Foreign Object Debris (FOD)
FOD is a big issue for many industries where organization and cleanliness are very important.
Medical FOD Control
The designers at OSAAP are instructed to pay very close attention to each Shadow Board to prevent possible FOD or Islands in our boards.
FOD control is a high priority for medical facilities. Preventing debris on tools, supplies, or during a procedure is of utmost importance. For medical industries we recommend using the plasticore material option of shadow board. Plasticore is FDA approved, easy to clean/soak and has no debris compared to foam which can occasionally have stray particles.
Shadow boards are a very useful supply for medical industries to have. Keeping your tools in the exact right place and accounted for can prevent mishaps and increase facility organization.
