ABOUT PATIENT SHIELD CONCEPTS, LLC.
DRIVEN BY A PASSION FOR PATIENT AND PRACTITIONER SAFETY
Patient Shield Concepts (PSC), LLC was founded by Lynn White, M.D. and Stanley Rosen, M.D. Dr. White is currently Chief Medical Officer for PSC and a practicing anesthesiologist and former pediatric emergency medicine physician. Dr. Rosen’s legacy includes co-founding PSC and decades of experience in internal medicine focusing on preventative medicine and critical care administration.
As physicians who have practiced medicine in critical care settings for many years, our co-founders witnessed countless lapses in patient safety due to inadequate protection from potential disease transmission. Specifically, they recognized there was no protocol or product available to reduce cross-contamination and droplet transmission by safely containing and protecting a patient’s suction tip.
Drs. White and Rosen knew that in an era of growing drug-resistance and increasingly virulent organisms, it was crucial to be vigilant and improve patient care. This is especially true in critical care settings where patients are most vulnerable and in surgical areas where patients are subject to the transmission of pathogens by contaminated objects or surfaces.
Drs. White and Rosen worked tirelessly to perfect the SuctionShield product to fill the need for a solution to this widespread issue. The SuctionShield team continues to connect with healthcare workers and facilities to educate on the importance of patient and practitioner safety. Our team strives to communicate and demonstrate SuctionShield’s ease of use and effectiveness in reducing HAIs.
