EpiGuard AS is an innovative Norwegian Medical Technology Company established in 2015 by a group of doctors at the Oslo University Hospital together with co-founders Inven2, Eker Group AS, and Hansen Protection AS.
EpiGuard has evolved into a highly-skilled knowledge-based company. They develop and manufacture high-end medical equipment for the safe transport of contagious patients. The products are distributed globally through strategic partners.
The EpiShuttle is an award-winning design, developed with direct input and guidance from clinical experts, medics, and patients.
The EpiShuttle is EN 1789 compliant and can be safely used in ambulances, helicopters, and airplanes.
The EpiShuttle is CE-marked as a Class 1 Medical Device.
Vehicles that are used for the transport of highly infectious patients in the EpiShuttle do not have to be disinfected after patient transport.
A soft mattress and adjustable backrest and leg support give optimal patient comfort during transports of up to 24 hours.
When transporting a highly infectious patient inside the EpiShuttle, medical personnel do not need to wear full PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).
The EpiShuttle can be configured to either protect the surroundings from the patient or to protect the patient from the surroundings.
The EpiShuttle is reusable and can be safely disinfected and re-assembled in less than two hours. This significantly reduces the cost per transport compared to single-use transport isolators.
Glove ports provide medical personnel access to the patient’s entire body. Food, medicine, and equipment can be safely sluiced into the EpiShuttle.
