Rapid Innovation to Protect Front-Line Workers Fast

As the personal protection equipment (PPE) shortage became dire, Gore heard from numerous providers and physicians seeking help. We rapidly engineered reusable respirator covers to supplement clinicians’ primary face masks, moving from concept to prototype in under a week. These reusable covers are made from a proprietary Gore high-flow filtration laminate that provides greater than 99% aerosolized virus particle protection. 

The PPE Protectors are just one example of our quick responses to adapt our materials to urgent needs.

Remote Case Planning and Telepresence in the Operating Room

As part of our global pandemic response, our Medical Products Division Field Associates continue to provide clinical case support to physicians performing life-saving surgeries in more than 62 countries. 

We have adapted to serve physicians while protecting patients and adhering to local pandemic regulations in accordance with data privacy and security measures. For example, in the Netherlands, our Field Sales Associates supported two physicians in a complex surgery by offering live remote case support via Bluetooth headphones while videoconferencing to view and respond to real-time x-ray images. 

Your local Gore Associate is the best point person for understanding how this technical case planning and support may be affected by your own community’s evolving COVID-19 safety, travel and access protocols.
