Face Shield Initiative STL: Based out of MADE, Face Shield Initiative has been able to supply 70+ hospitals, nursing homes, and fire houses with over 7,800+ donated face shields. These shields protect faces and masks in crowded and contaminated spaces. We’ve been utilizing MADE‘s laser cutters and 3D printers to fabricate, and we’ve been able to assemble up to 400 a day. You can find out more about our initiative at flattenthecurvestl.com.

Laser-cut intubation chambers: intubating patients is a dangerous task, as it can push aerosolized matter into the face of our beloved doctors and nurses. Together with Tim McNabb of Gateway Escape Rooms, we have designed and fabricated some modular ‘chambers’ to keep COVID patients undergoing intubation from contaminating their care providers.

UV Sterilization Chamber: Since our doctors and nurses have to re-use their N95 masks because of a national shortage, it is imperative that these masks can be sterilized easily to go back on their faces. Tim Varner, MADE ‘s fabrication expert, built a UV sterilization chamber for a unit at Washington University last week.
