Two Phoenix-area doctors believe a simple, clear plastic box could be a key to keeping health care workers safer when they are treating coronavirus patients.
Emergency room Drs. Brandon Lawrence and Benjamin Reeser have been shipping the protective barriers to hospitals all over the country.
“We’ve been doing it all on donations … we’re up to almost 450 units that we’ve shipped,” Lawrence told KTAR News 92.3’s The Mike Broomhead Show on Tuesday.
The reusable, open-ended acrylic box fits over a patient’s head, Lawrence said, which keep fluids from reaching hospital workers in the face during certain procedures.
