Specialty Solutions Built to Your Specifications

Today I’d like to share with you a product that was created expressly for my organization to solve a JCAHO requirement. Health Care Logistics® Item #MFG 39755 - PETG Sink Splash Guard allows medications to be prepared on a counter that is immediately adjacent to a sink. 

 

 

My health system had dozens of medication rooms that needed some type of partition next to the sink. We were able to collaborate with HCL to design a low-cost solution to our problem, which looks and performs great! We were able to dictate the dimensions and the need for it to be made of a single piece of plastic that was easy to clean and without areas where germs could easily hide. 

 

 

If HCL doesn’t have the product you need in their expansive catalog, they have the ability to design a prototype with input from the customer, then quickly and cost-effectively deliver a product in a timely manner. In the creation of this splash guard, we were presented with different plastic material options that allowed us to pick the one best suited to the cleaning solutions we were actively using for our cleaning processes. 

 

 

I find it so refreshing to not just have a company that will furnish needed products that we can rely on, but also to have a partner capable of innovating and designing a product from a concept.

 

 

Our pharmacy still gets requests for the source of our splash guards from clinical managers who think a splash guard makes good sense next to sinks that may not necessarily be in a medication room and are not be required to have one. During this last year, I even heard of instances where these were used as COVID partitions for personnel that had to communicate face-to-face with the public.
