Title
PPE awaiting UV treatment
Description
As COVID-19 spread across the world, hospitals were faced with a shortage of the personal protective equipment (PPE) needed to keep health care providers safe when treating patients. In March 2020, in response to the shortage, John-Martin Lowe, PhD, director of research and development for the NBU, led a team of scientists in developing a UV system for decontaminating PPE for re-use. This process was shared globally, providing health care systems with an avenue for lengthening the life of their PPE.
