The Barf Bib Company was developed by an EMT and a Paramedic working in the busy city of San Diego, CA. The pair worked on one of the most active ALS ambulances in the city. Averaging 9-12 transports in a 12 hour shift. Within a 12 hour shift the crew would average 3-4 hours total out of service time, either because they had an unsteady emesis basin that spilled or because a patients condition has caused them to vomit uncontrollably. This was of great concern due to the significant cleaning and disinfection of the ambulance and vital equipment that is used for patient care. As well as the increased amount of time the provider is exposed to a patients vomit. They tolerated this for months before the Barf Bib (BB08) was created.

The Barf Bib Company is a new company. The company is owned and operated by Kevin Makinson an EMT. He has been an EMT in San Diego for 4 yrs working both ALS and BLS. He created the disposable body fluid containment bib with his partner to solve a problem that kept recurring in the back of their ambulance causing numerous problems. The problem is vomit. A patients vomit can contain thousands of germs and potential diseases. The BB08 was developed with the professional provider in mind. It could save you time and money and keep you safe.
