MEDshields...award-winning
MEDshields is honored to be among the winners in the I.D. 2007 Annual Design Review. Michael Bleau, MEDshields inventor and company founder says, “Having MEDshields recognized by I.D. alongside household names, like Nike, Kodak, BMW, Apple and
Sony is awesome. This is really exciting for us.”
Every year, I.D.’s Annual Design Review grows bigger and more competitive, drawing in over 2,000 separate entries from every part of the world and attracting jurors from the highest ranks of the design profession. Julie Lasky, I.D.’s Editor-in-Chief stated, “I didn’t think the overall quality could get any higher, but it did. Only 150 pieces were selected for publication in I.D.’s July/August 2007 issue.”
MEDshields was awarded the ‘Design Distinction’ for their class of medical product.

The 2003 report on Uniform Blood and Body Fluid Exposure reported that 86.2% of exposures to blood or body fluid touched unprotected skin. 75% of these exposures involved the face and head. 65% of these exposures were the eyes. And a staggering 90.5% of the time the exposure involved only 5cc of blood or body fluid contaminants.
Wearing MEDshields can reduce exposures and save lives—maybe yours.
