The Carnivore Meat Company in Green Bay, Wis., is offering the use of an ultraviolet sterilization machine to help local hospitals sterilize face masks, according to an article on the FOX 11 website.
The UV-light is normally used to sterilize its own equipment for food safety, but the machine can be re-purposed to kill bacteria on personal protective equipment.
But it’s not clear if hospitals are ready to jump on board just yet, according to the article.
A spokesperson for Bellin Hospital gave the following statement: “We are aware and appreciative of this offer. Bellin Health continues to explore our options for obtaining and sterilizing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), but at this time we have nothing to share related to this particular company or process.
