--><\/p>\n<p>As a healthcare packaging and medical device company, Sanner felt compelled to find a way to help during the early days of the pandemic.\u00a0 This past spring, Sanner quickly designed, developed, and began manufacturing a protective face shield to be used in healthcare settings.\u00a0 Given the location of Sanner America&#8217;s primary hub in Durham, the state of North Carolina has been one of the largest purchasers of these face shields, and Governor Cooper wanted to learn more about the production process.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are humbled that Governor Cooper is interested in the work of [Sanner America] and other local companies who are producing PPE in the wake of COVID-19,\u201d shared Ted Mosler, Chief Executive Officer of Sanner America.\u00a0 \u201cWhen the pandemic hit, we felt it was our moral and civic duty to help in some way.\u00a0 We expedited the design and manufacturing of the face shield.\u00a0 We\u2019re grateful to Governor Cooper and the Departments of Emergency Management and Health and Human Services for the opportunity to help protect the front line workers of North Carolina who risk so much each day to battle this virus.\u00a0 Protecting our frontline workers is paramount, and we continue developing products to protect these workers, and now, to improve the rapid detection of the virus because our work force wants to use their skills and capabilities to make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Sanner recently worked on the design and development of two other COVID-related products, a Self-Contained Negative Pressure Environment (SCONE\u2122) for <a

href=\"https:\/\/yukonmedical.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Yukon Medical<\/a>, a specimen collection swab that has the potential to improve rapid detection of COVID-19.\u00a0 Both are now being produced at Sanner\u2019s Pittsboro facility.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n
