Your Help Can Make a Difference Now
The COVID19 pandemic has resulted in a massive shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) that are desperately needed by our frontline healthcare staff globally. Besides leveraging our technical and manufacturing abilities to produce PPEs, we are also making active efforts to collect PPE donations from donors, industry partners, such as large dental support organizations, non-profit organizations, laboratories, manufacturers, and institutions. Every glove, gown, goggle matters, each piece of PPE counts, and one can be the difference between life and death for our health care colleagues in local hospitals, clinics, and elderly homes. Please note that some hospitals, including UCLA, has specific requirement for certain PPEs.
We are accepting donations of new, unused supplies of the following:
• Masks (N95, surgical, procedure, and non-medical community)
• Disposable gloves
• Disinfecting wipes such as Clorox wipes
• Hand sanitizer
• Face shields
• Goggles and eye shields
• Isolation or surgical gowns
• Caps and head covers
• CAPR/PAPR machines and disposables
• Raw materials for making PPEs (Filters, Clear PETG glass, elastic straps)
