack of traceability, but they are subject to supply chain complications and increased global demand.
The need for US suppliers of personal protective equipment has never been greater as states including California, Florida, Texas, and Arizona experience a growing number of COVID-19 cases. And not only hospitals are struggling to get the gear they require; businesses large and small may have trouble sourcing face coverings, especially if their services are outside of the hospital system.
Casco Bay Molding is dedicated to assisting small and large businesses, as well as wholesalers, get access to the USA made supplies they require. The Casco Shield, which is available for individual and large wholesale orders alike, offers the comfort, quick turnaround time, and factory-direct pricing that only US PPE suppliers like Casco can offer.
Medical-Grade Quality Materials
In addition to being a US PPE manufacturer, Casco Bay Molding is a medical device component injection molding facility. This means that all products manufactured in our factory in Maine are held to ISO 13485 certified standards and produced using medical-grade materials such as silicone rubber and polypropylene.
US Suppliers of Personal Protective Equipment Offer Traceability
As part of our ISO 13485 certification, we are pleased to offer material traceability. Normally, this emphasis on quality would come with a significant price tag. However, as we are both a factory and a US personal protective equipment supplier, we offer competitive pricing without diminishing quality.
PPE Meaning: What Is Personal Protective Equipment?
PPE stands for Personal Protective Equipment, which is a wide category of gear including masks, clothing, and hazmat suits designed to keep the wearer safe from injury or sickness. Though we know the term increasingly for its relevance to healthcare workers in the face of coronavirus, or COVID-19, the term predates the pandemic.
In fact, some sports, construction, and even day-to-day gear can qualify. This is because PPE requirements vary country-to-country and even state-to-state. The essence of this gear is that it’s designed to protect people at work from hazards and create a safe working environment.
Personal Protective Equipment List: 6 PPE Examples
Healthcare workers need access to PPE gear for preventing the spread of illnesses, especially those as contagious as coronavirus. Some common examples include:
Gowns to protect clothing and limit skin exposure.
Face shields to create a barrier between the eyes, nose and mouth and particles.
Face masks to safeguard the mouth and nose.
Gloves, which can be used when caring for patients or performing other tasks.
Goggles, which serve to protect eyes.
Respirators, which protect from airborne diseases.
Of course, not all forms of personal protective equipment are designed for the same tasks. Typically, it’s divided based on exposure level. For example, there are six levels of classification for face masks. Aside from the lowest level, meaning a physical barrier between the nose and mouth and airborne particles, higher levels of masks require the ability to protect against liquids and may even filter air particles.
The type of PPE appropriate for a task will depend on the level of exposure anticipated, the permeability of the equipment, and its durability. If you have specific questions about your health, please speak with your doctor. Please note that reopening guidelines vary industry-to-industry and state-to-state. See local laws and guidelines for more business reopening information.
