Modular PPE System Prototype – Call for Partners

Healthcare teams need PPE systems that adapt to real-world needs—not rigid designs that never fit the environment. After 23 years in infection control and healthcare leadership, I’ve seen the same challenges repeated across LTC, acute care, and community settings.To solve this, I’m building a modular, configurable PPE storage system—a “LEGO-style” approach that allows gloves, masks, gowns, wipes, face shields, and other components to be rearranged, removed, added, or replaced in seconds.The next step is developing a full CAD-engineered, 3D-printed prototype.To make this possible, I’m seeking:1️⃣ Engineering or Capstone Teams– Schools of engineering, design, CAD, product development– Looking for a meaningful, real-world innovation project2️⃣ Sponsors & Industry Partners- GOJO, Diversey/Solenis, Virox, Medline, Clorox Healthcare, Sani Marc, Cardinal Health, 3M, Ecolab, and others– Funding or material support for prototype development3️⃣ Healthcare Pilot Sites- Extendicare, Shannex, Revera, Northwood, Bayshore, Nova Scotia Health, Horizon, Acute Care & LTC partners– For real-world testing and workflow validationIf your organization is interested in collaborating, sponsoring, or piloting this modular PPE system, I’d be happy to connect.📩 Contact:Wayne Tucker, MSc, EMBA, CIC, LTC-CIPFounder – Infection Control Exchange [email protected]’s build infection-control tools that actually work for healthcare teams.
