Patient Shield Concepts LLC

Patient Shield Concepts LLC manufactures SuctionShield, a disposable, single-patient suction holster designed to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in critical care settings. SuctionShield holds Yankauer suction tips and other oral suction implements securely on hospital bed rails, operating tables, and gurneys, allowing tips to air-dry and preventing cross-contamination and droplet transmission. FDA-approved for 24-hour use, the product features a patented adjustable strap, bright orange visibility, and a raised grid base that prevents suction tips from resting in accumulated secretions. Suitable for use in ORs, ICUs, EDs, PACUs, LTACs, skilled nursing facilities, and rehabilitation settings. The device addresses the clinical and economic impact of HAIs—which affect 1 in 31 hospitalized patients at costs exceeding $25,000–$80,000 per infection—offering a cost-effective solution at only a few dollars per use. Manufactured from FDA-approved materials and fully recyclable.
