BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,  Feb. 1  /PRNewswire/ -- Modern Plastics custom designs and
manufactures LEXAN* "Universal Precaution Stations (Infection Control
Stations)" and "Narcotic Lock Boxes" for hospitals, nursing homes and other
patient-care facilities.  

LEXAN* Universal Precaution Stations are typically installed in all patient
care areas, outside patient rooms, hospital hallways and intensive care areas.
They are useful in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, long-term care
facilities, clinics, doctor offices, and anywhere that OSHA standards of
universal precautions must be maintained. The stations neatly organize and
make available an array of isolation supplies in one convenient location.
These can include such items as isolation gowns, various sizes of gloves,
respiratory masks, head covers, foot covers and protective eye wear.

Mandated lockable narcotic boxes are manufactured from the same LEXAN*
polycarbonate material. These boxes have been used in the ER, OR, ICU and PACU
areas where multiple dosing of narcotics substances from one syringe or vial
is necessary. These boxes provide safe and secure storage at bedside areas
between individual doses.

Customers are able to choose from existing designs or design their own
precaution stations to meet their needs, including different sizes, designs,
colors, and material selection with no additional design or engineering costs.
Modern Plastics offers consultations with a critical care experienced
registered nurse and a plastic fabrication specialist to best understand and
meet your needs.

"Modern Plastics manufactures and designs quality custom fabricated plastic
items for the healthcare industry," said Bing J. Carbone, President of Modern
Plastics. He added, "Our hospital Universal Precaution Stations and Narcotic
Lock Boxes are manufactured from tough, break-resistant LEXAN* polycarbonate
sheet and are designed to hold up under the most extreme conditions." Modern
Plastics' Universal Precaution Stations and Narcotic Lock Boxes have been
installed at world-renowned hospitals all across  the United States  in cities
such as  Boston, MA;  New Haven, CT; and  Philadelphia, PA.

Modern Plastics is offering a single "FREE" Universal Precaution Station or
Narcotic Lock Box prototype that is custom designed to individual

the Universal Precaution Stations and Narcotic Lock Boxes can be fabricated
from.
