Our story
EpiGuard is a Norwegian company established in 2015 by doctors and paramedics from the Oslo University Hospital, together with co-founders Inven2, Eker Group, and Hansen Protection.
The company holds top level expertise with product development and manufacturing. The medical background ranges from intensive care, infectious diseases, internal medicine, and anesthesiology, through to transport medicine.
Our first product is the EpiShuttle, which was developed by clinical experts with first-hand experience in providing advanced treatment and transportation of patients with highly infectious diseases, including Ebola. We aim to continue to develop and manufacture high-end medical equipment for safe transport of contagious patients.
