Operating Room Solutions
Cleanroom environments require purpose-built equipment and storage
Complying with new regulations in operating cleanrooms can be a daunting task when considering an operating suite renovation or new design. How do we create a space that is safe for patients and staff, clinically efficient, and state of the art - all while staying within budget? Shield can help.
INTERLOCKING PASS-THROUGH CABINETS
Designed for sterile and non-sterile cleanrooms, Shield interlocking pass-through cabinets give pharmacists a less expensive and more durable alternative to similar stainless steel pass through cabinets. Key features include:
- Shield’s signature acrylic solid surface construction with patented embedded stainless-to-stainless steel connections ensures lasting durability and cleanability
- Shatterproof Lexan doors enclosed with gasket seal to prevent leakage and cross contamination
- Automated magnetic interlocking mechanism maintains room pressure by preventing both doors from being opened simultaneously
- Workflow indicator light helps save clinicians time and steps by displaying open or close status
- Protected by Shield's industry-leading limited lifetime warranty
DOCUMENTATION STATIONS
From non-standard setups to poor lines of sight, many operating rooms are not optimized for efficiency. Also, traditional equipment materials like painted metal and stainless steel are rusting, either in plain sight or hiding in areas you can't easily see. Shield Casework's solid surface documentation stations are flexible workstations designed to overcome complex challenges of today's operating rooms. Key features include:
- Shield's signature acrylic solid surface construction is bleach cleanable, repairable, and won't rust
- Dual-level rotating work surfaces are both fixed and flexible to help improve sight lines and communication during cases
- Flexible sizes and options help to fit your particular space or design (custom design available)
- Protected by Shield's industry-leading limited lifetime warranty
SPECIALTY MEDICAL STORAGE CABINETS
Maximizing storage and functionality is paramount. Stainless steel is expensive and prone to scratches, dents, and rust. Shield's specialty medical storage cabinets provide highly-customizable and functional storage, all out of durable solid surface. Key features include:
- Shield’s signature acrylic solid surface construction with patented embedded stainless-to-stainless steel connections ensures lasting durability and cleanability
- Shatterproof Lexan doors enclosed with gasket seal to prevent leakage and cross contamination
- Includes high-density flexible storage system to accommodate a variety of layouts and storage requirements
- Protected by Shield's industry-leading limited lifetime warranty

LAWRENCE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
Completing the new West Campus in 2020, Lawrence Memorial Hospital (LMH Health) continues to expand on their mission of providing exceptional patient care for all. Shield, in partnership with local architecture and design firm Pulse Design Group, developed a variety of custom, solid surface solutions for LMH Health’s new facility. Product types ranging from interlocking pass-through cabinets to waterproof hydrotherapy casework were designed with clinical efficiency, patient safety and lifetime value in-mind.
"People have talked about OR pass-throughs for years, but they haven’t been able to maintain the pressurization and they haven’t had cabinets of a material that helps mitigate risk. The specific workflow and flow of the supplies is the revolutionary component... We would not be able to execute the design effectively without Shield’s solid surface solution."
- Basil Sherman, Pulse Design Group
Durability
Acrylic solid surface is homogenous, easy to maintain, and repairable. It lasts so long you may never need to replace it.
Cleanability
Fluid-resistant and non-porous, acrylic solid surface stands up to strong hospital-grade cleaners and disinfectants, including bleach.
Miocrobial-Resistant
Acrylic solid surface doesn't hold moisture so it doesn't support microbial growth, which can help prevent infections of staff, patients, and visitors.
Non-porous
Acrylic solid surface is primarily a combination of aluminum trihydrate (ATH) - a natural mineral - and acrylic resin. Once cured, this inert, GREENGUARD certified material is also class-A fire rated.
Seamless
Shield has patented methods of building with solid surface unlike any other manufacturer. Chemical welds create virtually seamless joints and connections in acrylic solid surface.
lifetime protection
Some things shouldn't be disposable, which is why we stand by our products with an unmatched lifetime warranty. We'll fix or replace any manufacturer's defects, for life.
