Prodaptive has forged years of field practice into a long needed safety device. By examining hazardous areas and practices in many facets of healthcare we identified some of the weakest links in infection transmission management. From these we developed a pro-active, innovative ‘first strike’ device and the procedures to intervene. The ‘cost of doing business’ need not, and should not, include preventable Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI’s). To this end we introduced the STAL Shield & Stand – an award winning Engineered Safety Control that provides un-rivaled performance and cost effectiveness with a positive change to the struggle against the global threat of anti-microbial resistant pathogenisis. For over 100 years the contamination management we have, or rather have not, practiced has led to a world-wide crisis. No one was ever taught that it was acceptable to continue using a Yankauer that has rested on the floor but it happens hundreds of time each day in pre-hospital and ER care. I & D’s that spurt across the room, Foley catheter irrigations that contaminate a hundred square feet of a treatment room, wound irrigations that splash the walls, ceilings, staff, and more. All these events the STAL Shield blocks at source with no interference to the procedures. The STAL Shield is all about hazard prevention, your protection and the reduction of all costs downstream of Aerosol Generating Procedures monetary and health related.
