Cleanroom environments require purpose-built equipment and storage
Complying with new regulations in pharmacy cleanrooms - mainly USP 797 and USP 800 - can be a daunting task when considering a pharmacy renovation or new design. How do we create a space that is safe for patients and staff, clinically efficient, and state of the art - all while staying within budget? Shield can help.

THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS HEALTH SYSTEM
The University of Kansas Health System worked with Pulse Design Group, Kelly Construction and Shield Casework to renovate cleanrooms within four of the health system’s cancer sites. The University of Kansas achieved their compliance goals of making the rooms safer for patients and staff while reducing overall cost. Moreover, health systems now have an alternative to traditional stainless steel pass-through cabinets made from a material that’s already a design standard countertop material in health care facilities across the nation – solid surface.
"Pass-throughs are a critical part of the hospital. We’re happy to now have ones at TUKHS that we know will keep our patients as safe as possible, while providing the best operational system for our team.”
- Nick Burke, Capital Project Manager, TUKHS

Durability
Acrylic solid surface is homogenous, easy to maintain, and repairable. It lasts so long you may never need to replace it.
Cleanability
Fluid-resistant and non-porous, acrylic solid surface stands up to strong hospital-grade cleaners and disinfectants, including bleach.
Miocrobial-Resistant
Acrylic solid surface doesn't hold moisture so it doesn't support microbial growth, which can help prevent infections of staff, patients, and visitors.
Non-porous
Acrylic solid surface is primarily a combination of aluminum trihydrate (ATH) - a natural mineral - and acrylic resin. Once cured, this inert, GREENGUARD certified material is also class-A fire rated.
Seamless
Shield has patented methods of building with solid surface unlike any other manufacturer. Chemical welds create virtually seamless joints and connections in acrylic solid surface.
lifetime protection
Some things shouldn't be disposable, which is why we stand by our products with an unmatched lifetime warranty. We'll fix or replace any manufacturer's defects, for life.
