Medical Face Shields are simple, transparent screens that cover the face and help prevent infectious droplets from entering the eyes, nose and mouth. They are usually worn in conjunction with other PPE, such as masks, to block splashes and sprays from reaching the face and prevent workers from touching their faces.

"The advantages of face shields are their durability allowing them to be worn an indefinite number of times, the ability to easily clean them after use, their comfort, and they prevent the wearer from touching their face," Mike Edmond, a healthcare epidemiologist and physician based in the US wrote on his blog.

Made from Food Grade clear plastic, the shields provide a protective barrier directly in front of the face that guards the eyes, the nose and mouth. Ideal for workers who have face-to-face contact with the public such as retail outlets, sales agents, courier company staff and medical personnel.

The Medical Face Shield does not obstruct vision, can be worn for long periods of time, has a flexible elastic strap and can be disinfected with soap and water.
