Cerno recently shifted its manufacturing capabilities to produce face shields for local hospital systems struggling to acquire the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as they assist patients battling COVID-19.

Co-founders Daniel Wacholder and Nick Sheridan designed a product using open-source forums online and by leveraging the capabilities of the Cerno team and facility. Ingenuity came into play with the simplicity of the design but also in creative sourcing of the materials. Professional Plastics, the plastic supplier, gave Cerno a generous discount when they found out how they were planning on using the materials. Thanks to a generous donation, Cerno was able to secure material to make approximately10,000face shields.

Cerno designed and presented the initial prototypes to practicing physicians at a local hospital who validated that the design would work. Cerno made a slight modification to extend the length of the shield to add extra protection, and a select group of Cerno employees volunteered their time and made the first 900 face shields.To date, Cerno has produced more than 3,000 face shields that have been donated to hospitals in the MemorialCare Health System (Orange County, CA and Long Beach, CA) and Mammoth Hospital (Mammoth Lakes, CA).
“Daniel spearheaded this effort, but without the help of so many people jumping in to assist, it would not have been possible. We realize that our contribution to this global crisis is small, but we hope that it inspires many more small manufacturers around the county to help where they can, and the collective effort makes a real impact,” said Bret Englander, Co-Founder of Cerno.
