Infection Control: Disposables to the Rescue
April 01, 2010 -- Excerpt from DOTmed:
Timely Medical Innovations (TMI) is another manufacturer that recently introduced a new product designed to prevent hospital infections. TMI produces disposable personal protection equipment (PPE) designed to meet the regulation standards for infection control and ensure compliance. The company experienced a surge in sales in 2009, due to the prevalence of H1N1, says Michael Grad, president and CEO of TMI. Last year, the manufacturer introduced FlipEase, a pre-assembled, disposable eye protection product.
"There is an outcry among some end users, particularly in surgery, that there isn't much space to store the products, and they don't want to take a lot of time to assemble them," says Grad. "So we set out to create something that was much more convenient."
The FlipEase has a unique design that allows it to be stored flat. The user just flips the lens into place when it is needed. FlipEase fits comfortably over surgical masks and eyeglasses. TMI is focused on making it easy for health care professionals to comply with infection regulations by offering products that are low-cost, convenient and comfortable, says Grad.
