Personal protective equipment used in the medical field is strictly regulated to ensure the safety of medical personnel. Numerous regulatory agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, have approved PVC for use in PPE and other medical equipment. In fact, PVC is absolutely critical to the health care industry, now more than ever. PVC is being used in face shields, containment units, temporary structures, and hundreds of other applications to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to protect critical medical personnel. PVC is an effective barrier between the sick and those caring for them, which is why it is used to minimize the spread of even the most infectious diseases, like ebola and now COVID-19. Health Care Without Harm’s baseless, agenda-driven  scaremongering should be dismissed out of hand. We are proud of the PVC industry’s support for our nation’s health care providers, and grateful for an industry that has shifted production to help supply safe and effective medical devices during this pandemic.
