Radiation Shield Technologies: Offers School Reopening COVID Solutions
Miami-September 2020 -Radiation Shield Technologies (RST) is keenly aware of the challenges faced by school personnel, staff, and students as part of their opening strategy. As a result, RST is providing a suite of newer products that can be used to mitigate the slow of the virus spread and keep students and staff safe on their campuses.
As schools and universities open around our country this Fall amongst the COVID 19 Pandemic, the challenge for them is to do so in a way that maximizes personal safety. These facilities have developed and continually refine their Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s) for minimizing the spread of the highly contagious COVID 19 viruses on their campuses.
One such MAJOR technological breakthrough used by Universities and Schools to assist in the fight to limit the spread of this virus during facility sanitizing and decontamination activities is the deployment of the Reusable Coronavirus, Demron C Suit. Developed and manufactured by Radiation Shield Technologies (RST) based in Miami, FL and distributed in this market by RT Technologies Inc. (Atlanta, GA), the Demron C Suit is manufactured utilizing the patented DEMRON™ material. The material provides an un-penetrable barrier against all blood borne pathogens (such as COVID 19) while minimizing heat stress effects to the wearer. The suit was developed to exceed ATSM F1670/F1671 standards for blood and viral penetration as per recent CDC guidelines. The Demron C Suit is thermo conductive and utilizes passive cooling technology, which translates to maximum wearing times and comfort for the wearer. The suit can be re-worn safely hundreds of times ---only requiring external wipe downs with approved sanitizing disinfectant solution/spray.
Recently, the Demron C Suit has been used by personnel in the Facilities Maintenance Department of a large, major university in the Southern United States in efforts to combat COVID 19 during the university’s Fall re-opening. In this case, the suit is worn by university personnel tasked with sanitizing work areas/classrooms/dormitories, etc. from COVID 19 daily. User feedback from this use case included the following comments:
” ….In my Facilities Management Department (FMD), this suit has turned out to be a critical tool in the fight to maintain a disease-free work environment here at the university; The C Suit addresses all of my concerns regarding my PPE as it effectively seals my body from the dangerous external environment that I am in, while maintaining heat management ---all with a ‘military grade toughness.’”
For more than 20 years, RST has pioneered high-performance, multi-hazard fabrics utilizing Demron
for military, firefighters, law enforcement, and medical personnel. “We are proud to help contribute to the overall safety of University and School Facilities Maintenance professionals fighting the spread of COVID 19” said RST CEO Ronald DeMeo, M.D., the inventor of the technology.
