Face shields are an absolute necessity for healthcare workers, restaurant employees, and individuals who work in high traffic industries during a pandemic. Although it is best to use the face shield in unison with a face mask to offer the best possible protection, face shields appear to significantly reduce inhalation exposure to viruses that are known to be transmitted through droplets. Face shields have shown to reduce immediate viral exposure by 96% within 18 inches of a cough, thus preventing workers from getting sick themselves.
These reusable face shields by Universal Spartan are made of lightweight safety PET plastic coupled with a foam pad for comfort and an elastic bed to strap the shield to the face. The shield covers the full face by extending below the chin anteriorly, to the ears, and does not have any gaps between the forehead and headpiece. It is reusable and should be disinfected with isopropyl alcohol after use. Shields are treated with anti-fog on both sides. These shields are sold in cases of 200 units.
