After the COVID-19 pandemic, medicalisolation face shields have transitioned from emergency supplies to regular equipment for infection control in medical institutions. With their design that combines protection and practicality, they have become an "invisible barrier" safeguarding the safety of medical staff and patients.

I. Core Product Characteristics: Adapting to Clinical Needs

Medical isolation face shields use high-transparency PVC for the protective shield, which offers strong light transmission to ensure a clear field of view during consultations and surgeries. The high-resilience sponge along the edge fits the face closely, balancing protective sealing performance and wearing comfort. The anti-aging elastic straps are suitable for different head circumferences, preventing frequent slipping. Their core function remains blocking the splashing of body fluids and blood — a feature that has become a standard in more clinical scenarios after the pandemic, driven by the "zero tolerance for nosocomial infections" requirement.

II. Normalized Application Scenarios

1. Daily Diagnosis and Treatment: Prioritizing Disposable Models

In general internal medicine consulting rooms (for throat examinations, intravenous punctures), minor surgeries in surgical outpatient clinics (tumor resection, wound suturing), and pediatric care, patients may easily produce droplets or fluid splashes. Disposable face shields can directly block such risks; they also eliminate the need for cleaning and disinfection, reducing the burden on central supply departments and suiting the high patient flow in outpatient settings.

2. Reusable Models: Standardized Management for Cost Reduction

Departments like operating rooms and ICUs opt for reusable face shields. After use, they must go through the process of "classified collection → preliminary cleaning → low-temperature plasma sterilization → functional inspection → storage". If a face shield is damaged, has reduced light transmission, or is heavily contaminated by body fluids from patients with infectious diseases or blood, it must be discarded immediately. This has become a rigid requirement after the pandemic.

3. Special Scenarios: Maintaining High Protection Standards

In areas such as infectious disease wards and fever clinics, face shields must be used together with protective suits and N95 masks, and replaced every 4 hours. In case of emergencies like influenza outbreaks, medical institutions will stock up on high-fit disposable face shields to meet the needs of key departments such as emergency departments and respiratory departments.

III. Efficiency and Safety Assurance

Medical institutions provide training to ensure medical staff master correct wearing methods (e.g., no gaps at the sponge area, the elastic strap should allow inserting one finger). This prevents protective failure or unnecessary wear. They also conduct classified procurement based on department needs — disposable face shields for outpatient and emergency departments, and reusable face shields for operating rooms and ICUs as needed — achieving the goal of "safety first and cost-controllable".

Today, medical isolation face shields have been deeply integrated into the daily infection control systems of medical institutions. With their stable protective performance, they safeguard the occupational safety of medical staff and reduce the risk of nosocomial infections.
