Montréal, Canada - New leading medical shielding expert in Canada threatens market monopoly

With the gradual privatization of the healthcare industry in Canada, the medical equipment industry is constantly on the move. Public hospitals, as well as private clinics, require accurate technology in an effort to improve patient care and allow physicians to better detect, diagnose, and treat diseases.

Understanding that having the proper technical assistance throughout the planning and the installation process of an MRI system is critical, Shielding Dynamics Inc. (SDI) has expanded its expertise to Canada. SDI Canada (SDIC) headquartered in Roxboro, Québec, has become their official and exclusive representative. They collaborate to produce a world class collection of Radio Frequency (RF) and Magnetic Shielding with innovative design and improved construction cycle time.

SDIC has done remarkable progress in its 10 months of existence, having already established relationships with Canada’s premier hospitals, health services institutes, private clinics, general contractors, leading architectural firms, major universities as well as diagnostic equipment manufacturers.

The company recently completed an RF Shield install as well as an upgrade for PCL Constructors Canada’s largest general contractor. SDIC has also successfully renovated one of Canada’s longest running MRI unit at the London Health Sciences Hospital in Ontario by installing a new structure. Stephen J. Karlik, P.H.D, from the hospital says that “the door is the best of all the manufacturers and I have received compliments on its operation from physicians, scientists and technologists. It appears to be quite robust and easy to care for. Your crew was very responsive to our needs and concerns and was very pleasant to deal with.” It is also currently working on several other projects including the Centre Hospitalier de Verdun in Québec.

SDI provides the medical imaging industry with expertise, professionalism, dependability, as well as integrity pricing. GE Medical Systems U.S. has accepted the company in their Associate Program for their knowledge of “the technical complexity and critical path items that are crucial to quality MRI construction.”

Its team of highly trained, certified expert installers oversees the project from conception with an initial site evaluation, to completion and final inspection with testing. They design shielding systems that meet any specification or application.

SDI guarantees immediate assistance at any stage of the project, impeccable service, competitive pricing, lower install times, a sound shielding system that improves noise absorption, standard fingerless doors, and the highest quality freestanding copper shield delivered on time. SDI has not missed a delivery date in over 10 years of operation.

SDI’s true strength comes from a fusion of quality product and category dominance supported by unparalleled levels of customer service and integrity. Since its startup in 1991 as the only manufacturer of RF and Magnetic Shielding in Texas, SDI has been rising to the rank of major competitor in the North American medical shielding industry providing a shielding solution for electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI).

R.G.Morris, the Region Director of Picker in Cleveland, OH, declared “I am extremely pleased with myself for having the wit to select your company for this difficult project and to thank you and your great team sincerely for a tough job extremely well done under extremely tough conditions.”

SDI’s experience and expertise is gained from hundreds of successful projects, installed within a variety of medical environments. SDI has successfully provided and installed RF Shielding internationally from Bangladesh to Israel as well as regionally from the province of British Columbia to the state of Virginia. The combination of both companies, experienced staff and strong customer service, provides a solid foundation for growing a world-class company.
