From STARC Systems Press Release:
To help reduce the spread of COVID-19, ‘essential’ manufacturer of temporary containment wall systems is dramatically increasing production of instant isolation units to protect patients and healthcare workers
Brunswick, Maine – March 26, 2020 – STARC Systems, a manufacturer of temporary modular wall containment systems used for occupied renovations, announced today that it has been deemed ‘essential’ and will refocus all production on instant isolation solutions to dramatically increase the number of units available for healthcare facilities throughout the country, helping to protect more healthcare workers and patients and reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Typically, STARC Systems modular wall solutions are used in occupied healthcare renovations to eliminate dust, debris and pathogens from impacting patients and employees. Now, rather than keeping pathogens from escaping a construction site, these panels are used to eliminate the spread of COVID-19 by creating instant negative pressure isolation anterooms and airborne infection isolation rooms (AIIR).
“For years we have relied on STARC Systems solutions to provide a safe environment for healthcare workers and patients during healthcare facility renovations,” said Brian Hamilton, Director of Healthcare and Life Sciences, Consigli Construction. “Now, STARC has become critical in our response to provide hospitals with immediate patient isolation rooms to reduce the spread of coronavirus. These rooms allow overflowing healthcare systems or entirely repurposed facilities to separate patients who are sick from other patients and healthcare workers who are not.”
