Contribution
In 1993 Vallino was granted a patent along with her mother, Betty Rozier for the polyethylene site proctor also known as the I.V. house. The idea was brought up while Lisa was working as a nurse. She wanted to make an improvision to the way nurses distributed IV needles to patients. She created a protector shaped like a computer mouse that had a smooth outer edge surface. The protector was also transparent so that the IV was visible. The IV house was designed to make patients much more comfortable and also easier for nurses. There are now less accidents due to the IV house because of placement. Due to the hardwork she has contributed along with her mother, she has received various awards.
