Medical visors have been there in healthcare settings for quite some time now, but they are now an important staple for healthcare personnel who interact with patients suffering with COVID-19. These Medical Visors are often worn during a variety of medical practices and procedures including surgeries or any procedure where blood or other body fluids could get into the eyes, nose and mouth.

Medical Visor available at Medcare is a typical curved plastic or Plexiglas panel attached to a headband that can be worn over the face with a tight fit so that there isn’t a gap between the band and the forehead. This shield is extended beyond the chin area so as to provide a satisfying aerosol protection. Since it is quite extended, it protects the eyes as well as the nose and mouth to provide an ideal coverage since the new COVID-19 Virus can enter the body through those points.

Although it is not recommended to wear Medical visors for regular activities or as a substitute for cloth face coverings, but some people use a face shield whenever they feel like they’ll be in a close contact situation with others. It’s best to wear a mask underneath the face shield and maintain physical distancing as much as possible. Doing this will help minimize the risk of infection since these Medical visors are open from the bottom.

How to clean a face shield?

Masks absorb the aerosol particles when we sneeze or cough, but a Medical visor don’t. So, in order to make it virus free, a regular cleaning and sanitization is required. Studies suggest that virus likes to live on plastic a lot better than compared to materials like cloth, paper or cardboard so it is always recommended to clean your face shield once you take it off. You can even sterilize it with an antibacterial wipe or soap and water.

If your face shield has cracked or becomes damaged, don’t use it further. In many places, these Medical visors are offered in bulk which makes them easier to pitch the damaged face shield and move on to the next one so be very careful before using.
