Barrier Technologies
Through our steadfast commitment to product innovation, we have developed MagnaGuard™ a revolutionary magnetic closure system that eliminates the need for Velcro.

There is a common practice among healthcare workers to share x-ray aprons with one another. This leads to cross contamination and the spread of harmful bacteria. Our bacteriological testing has confirmed the presence of MRSA and other dangerous bacteria on the Velcro closure portion of the Apron & Thyroid Collar. This bacteria is a cause of Hospital Acquired Infection which results in over 75,000 deaths and $45 Billion in annual hospital costs. MagnaGuard™ can be properly disinfected eliminating these dangerous forms of bacteria, resulting in an Apron that is cleaner and safer for everyone.

Asset Services

With the focus on performing preventive maintenance on 100% of an organization's equipment, knowing what equipment an organization has on-hand is critical. Asset Services is a leading provider of equipment inventories for healthcare organizations nationwide; performing on-site physical inventories of fixed assets and equipment. There are four primary reasons for an organization to perform a clinical equipment/biomedical equipment physical inventory: Accreditation, implementing a new CMMS application, outsourcing of clinical engineering functions, and inaccurate inventory data.
