First, thank you for the desire to help. We strongly encourage that you begin by reaching out to your local hospital or health system to see what their most immediate needs are and how you can best be of service.
Below, we provide a sampling of design specifications that have been used by hospitals and health systems around the country. While we cannot attest to the efficacy of these design specifications, they can be used as a starting point as you develop PPE in coordination with local hospitals and health systems.
