Designed for Hazardous
Pharmaceuticals
®The Baker Company’s ChemoSHIELD is the industry’s
first ergonomically comfortable, totally contained glovebox
designed for aseptic compounding of hazardous or potent
pharmaceutical drugs, chemotherapy agents and IV
admixtures. The negative-pressure glovebox provides a
physical barrier between pharmacists and the hazardous
drugs they may encounter.
More than ever, pharmacy personnel in hospitals, retail
stores, nursing homes and home health care organizations
need to protect themselves from the toxic nature of today’s
prescription drugs while maintaining
the integrity of the prescriptions.
