I saw some discussion of this box in another post but wanted to ask directly. Is anyone using this? Any feedback on it? Also, anyone aware of someone producing these in the US? It sounds like it can be cleaned with 70% alcohol or bleach in between patients.

We got our first one yesterday. It fell apart on first trial run with a non-cohort patient. Back to supplier for a redo. Thankfully we have some time for them to get it right.

You're building/plant services dept might be able to throw something like that together. Ours have produced a bunch of stuff like that in-house for our department from drawer dividers to boxes to splash sheilds.

Haha might want to wait and see if they ever deliver a useful product. But seriously I’d have to ask around. I’m sure it’s local though and I doubt set up for nation-wide distribution. But I’ll look into it.

Step 2...

....you glue the edges...you've got the idea....

Or just buy a fish tank and a hole saw.

I think my SNL reference was missed...

Step 2 is definitely not gluing the edges.
