Buy face shields and mouth visors
Social distancing, hygiene, everyday masks - but what else can we do to protect ourselves?
Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, face shields have been offered to protect the wearer from getting liquids or particles splashed into their face. The face shield has therefore proven to be a practical addition to the standard face masks and FFP2 masks. The face shield has therefore become indispensable in the healthcare and catering sectors, as well as in the cosmetics industry and social institutions.
What exactly is a face shield and a face visor?
A face shield is a transparent plastic disc that covers the entire face. It is usually worn with an elasticated strap, which is infinitely adjustable. Other visors have integrated glasses and are worn like glasses. Droplets are prevented from penetrating the mucous membranes by the visor, so you are buying additional protection for yourself.
A mouth visor is a device that specifically covers the chin and mouth and is attached behind the ears. The visor consists of a plastic disc that is aligned in front of the mouth and nose area, but does not rest directly on the face.
Why is a face shield helpful?
- As the coronavirus can also be transmitted via the conjunctiva, it makes sense to buy and wear a face shield that covers the entire face
- You can breathe easily under a face visor or face shield. This is an advantage for pregnant women or people with respiratory diseases, for example, who are exempt from wearing an FFP2 mask anyway
- Communication is made easier as the entire face is visible
- The face shield can be individually adjusted, leaves no pressure marks behind the ear and prevents the glasses from fogging up
- The face shield allows the wearer to breathe naturally and prevents hearing impairment
- A mouth visor, but also a face shield, offers advantages in terms of hygiene: the wearer touches their face less often, and the visor can also be easily cleaned and reused.
Both the face shield and the face visor offer certain advantages to the wearer as well as to the other person. Daycare centre children or hearing-impaired people in particular benefit from being able to see the facial expressions of the person they are talking to.
Order face protection in the healthcare sector in the online shop
Face shields are worn in addition to FFP2 masks at the doctor's, in hospitals, in geriatric care and also in test lanes. This is because the face shields offer the wearer additional protection against droplet infection via the conjunctiva. If you think of a visit to the dentist, you will quickly realise why your dentist also wears a face shield in addition to the FFP-2 mask.
Face protection in the catering industry
The situation is similar in the catering industry. You arrive at a restaurant and take a seat at your table. You can of course remove your mask there. The restaurant staff can then additionally protect themselves from possible droplet infections by buying and wearing a face shield.
Face shields for the cosmetics industry
If you work in the cosmetics industry, it is also advisable to invest in a face shield. While you are looking after your customers, you don't need to worry about them sneezing or coughing unexpectedly. The shield protects you in addition to the face mask or FFP2 mask, even if the other person has taken off their own mask for a short time.
