Fluke Begins Producing Plastic Industrial Face Shields and Shares Design Specs

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 06 May 2020
At a time when companies around the world are experiencing shortages of protective gear due to COVID-19, Fluke Corporation (Everett, WA, USA) has developed a prototype for much-needed industrial face shields that could be used by non-medical personnel in local hospitals and medical centers.

To develop the industrial face shields, Fluke’s Plastics team worked with users on the design, which is intended for non-medical use. More...
The industrial face shields will be used by non-medical staff at the hospital and surrounding facilities. The team began with a daily production goal of 1,000 shields and, eventually with practice, ramping up to 10,000 per week, over and above its regular daily work.

Fluke is also providing its industrial face shield specifications, design files, and notices free of charge to anyone who has the means to produce these industrial face shields for their community.

“It’s nice to see that we are really driving toward improving and helping out the communities in which we live in a really big way,” said Michael Seaholm, Product Manager at Fluke. “There are really significant gaps in what hospitals have versus what they need, and any way we can help support that is just awesome.”
