PITTSBURGH — A Pennsylvania company has created a PPE shield that uses an electrical charge to protect people against COVID-19.
Ramshield, Inc., an Exton-based and woman-owned healthcare product provider, created the AVF Shield and Cartridge System Kit, which is a replaceable cartridge shield that uses patented technology to create an electrical charge to protect users from COVID-19.
“Pennsylvania’s businesses like Ramshield are using their skills, knowledge, and experience to benefit us all, and without their efforts, our road to recovery would be much longer and more difficult,” said Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Davin. “We thank them for their work and remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting businesses and communities across the commonwealth through resources like the B2B Interchange Directory and other critical PPE portals.”
The Wolf administration also said, “another component of the AVF cartridge—a sponge that holds moisture allowing for the electroceutical technology to stay activated for 10-12 hours at a time—is sourced directly from Pennsylvania.”
The shields are intended to be used for hours and easily washed with soap and water or in dishwashers.
The manufacturer has obtained FDA Emergency Use Authorization for this product.
