People Usually Ask

What kind of plastic is used to make face shields?

add
Medical face shield manufacturers like The Kare Lab use a material called PET (polyethylene terephthalate). These are used to make replaceable clear shields used by healthcare employees, patients, and industry workers, and sometimes, individuals, especially during the COVID -19 pandemic. The plastics used are considered as PPE (personal protective equipment) and, they are usually bendable, impact-resistant, anti-fog, easy to clean and allow for high clarity while also protecting against hazardous particles and respiratory droplets.

Are face shields effective as medical face masks?

add
Face shields are not as effective as face masks in preventing the spread of pathogens such as the coronavirus or a flu. Most plastic face shield supplies are best used in combination with a 3-ply face mask or a FFP2 mask, for instance, as adequate protection against COVID-19 and other respiratory tract diseases. However, a face shield can be used industrially and in the home for protecting wearers from chemical splashes and other unwanted splatters.

How to clean medical face shields?

add
It is advised to always adhere to the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and disinfecting medical face shields. Where instructions are not available, consider doing the following to remove infectious particles. Use a cleaning wipe or a clean cloth dipped in a neutral detergent/disinfectant solution to wipe both sides of the face shield. This should be done while putting on protective gloves. Rid the shield of detergent or disinfectant residues by rinsing in clean water or alcohol. Allow the shield to air dry or wipe with a towel.

When to wear a face shield?

add
A face shield can be worn over a medical face mask, with safety glasses or any protective eyewear, whenever very close contact would be sustained with other persons. As face protection, a face shield can also be worn during surgical operations or industry activities that could result in spluttering of body fluids or dangerous chemicals. The CDC does not recommend wearing medical face shields for everyday activities as an alternative to face masks. It also does not recommend plastic face shields for newborns and infants.
