Description

This face shield was created as an emergency action in an effort to protect people by providing backup Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) options if the standard PPE is unavailable. This device has not gone through the same regulatory approval process as standard PPE but it is undergoing a special verification process expedited strictly for the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

 

This design was derived from the “Prusa Protective Face Shield RC3 US version”.  Modifications were made to enable injection molding manufacturing techniques in addition to clinical feedback:

  • Integrated cover for the head-band to provide better protection
  • Ability to support button-hole elastic as well as tubing for visor strap 
  • Headband clips to enable larger clear plastic shield (8x13 inch)
