Artisan Group Members Build Covid-19 Protection Boxes
AUSTIN, Texas – Members of the Artisan Group fabricator network are pitching in on the Covid-19 battlefront with see-through boxes to protect doctors, nurses and other medical personnel.
The boxes guard against the spread of the coronavirus by shielding ER medical professionals when they intubate a patient.
Members are providing these shields to hospitals at no cost. The first dozen intubation shields have been provided to hospitals and emergency rooms, and emergency doctors expect use of these boxes to become a standard practice going forward for any intubation.
Artisan Group President, Jon Lancto commented, “We’re so proud of our members’ willingness to jump in and help with this cause,” said Jon Lancto, Artisan Group president. “They are putting their manufacturing skills to work and we are grateful to be part of such a wonderful group of professionals.”
Orders will be coordinated and provided by the Artisan Group member closest to the facility needing the shields. The intubation shields can be shipped flat in a box and are easily assembled onsite.

There is a GoFundMe page set up at https://www.gofundme.com/f/intubox for donations to support the manufacturing and distribution of the boxes. To date, $9,500 has been raised to offset production costs.
